I just updated to iOS 8.1.3 and I noticed that the calculator app is gone since 8.1.3 ... so I restored my iPad but it's still not there ... am I missing something??? Is it a bug or a feature?
GarageBand (Mac) '11, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
The iPad does not have an included calculator, unlike the iPhone.

Oh! 😮 I thought iOS is iOS. No? 😕
So, I have to be careful by using Yosemite on different Macs? Maybe there is a missing widget on one of the Macs ... in the future.
Seems like Apple has a real luxury problem.
There is no need for drama. There are dozens of calculators available in the App Store, both free and paid for.
Good idea, we include advertising on all standard pre-installed iOS apps and users have to pay extra to remove them.
The iPad also doesn'thave stocks or a level. The calculator wan't there befor IOS8.1.3, you didn't lose anything.

I don't know who you think "We" are, but you are talking complete nonsense.
Try StocksWidget. You can get your stocks on Your Notification Center.

I was also confused about the missing calculator in iOS 8. I recently (5-2015) bought an iPad and read the user manual. In the document titled "iPad User Guide for iOS 8.3" from Apple, on page 47 about the Control Center, it does mention a Calculator accesable from the Control Center. I can only assume that Apple (at one time) intended to include a calculator, but forgot to update the user manual for the iPad (someone said it's on the iPhone). I found a free one called Calculator X that also does conversions. It has some ads, but they are at the top and bottom and not too intrusive.
So stop looking for the missing calc, and find a better one for free. I still am looking for one that "sits" in the Control Panel...
Or is the Control Panel off limits to developers?
Sharp eyes, I double checked and it definately says you can access the calculator from the Control Center. As you figured out it's a misprint. Even though developers can't touch the Control Center I'm surprized no one has come up with a calculator from the keypad app.. In the screenshot below I have a copy/paste history app you can access from the keyboard.
iOS 8.1.3 ... calculator gone? or a bug?
