iPads have been around for 14 years but Apple has taken this long to make a calculator app for the platform and add more features to it.

iPads are a market leader in the tablet segment and Apple has made merry with new premium models for the consumers that have sold like hotcakes over the years. But the device has waited 14 years to get a standard, basic calculator app made by Apple. No, this is not a prank, Apple’s first calculator app has made its way via the iPadOS 18 version this year.

Some might say better late than never, but surely 14 years is late enough for an app like this to be available on one of the most popular products in the market. Android tablets have offered a calculator from day one, and even after repeated pleas, Apple has waited this long for the feature to be available on the so-called productivity device that even caters to students. So, does the first iPad calculator app from Apple bring anything different to the table, you bet!

iPad Calculator App From Apple After 14 Years: Here’s What It Offers

Apple has powered the Calculator app with its AI tech which gives you new features that other calculators don’t have. Apple’s version is capable of solving handwritten equations using the intuitive tech which can be really handy for students and professionals. That’s not all, the iPad’s app is in sync with the Apple Pencil and touch input that will be hard to find in other apps on any platform, as claimed by the company.

Apple’s focus on the calculator app for iPads go far beyond simple Maths solving measures. It can even handle complex mathematical and scientific equations. If that wasn’t enough, the app has a record of all the equations and calculations done on the app via the historical data which allows you to easily access them whenever needed.

You will be seeing more AI power added to the iPad M-series variants with the iPadOS 18.1 version which will be rolling out in October for iPad Air M1, iPad Air M2 and the iPad Pro series among others.
