For years, iPad users have had to download third-party calculator apps or access a web browser just to do math. Many of these third-party apps aren’t all that pleasant to use, as some of them come filled with ads or just don’t mesh well with the iPad’s interface. Not to mention that the better calculator apps, like PCalc, cost money to download.
This isn’t the only calculator rumor we’ve heard recently, either. Earlier this month, a report from AppleInsider revealed that Apple may be giving the Calculator app on macOS a little makeover. It wouldn’t be too much of a shock if Apple brings its Calculator app to the iPad this late in the game — the company also waited an infuriatingly long time before bringing its Weather to the iPad in 2022.
