Calculator App Issues in iOS 18

Is anyone at Apple addressing the issues with the iOS 18 calculator app on iPhone? Pressing equal after entering an equation and solving at once doesn’t allow you to calculate again without retyping everything. I use the calculator multiple times a week as a counter at work and losing this functionality is incredibly impactful.


I’ve also found that the calculator will move to scientific notation in the six figure range in vertical mode. This seems excessive, considering the old calculator would display millions without switching to scientific notation. I’m really confused why these “features” were added to the new calculator as opposed to leaving actual working features from before.

Quite literally the most pointless change to what was a decent working calculator - it is now utterly unuseable. It’s like a child’s speak and spell.

Once more pointless and unnecessary changes ruining a once great app.

why change it if it worked? It’s like it was designed by someone who never actually uses a calculator. 😡
