Apple will reportedly unveil a genre-defining calculator app at WWDC 2024
You'll even reportedly be able to resize the calculator.
this doesn't seem like it's a press release in any way or anything, this isn't Apple bragging (yet). It's an article reporting on a second article that's sourced from... leaks? or something??
me, who's been using calcbot for the past 10+ years:
They might even be able to show a calculation history... Guys, holy shit, do you think they'll be able to get Calculator running on the iPad? It seems impossible to fathom...
I didn't actually know the iPad doesn't have a calculator app prior to making this post, talk about innovation
ipad didnt have a calculator app prior while macos didnt have a clock app until 2022.......
im so confused by this because they already have this feature there is already a paper tape in the calculator and it works
"You'll even reportedly be able to resize the calculator. If you make it bigger, the round buttons get stretched and turn pill-shaped, though they go back to their original form if you make the calculator smaller again."
resizing buttons… woa
that's been a feature in the Android calculator since the Material You redesign
Finally, the new calculator will make it easier to work with numbers in different currencies by incorporating the conversion tool into its user interface.
if there's anything i want from a calculator app, it's internet connectivity /s
ideal: fully-fledged graphing calculator app with a design which translates well to a new, test-certified graphing calculator. built with capabilities for 3D graphing and vector fields and arbitrary coordinate systems, everything you would need for college math. it's open source, it raises the bar, has bindings in 20 languages, and Matlab goes out of business
realistic: SiriGPT can convert some natural language queries into calculations
*pulls out a Ti-81
What now Apple? Huh? Can you even do the basics of a calculator? You got any other "ideas"?
