Useful upgrades that make every day easier
SOME OF OUR favorite new features in iPadOS 18 aren’t necessarily headline–grabbing ones, but they’re still improvements that make every day better.
For example, with iPadOS 18, Apple has finally brought the Calendar and Reminders apps together, turning them into a powerful productivity tool, whether you’re herding kids or managing projects. Being able to see your day and to–dos in a single app rather than needing two is a big time saver.
Smarter sums
The Calculator app introduces a new feature called Maths Notes, and it’s at its best on the iPad. That’s because it enables you to use the Apple Pencil. Simply draw your equation on screen, and your iPad will solve it, whether that’s a simple sum or something considerably more complex. The same feature is also available via the Notes app. Moreover, Calculator now does unit conversions for weight, distance, and volume.
