What I love about the Calculator app is that it always gives the correct answer... assuming you haven't "Garbage in Garbage out" it. You'd be surprised at how many cheap and nasty calculators give the wrong answer to this simple equation: 1 + 2 * …

Going back to when Oculus Rift was the big thing and everyone was calling for Apple to develop a VR headset, I called the Vision Pro. I said that Apple would in no way make a VR headset because it doesn’t fit in with their business model. I said t…
