Apple’s Calculator- A tool is as essential as it is frustratingly simple
Ah, the iPhone calculator—a tool as essential as it is frustratingly simple. The humble calculator app offers little more than a pocket calculator from 1985. Let's address the elephant in the room—the missing history feature. Even the abacus probably had a more advanced memory function than the iPhone calculator. Picture this: you're in the middle of some crucial calculations, adding up your monthly budget or dividing a restaurant bill by that awkward number of friends who showed up. One wrong tap, and poof! Your carefully entered numbers disappear into the ether, never to be seen again. Want to review your past calculations? Good luck! The iPhone calculator is the Snapchat of math—here today, gone in a split second, with zero recollection of its existence. Apple somehow decided that the ability to look back at your calculations is unnecessary. You know, just like how history classes are unnecessary; who needs to learn from the past? With iOS updates rolling out annually, featuring new emojis and AR capabilities, it seems astounding that a calculator history tab hasn't made the cut. Are they trying to save it as the show-stopping feature for iOS 23? While we wait for Apple to add a feature as radical as "history," feel free to jot down your calculations on a piece of paper—just like your ancestors did it.
