Although Apple‘s Mac calculator does a great job for its intended use, macOS 15 is apparently bringing significant improvements to the device that will transform it into a hybrid note-taking and currency-converting software. First off, according to AppleInsider, the calculator’s design will be changed, replacing its number boxes with circular buttons. It is even said that you will be able to adjust the calculator’s size. The circular buttons become stretched and take on a pill-like shape when the calculator gets larger; however, they return to their previous shape when it gets smaller.
A new history tape that you can access with the click of a button will show you previous calculations, so you no longer have to note them down if you’re working with a lot of data and need to see a trend or keep track of what information you’ve processed so far. You’ll be able to see the bar whatever mode the calculator is in, even if it’s in scientific or programmer mode and not just in basic. The updated app will apparently come with Notes integration, as well, allowing you to more easily create notes with mathematical notation like you could on competing products like Microsoft‘s OneNote. Finally, the new calculator will make it easier to work with numbers in different currencies by incorporating the conversion tool into its user interface. You no longer have to access the tool via the drop-down menu every time you want to see how much a certain amount is in another currency.
Apple is anticipated to unveil these and additional features for iOS 18 and macOS 15 at Apple’s Worldwide Developers’ Conference, which is scheduled for June of this year, according to AppleInsider.
