2. Scientific Calculator

Apart from simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, iPhone’s Calculator has got so much more for you to discover. It even has a scientific calculator for your geeky needs. Simply rotate your screen to landscape and the scientific calculator will appear. Say goodbye to Casio!

3. Copy last result

You can copy the last calculation you made without even opening the Calculator app. To do this, simply tap and hold on the Calculator app icon and an option to copy the last result will pop up.

4. Backspace option

If you’re doing lengthy calculations and entered a number wrong, you don’t need to erase and start over again. Instead, the app lets you delete the typed characters, letting you keep the rest of the calculations intact. Simply swipe left at the top of the screen to delete the typed characters.
