Calculator Functionality Change After Update

I have many iPhones and I’m going to use my old one because I use this function everyday

No, he wants to see the value of the Percentage amount. In your equation the value is 5.

Useful for when you get a bill at a restaurant and it has tip amount section.

You now have to do

100-5%=95

100-95= 5 to get the 5 value of the percentage amount

I understand that. But I was just saying I don't blindly trust a calculator. I always estimate the result beforehand so that I can validate the result. I have no need for the changed value. I certainly wouldn't break out my MacBook to calculate a tip amount, even if I couldn't calculate it in my head.

Press and hold the button and it will clear all.

Does NO ONE ever read the release notes when installing a major update to any software?

Don't be silly! Of course, some people read them. You do, I do, LotusPilot and Limnos probably do. I'm sure there are a few others.

This is a classic case of “if it’s not broken - don’t fix it”!!!

This is such an annoying little change - I totally agree with others here - I really appreciated to see the percentage amount before adding it… 😩

The corollary is “If it is broke, FIX it"

Also, a translation: "If it works the way I want, it's the way it should be. If it works the way other people want, it's broken and they are stupid."

Feedback - macOS - Apple

Can you explain.

When I do 100-5% I get 95 which is what I would expect. Is that what you mean?

You don't get to se 5% of 100 = 5 and 100-5 is 95

Yep, I don't see the point, but yes, it does not work the way you want.

I estimate the result before running the calculation and if it looks close to my estimate, no need to verify.

+1

Well, all I can say is, if I needed a Mac or iPhone, or calculator to figure out what to tip, I would have to change my screen name.

this be fixed?

Use a spreadsheet. Numbers should have come with your Mac.
