The NEW iPad Calculator App is AMAZING in iOS 18! (here’s how to use it)

[@Oleg__]

Probably the best video about the new Calculator app so far. Just wanted to see something like this. Saw everything I was interested in, including my speculations, like whether you can delete everything on the calculator screen if you hold down the backspace key. No one talked about it or showed it. And didn't even answer my question in the comments about it.

[@Krxy_Dimensional]

It doesnt look like a “new” calculator It is the standard calculator app with 2 new buttons added

[@Oleg__]

@@Krxy_Dimensional Totally disagree. You'd have to be blind to write that. Or not to understand the new version of the application at all.

[@BrandonButch]

Was the 14-year wait for a Calculator app on the iPad worth it!?

Yes, I wish Steve could have seen it too.

[@hhenree]

@@petilee1he did, from above

[@nathanaelculver5308]

No. All we got after 14 years was a bog standard calculator app with less functionality that a dozen App Store calculators. Can’t believe Apple took 14 years to give us this.

[@RyanBischoffPercussion]

I swear I thought I had a calculator app on my iPad 2 (?) I think it was a 2. I think I got it in 2012 (?).

Too small of a display for handwritten notes on iPhones

[@BennyBoy_Alpha]

@@liviomakesmusicyeah the math notes is naturally more designed for the iPad.

[@BrandonButch]

yeah, definitely not the best experience on iOS but at least Apple made it possible instead of limiting it to just iPadOS

[@hazadoor]

Absolute garbage for people doing complex math imo. I’m trying to use it to study more efficiently for an upcoming math test but it can’t even do simple equations like 3x+5=11 don’t even get me started on systems of equations. As of now I’m just using my ti 84 along with using notes

Awesome presentation

[@AwfullWaffle]

The calculator app upgrades and addition to iPad are the best things about 18 so far and hardly anyone is talking about it. I’m glad I’m not the only one geeking out on it 😂

[@Ferndalien]

The only reason it won't replace the retro HP-15 app that I bought for my iPad and iPhone, is that I'm used to using RPN notation. I'm just faster with it after all these years. But it's still a great improvement over the original. Thank you for doing this video.

Changing values by hovering does not work on iPad Air 4. Is it iPad/Pencil pro only?

[@ryoji4200]

Man, the only thing I want to know is if this thing can do systems of equations, higher degree equations or work with complex numbers. As a student it’d be a game changer if it did.

[@junk_techie]

It doesn’t

[@ryoji4200]

@@junk_techie😭😭😭

[@breadone_]

nope, it can only do very basic math that you could already do on a calculator lol. basically useless imo

[@slipperywhale2167]

Pretty useless except for the graph function. It can barely pass as a replacement for desmos or your graphing calculator

[@mohammadasharhussain6276]

Not useless that can be added in future. The important thing is how accurately it reads your handwriting

9:30, a Polynomial n = 3 graph is a straight line?

[@nabinpoudelnp]

I think it’s picking up on his previous values of y=5.5 and x=12 and plugging it in.

[@abeljacobi4221]

@@nabinpoudelnp That’s correct, x wasn’t a free variable, but a constant x = 12. It showed the value 924 when he clicked on the equal sign. I wondered why he didn’t notice that the graph wasn’t a 3rd degree polynomial.

[@andry1816]

perfect tutorial, but more…USEFUL than the others😪 THANK YOU

[@RJMEL24]

I upgraded to ios18 on my iPad and there is no new Calculator app like you show on my Home Screen. Where is it then?

[@philipps3988]

On the first screen which had an empty space for a new app…

[@javaman_54]

thanx for this eye opener ti calculator. do we need to have internet connection to perform all actions?

[@Oleg__]

What I don't like about the new Calculator app is that they've changed the way the keys respond. Previously, a click sounded when you touched the Calculator keys. But now, for some reason, they made it so that the click sounds when you release the keys. Because of this, the feeling of instant response and lightness is gone. I have no idea why they did that, and whether it was intentional.

[@debbielynn6683]

Fantastic new upgrade and addition to the iPad. You didn’t mention it but was wondering if there are functions for fractions? Thanks for all your great videos, I always learn so much 👍🏻

[@BrandonButch]

Yes, fractions work just as well as everything else! Appreciate the support

[@joebowbeer]

How does hover work? I'm not seeing a slider

[@paulmaric2965]

Handy video Brandon! These calculator changes/updates will be very useful for me. So much more I'll be able to do, unlike these past many years.

