I have gotten around the lack of a calculator on the iPad for years, by using Siri and asking her to do the calculations for me as long as they're simple. I often need to translate Fahrenheit into Celsius and vice versus versa and also convert dollars to euros and vice versa! Siri does that for me and I don't even have to pick up the device, whichever one I want to use.!

[@keithdavies51]

The calculator has been improved but they could do more with the conversion by displaying previous chosen settings when changing conversion. Eg I use currency British pounds to euros, then I move to weight and select kg to stone. When I go back to currency conversion it still shows kg to stone selection. I shouldn’t need to select again the conversion it should remember my previous setting. Also on conversion to stone is there any chance they could incorporate displaying stones and pounds rather than the decimal display of pounds.

[@simonrobbins8357]

There’s a few anomalies with the conversions. Another one I found is that under volumes, you can convert litres to imperial gallons. But under the fuel calculations you can only convert litres per hundred kilometres into miles per US gallon there’s no miles per imperial gallon.

It be nice if iCloud had a tier between 200GB and the 2TB tier either between 500GB or 1TB, I can’t justify paying the 2TB level but the 200GB is getting too small. Apple should either revise the tiers or have a middle tier. I really would like my cellular AppleWatch to be able to connect to my car information system via Bluetooth without requiring a iPhone there is no reason to restricting the Bluetooth. I have a workaround of using a Bluetooth adapter but why Apple. If selecting txt in a note wasn’t so damn difficult it always seems to do the opposite of what you want it to select and oddly was easy when the iPhone first was released. Better parental controls on children devices, ability to give children faceid or touchid but two tiers if id somethings only parents I’d can unlock. Apple bloat, features not used or poorly implemented. Some useful features. Calculator yah on a iPad I hope the convert function are on the iPhone version too.

I am sure there are a lot of good changes with iOS 18, but I feel I am constantly re-learning iOS. I am currently struggling to fight my muscle memory when using photos, and can't find photos and albums where I used to. I really didn't have a problem with the previous layout. This goes with a lot of things that Apple changes. Some of us need a rest from the learning curve. If you buy a new Apple device, the option to go back to a familiar operating system has gone forever. Not all updates are improvements. Years ago, in the Calendar app you could add an entry but going to the day view and tapping on the time slot you wanted the appointment. Now, when you add a new appointment, Apple assumes that, whatever day you want it on, you are most likely to want it to be at the current time. This is a ridiculous assumption. Why can't they go back to the "tap on a time" method? Yeah, I am not a teenager anymore but I spend a lot on high end Apple devices. Please don't fix the things that aren't broken and work on the ones (like Calendar, above) that are.

So I want to like like iPadOS 18. But it has a bunch of quirks that annoy me. Like the fact that you can move the app icons so it’s not filling from left to right top to bottom is a nice addition. But it’s really broken where moving one icon moves everything. I like that safari no longer automagically closes tabs when I am scrolling through the tabs because it thinks I my vertical scroll was a flick to the side. But the fact that the tab groups are now in a collapsible side panel instead of in a drop down menu when I tap on a tab group is annoying not to mention that the search tabs requires me to swipe down. The fact that Journals is on iPhone and not iPad astounds me. The darken background not being tied to your dark and light mode is also a weird choice.

With respect to Apple’s new iPadOS 18.x calculator … There are many inaccurate results in its ability to calculate correct results which I in fact provided proof in feedback during the Beta phase releases. They have not been corrected. Any undergraduate student having taken a Numerical Analysis course will easily be able to discover the issues with the calculator app. The only other thing that I feel was missing even though there is a scientific mode is the lack of Engineering mode calculations. True, the new calculator functionality is a real eyeopener when used with the Apple Pencil; but, I would never rely on the results in an age where we are able to understand and correct numerical issues.
