Probably the best video about the new Calculator app so far. Just wanted to see something like this. Saw everything I was interested in, including my speculations, like whether you can delete everything on the calculator screen if you hold down the backspace key. No one talked about it or showed it. And didn't even answer my question in the comments about it.
I’m just glad we can actually see the equation as we enter it instead of just seeing a number changing constantly and having to keep track of everything in your head
No. All we got after 14 years was a bog standard calculator app with less functionality that a dozen App Store calculators. Can’t believe Apple took 14 years to give us this.
Absolute garbage for people doing complex math imo. I’m trying to use it to study more efficiently for an upcoming math test but it can’t even do simple equations like 3x+5=11 don’t even get me started on systems of equations. As of now I’m just using my ti 84 along with using notes
The calculator app upgrades and addition to iPad are the best things about 18 so far and hardly anyone is talking about it. I’m glad I’m not the only one geeking out on it 😂
Fantastic new upgrade and addition to the iPad. You didn’t mention it but was wondering if there are functions for fractions? Thanks for all your great videos, I always learn so much 👍🏻
This is the kind of innovation we want from technology. Whoever Apple team that was in charge of the math notes/calculator needs HUGE probs for their work. Definitely have them in charge of the Airpods Max future projects because just getting a Type-C port was unbelievable.
Man, the only thing I want to know is if this thing can do systems of equations, higher degree equations or work with complex numbers. As a student it’d be a game changer if it did.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I can't figure out how you created your file "Math Notes" in the Notes app with the math icon. Could you give directions on that, please? Also, how do you separate the different problems with that straight line? Thank you so much
I downloaded 18 but there is NO calculator on the main home page Where can we see this new “ calculator” and I wonder if it works with the Magic Keyboard (as I just discovered it no longer works with the old calculator)
Hmmm... I updated and Iphone 15Pro and and Ipad Air 4 I have here to IOS 18 two days ago, .... and neither one of them have this calculator app (?). This app went out to everyone?
i'm so happy someone finally mentioned the scientific calculator in landscape on ios 17. I didn't have a use for it, but everyone talking about the new ios 18 calculator updates was like "We finally have a scientific calculator built in to the default calculator app" and I was just sitting here going how does nobody know this? I found out about it by mistake when using my phone at a weird angle while reading something and I was sure others had to have done something similar
As a physics student who's tried the app with some not too difficult but still decent equations it's still lacking. In my opinion it still finds it difficult to work with multiple variables simultaneously and its still worse than a normal scientific calculator. For example I did a calculation like g / (1 + √h/R)² and it struggled with that surprisingly. I'm not sure if it's just my calculator or if other people are having issues like this too. For basic calculations it's great but the way they advertised it in the keynote where they found projectile velocities I expected it to do more PS: the graph feature also donesnt with powers above 2 like x³ + 7y² + 4x + 9
It can do graphs but it can't actually solve equations or expressions. For all the hype from mathematically illiterate sois it's actually just a basic arithmetic calculator with some graphical features. Potentially useful for lists and stuff, but this is not Wolfram Alpha. It is completely and utterly useless for helping with anything beyond arithmetic.
I’m old school and like doing maths using pen and paper, the result being I have lots of little bits of paper with lots of little scribbles laying around. I lose track of what was what and why. This might just replace all those little bit of paper…but apparently,for now, iPadOS18 likes to brick the newest M4 tablets so has been delayed whilst Apple tries to figure that out.
I also like how the calculator has been tailored for regions. While you have Math Notes in the bottom left selection, here in Australia we have Maths Nores. Maths is the expression in Australia, not Math.
The notes calc freature is really good. Im in an ios fan, never owned an iPhone, mostly stuck to stock google phoens. But have a secnd gen ipad pro and smart case. Never took to it for thr forst few years, but since ipad os come about ive all but shelved my windows laptop. Ill have to give apple credit here, that notes feature is excellent, id of killed for this in highschool and uni. Though it would mean youd never learn anything. So not really great for students, but great for everyone above schooling age.
Bro I bought the new iPad and I still don’t have the calculator app!!!! I looked for updates and it says I am updated to latest software 17.7!!! How can I update???
Im doing something wrong because my pencill just dont write good and always the ipad gets the numbers or the letter wrong I cant get the equations either
I believe only newer iPads and Apple Pencil Pro models support the hover gesture. I own a 12.9-inch 5th generation iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil 2, but this gesture doesn’t work for me. To change a value on the slider, I have to tap with my finger.
I know imma bout to lean on that app too much and when the test comes there will be no mercy. Owning a business or quick calculations though it is absolutely amazing as time is everything.
I tried to use it to draw a circle, but i had to separate (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2 into two ‘y=‘ functions. Using handwriting, it worked, but using typing, only the positive part of y= worked. Could you please give some demo in this area? Also is it possible to achieve this circle graph in one function? Thanks
How do you replicate the feature where you continuously press on the equal = to repeat the mathematical function you just performed? For example if I multiply 2000 times 1.1 I should get 2200 as a result, but I want to continue to press the = so that it continuously multiplies each result by 1.1 in an endless cycle as long as I am continuously, pressing the =. You can’t do it anymore and I absolutely hate the update for it because it was the main reason I used the app. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Telling you 1st hand as a Civil Engineer and Maths notes is useless. As it crashed and stopped working at all when I was doing my work. I was doing basic maths only nothing too complex complicated I mean cause complex means the imaginary part with i in it yeah you get the point 😢😢
Just wow, I saw this release in the keynote at WWDC and it was insanely cool, but seeing it in this video really shows how well thought out this is and how much potential this has - Really amazing Brandon, Can’t wait to try this out when it releases in September!!
This is the type of real world change that most people will actually use. Will be a nice addition to the iPad and the phone. Can you do a review of the new Calendar/reminders linkages and features?
Hello @BrandonButch is iOS 18 Distraction Control only available for iPhone 15 Pro and above or for other iPhone devices also? Also will other iPhone devices be getting the Apple Intelligence features later on or will they just be left out? Thank you
@@nabinpoudelnp That’s correct, x wasn’t a free variable, but a constant x = 12. It showed the value 924 when he clicked on the equal sign. I wondered why he didn’t notice that the graph wasn’t a 3rd degree polynomial.

