Using the built-in "computer" app on the iPhone as a portable computing tool must be a good tool for everyone's daily life, but it is very strange that Apple provides computer apps on the iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch, but the iPad tablet does not have it, so this matter has always been a hot topic of discussion among Apple iPad users, and has even become an Internet meme. However, there are already rumors that Apple seems to be finally adding the iPad to the computer!
Is Apple going to add the iPad to the computer?
Over the years, there have been many online rumors about why Apple didn't let the iPad be added to the computer app, and some analysts believe that Apple may have deliberately wanted users to explore other computer tools in the App Store to make the iPad There are more options for computer tools to enrich the ecosystem, and there are also arguments that Apple is waiting for the right time to launch their built-in computers that can be as functional and designed as they want, and now seems to be the time.
Now, according to foreign media reports, Apple is finally going to add computer apps to the iPad, and if nothing else, we will see it at the WWDC event in June.
However, the report did not clearly state its actual functions and changes, but foreign media believe that it should be close to the rumored adjustment changes of macOS computers, and the following are the new changes currently rumored for macOS 15 computers:
-
New Design:
There will be a new look and feel more modern, with rounded corners and a darker black tone for the buttons and interface, similar to the computer on the iPhone.

-
The viewport can be resized
Users can adjust the size of the computer by themselves, and after resizing, the keys will also become larger and smaller to match the display effect.
-
Support math memo function
It is expected that "Math Notes" will be developed, which will integrate a computer app and a memo app, allowing users to record the calculation process and results directly in the memo when calculating mathematics.
-
The ability to upgrade history
Users can directly view the previous calculation records on the sidebar of the computer, so that users can easily check the past calculation data.

summary
Although it is uncertain whether Apple will eventually add the built-in "computer" app function to the iPad, and when it does, whether its functions and design will be as rumored, it will be an extension of the concept of the iPhone computer, adding more features suitable for larger screens, making it easier for iPad users to use, and there will be more ecosystem app connections, all of which will not be known until the WWDC event in June at the earliest.
However, for iPad users, there is no need to download additional third-party apps, and there are computer tools built in, which should be something that many iPad users are looking forward to.
