I like how fast they turned “ha ha, at least they have a sense of humor about how stupid it is that it’s taken this long to get Calculator on iPad” into “…oh my” when Pencil entered the picture.

Good that it delivers something really nice and isn’t just finally getting the damn thing on iPad.

Seems like they waited until they could do what Craig said of an iPad calculator app in 2020, “There’s some things that we have not done because we would want to do something really distinctly great in that space,” the Apple VP explained. “We want to do it when we can do it really, really well. And we honestly just haven’t gotten around to doing it great.”

Yea I was tempted to make a joke that it took them 14 years (still ridiculous), but the new calculator app actually looks really impressive, and potentially will make learning math a lot more fun.
