Haha, that was the weirdest thing, when I first realized that a calculator is missing

  It's ridiculous. This is their reason for not having a calculator app: > “There’s some things that we have not done because we would want to do something really distinctly great in that space,” the Apple VP explained. “We want to do it when we can do it really, really well. And we honestly just haven’t gotten around to doing it great.” Wtf. The UX of a calculator doesn't need to be reinvented. I just need a freaking calculator on my device that I can use. I'd rather have something.

    Just download one? What's the problem with that? For simple calculations you can use home screen search.

      There aren't that many, largely because of App Store policies which make it a risky thing to try. Apple doesn't allow apps which reproduce built-in functionality, so it'd have to be an iPad-only calculator. And if you do anything innovative, apple will rip you off and then remove your app from the store when they release theirs. And they've been saying it's going to be released any day now for the past 12 years. So why bother?

        Just checked. There are 40+ calculator apps. Use one of those?
