No Calculator in Apple product

What a shame! Apple product never built calculator in their product. Apple Customers have to rely on third party Calculator apps. It’s a shame on customer eyes.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

The iPad has never had a native calculator app since the first one was released. There are hundreds of free calculator apps that you can download to your iPad, and you can choose what type of calculator that you want, based on the features you need. The calculator on the iPhone is a very simplistic and minimal featured app. An iPad user would want something much more feature rich.

There has never, ever been a native calculator app, for the very same reasons that their has been NO weather app for iPads/iPadOS.

Apple never finished developing or designing an acceptable and unique calculator app or weather app for iPad.

And, for the past 10 years, now, since, there is a whole third party, iOS App Store marketplace/cottage industry for a plethora of exceptional iPad calculator and weather apps, now!

So, a native iPadOS calculator app or weather app for iPad is, now, not even being considered, any longer, by Apple.

Apple had an opportunity to create unique iPad calculator and weather apps for iPad with the totally redesigned iPadOS, but Apple, once again, squandered this perfect opportunity.

Tap and read the story below.

Also, YouTube video with an included interview with Craig Federighi, from Apple on why NO calculator app for iPad/iPadOS.

There is also NO real Weather app ( only a Weather widget ), Wallet app OR Health app for iPad, either.


You will need to go to the iOS App Store and decide on a free or paid ( to remove ads ) third party calculator or weather apps.


If you are one of these groups of users who is, vehemently, opposed to paying any third party iPad calculator or weather app developer for their work in creating such apps, here is, but one totally free ( no ads ) calculator app that you can add to your iPad, from the iOS App Store .


Sci:Pro Calculator.

There are many more third party calculator apps. Some free with ads.


Same goes for iPadOS weather apps


Others that range from $0.99- $2.99 that offer both no ads and additional features that add value to their calculator and weather apps.

The choices are up to you..



Best of Luck to You!