Have you used Math Notes yet? What do you think of it?
Too small of a display for handwritten notes on iPhones
@@liviomakesmusicyeah the math notes is naturally more designed for the iPad.
yeah, definitely not the best experience on iOS but at least Apple made it possible instead of limiting it to just iPadOS

Hey Brandon, Love your instructional videos. Thank you.. Could you please show us how to convert fractions with this new calculator app?
I upgraded to ios18 on my iPad and there is no new Calculator app like you show on my Home Screen. Where is it then?
On the first screen which had an empty space for a new app…
Changing values by hovering does not work on iPad Air 4. Is it iPad/Pencil pro only?
Man, the only thing I want to know is if this thing can do systems of equations, higher degree equations or work with complex numbers. As a student it’d be a game changer if it did.
It doesn’t
@@junk_techie😭😭😭
nope, it can only do very basic math that you could already do on a calculator lol. basically useless imo
Pretty useless except for the graph function. It can barely pass as a replacement for desmos or your graphing calculator
Not useless that can be added in future. The important thing is how accurately it reads your handwriting
Math notes blows my mind. I wish I had that when I was in school!!
perfect tutorial, but more…USEFUL than the others😪 THANK YOU

Nice video Brandon😃 good to know your tips, can't wait to have officially iOS 18 😍👌🏼, greetings from Europe - Austria 😃
What’s cool is this all works on my iPhone 12. Even though I don’t get Apple Intelligence this works. It is a bit slow to calculate but it does work.
How does hover work? I'm not seeing a slider
I'm always impressed by the quality of your videos. Very detailed review of the new maths features.

That’s just arithmetic. It has the same (or even fewer) functions that your scientific calculator has.
