    So many features, yet the calculator is still a piece of shit. What’s the thing with Apple? Is it THAT hard to make something like this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/calc-smart-calculator/id576675190

    Something decent that actually shows you the entire expression with the ability to place the cursor anywhere to edit previously inserted numbers?

    I just don’t get it, their calculator is the most useless thing ever, you type a number, hit “+” and the number is gone.

      No shame in leaving room for third party apps. I don’t really expect the built-ins to be all encompassing…

      Lots of updates coming to the ios calculator with ios18. They obviously focused on the ipad version because it has the written math notes stuff, but a lot of those features are coming to the iphone, too.

      The current calculator has had a lot more options if you turn the phone sideways, but no one ever does that. Personally, I’m a pCalc guy.
