Apple released the first iPad in 2010, but it wasn’t until this week at WWDC 2024 that the iPad finally got the Calculator app. (Math somehow fell through the cracks in one iPadOS update after another over the past 14 years.) Of course, there are plenty of third-party calculator apps on the App Store, but I’ve always thought it’s odd that this basic app was missing from the iPad.
That finally changed on Monday. There were rumors Apple would add the Calculator app to iPadOS this year, but I was hoping it would include some advanced features like graphing capabilities. What we got instead impressed me even more: An all-new app called Math Notes.
