It has been a full 14 years since the first iPad was launched, but it is only now that Apple will launch its own calculator app for iPadOS, if we are to believe recent rumours.
Yes, surprisingly, there is not a standard calculator app from Apple on the iPad, even though both the iPhone and the Macs have it built-in.

Because until now, iPad users have had to download calculators from the App Store – many of them filled with ads – or use the browser to calculate on the iPad, but soon that time may be over.
According to sources that the website MacRumors has spoken to, iPadOS 18, which will probably be unveiled during the WWDC fair in June, will be launched with a built-in calculator.
So over a decade after the first iPad came on the market.
When asked by YouTuber Marques Brownlee in 2020, Craig Federighi, head of software at Apple, replied that the company had simply not gotten there with launching a good calculator app, but that creating one was not out of the question.
The wait may soon be over.
