“Calculator” app arrives on iPads for the first time in 2024 and will receive artificial intelligence-based features

Apple has scheduled a new event for May 7th, as we learned yesterday. Well, during this conference, iPads will be presented, as well as accessories for the company’s tablets. Today we learn that one of the features that will be promoted for the iPad is… a more “special” Calculator application. I have details below.

You’ve probably wondered why the iPad doesn’t have an app “Computer” dedicated, although the first tablet in the company’s portfolio arrived in 2010. Well, the Apple development team would have created such an application before the launch of the first iPad tablet, only it was a scaled version of the one already available on the iPhone.

The problem was that it didn’t look very good on the iPad’s large display, and Steve Jobs decided that this application would not be included on the first iPad. Above I leave you a clip in which this is explained.

Time passed and the “Calculator” app never made an appearance on iPads. However, it seems that in 2024 such a really powerful tool is being prepared for us, which will use artificial intelligence to solve mathematical calculations. Such features will also be included in the app “Apple Notes” apparently.

The Calculator application would also receive an important update in the new MacOS, tipsters saying that it will integrate a new history, a redesigned design similar to the one on the iPhone, but also useful conversion features. According to rumors so far, the new app is coming with iOS 18 on iPad and MacOS. We learn more details during WWDC 2024.
