We've been waiting 14 years for a native iOS app to finally arrive on iPad in June?

According to the information shared McRumors This week, Apple’s Calculator app will finally be available on iPad this year. In fact, it hasn’t seen the light of day at the moment, as the publisher prefers to focus on updates to its iPhone and Mac client. There are also rumors that the PC version could benefit from major improvements during the Worldwide Developers Conference.

WWDC will be held from 10 to 14 Juneand also, according to some rumors, it will be an opportunity to discover new artificial intelligence features for iOS 18. The meeting is scheduled for 19:00 (Paris time) for the opening keynote on the first day of the event.

Otherwise, know that a keynote address is also scheduled for May 7 next. However, analysts suggest that during this conference Apple will introduce its new stylus for tablets, as well as the OLED iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Air. Since the Calculator app is expected to arrive on these devices soon, it would make sense to introduce it at the same time. But for now, nothing is less certain.

When will Calculator be available on iPad?

Most likely a calculator will appear with the iPadOS 18 update, the latter will be revealed in detail during the Worldwide Developers Conference. Deployment of a new version of the operating system should be planned in three stages. First of all, developers will be able to benefit from the beta on the evening of June 10th, immediately after the WWDC keynote. The general public will also be able to access it, but for them another beta is expected by July, which is often considered a little more stable.

The final version of iPadOS 18, in turn, should appear in the fall. More precisely, in September. However, we will add that there may be delays, such as when iPadOS 16 asked us to wait until October to access it. Constant errors with this function are to blame. Internship Manager.

What new features are coming?

At this point, we don’t know if the new Calculator app features expected in macOS 15 will also be offered on iPad. First of all, they will pay tribute to the completely redesigned design with round buttons instead of the square tiles that are currently displayed on computers. Apple would also add a shortcut to resize the window as we wish, which would also be consistent with the value proposition Internship Manager introduced a few months ago, now on iPad.

The Calculator app can also native integration with Apple Notes, but this app is already available on iPadOS 17, and there’s no reason why the next version shouldn’t be eligible for it. This integration, in particular, could take the form of mathematical formulas, but at the moment we do not know more.

Finally, know that Unit conversion will also be simplified. on macOS 15. But even here, our source of the day doesn’t indicate whether iPadOS 18 will benefit from this calculator advantage.

The Calculator app was first launched in 2007, at the same time as the iPhone. At that time, the latter did not have an App Store, since Steve Jobs did not want to open iOS to third-party developers. Fortunately, this came a little later, and is what allowed the iPad to take advantage of alternative calculators for almost fifteen years, as Apple decided not to release its tool on tablets.