[@edhickl205]

Wish Apple would include option to select RPN (Reverse Polish Notation).

[@ishan4467]

As a physics student who's tried the app with some not too difficult but still decent equations it's still lacking. In my opinion it still finds it difficult to work with multiple variables simultaneously and its still worse than a normal scientific calculator. For example I did a calculation like g / (1 + √h/R)² and it struggled with that surprisingly. I'm not sure if it's just my calculator or if other people are having issues like this too. For basic calculations it's great but the way they advertised it in the keynote where they found projectile velocities I expected it to do more PS: the graph feature also donesnt with powers above 2 like x³ + 7y² + 4x + 9

[@sigiligus]

It can do graphs but it can't actually solve equations or expressions. For all the hype from mathematically illiterate sois it's actually just a basic arithmetic calculator with some graphical features. Potentially useful for lists and stuff, but this is not Wolfram Alpha. It is completely and utterly useless for helping with anything beyond arithmetic.

[@bretthollenbeck812]

[@halfsourlizard9319]

Does it handle symbolic maths? If you give it a system of symbolic judgements, can it evaluate / reduce / reason about them?

[@halfsourlizard9319]

e.g., if you provide a denotational semantics and a term, can it derive / simplify the denotation of the term?

[@jean-pierrescherer8250]

i'm so happy someone finally mentioned the scientific calculator in landscape on ios 17. I didn't have a use for it, but everyone talking about the new ios 18 calculator updates was like "We finally have a scientific calculator built in to the default calculator app" and I was just sitting here going how does nobody know this? I found out about it by mistake when using my phone at a weird angle while reading something and I was sure others had to have done something similar

[@dennisatakent]

Can we write sentences in math notes to explain what we are calculating? Also, will math notes handle fractions?

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

I do wish they would have just released a basic calculator app on the ipad. Then they could have updated the app to add the pencil features.

[@Brandonizzle3]

How do you replicate the feature where you continuously press on the equal = to repeat the mathematical function you just performed? For example if I multiply 2000 times 1.1 I should get 2200 as a result, but I want to continue to press the = so that it continuously multiplies each result by 1.1 in an endless cycle as long as I am continuously, pressing the =. You can’t do it anymore and I absolutely hate the update for it because it was the main reason I used the app. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[@jerrymoreno1714]

Great vid. Will def be using these new features in Notes!

[@bskarpa]

Will it do calculus?

[@DingusBatus]

I’m old school and like doing maths using pen and paper, the result being I have lots of little bits of paper with lots of little scribbles laying around. I lose track of what was what and why. This might just replace all those little bit of paper…but apparently,for now, iPadOS18 likes to brick the newest M4 tablets so has been delayed whilst Apple tries to figure that out.

The notes calc freature is really good. Im in an ios fan, never owned an iPhone, mostly stuck to stock google phoens. But have a secnd gen ipad pro and smart case. Never took to it for thr forst few years, but since ipad os come about ive all but shelved my windows laptop. Ill have to give apple credit here, that notes feature is excellent, id of killed for this in highschool and uni. Though it would mean youd never learn anything. So not really great for students, but great for everyone above schooling age.

[@FemaleVillageElder]

Brandon does the calculator app support split screen? And by chance in iPadOS 18 have they made the settings app support split screen?

[@minmyatkhin1988]

But it provides wrong answer how I do? I want to know how I produce cos inverse=? It is not much cool.

That slider also appears if you tap on the number directly. Don’t need the hover feature to use it

I believe only newer iPads and Apple Pencil Pro models support the hover gesture. I own a 12.9-inch 5th generation iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil 2, but this gesture doesn’t work for me. To change a value on the slider, I have to tap with my finger.

Unless I missed it, no one (including this video) explains how memory works. Other calculator apps have M+, M-, MR, and MC to save results to memory. This video seems silent on this. Looking around in this new app, I see the scientific version has this memory options. In basic, you just copy the result and then later paste it in a new expression. Why this basic and necessary function can't be described here is a mystery to me.
