Stephen Heaps<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Is the iOS 11 Calculator slow for anyone else? Do button anims need to complete now? 1+2+3+4 at this speed should work fine…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1+2+3+4 = 28?<\/p>\n

It’s the + after the 2 isn’t hit. But it should<\/em> be hit. Look how slow I’m tapping!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Dave Peck<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Here’s a fun one: open the iOS 11 calculator. Rapidly type 1 + 2 + 3. Odds are you won’t get 6…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Javier Soto<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Apple software is buggy, but surely the iOS calculator can still do 1+2+3 correctly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Mike Rundle<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Calculator in iOS 11 has such a long animation (and blocks all other touches) that it’s unusable. Burn it down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

I hadn’t seen this bug before, probably because I use PCalc<\/a>, but I was easily able to reproduce it, even with Reduce Motion on.<\/p>\n\n

Update (2017-10-24): Marco Scheurer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

First (only?) default app coded in Swift and “Swift code is safe by design, yet also produces software that runs lightning-fast”. The irony.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Dave Mark<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

When you hit the plus sign for the second time, the calculator app goes into some odd state. Not sure if this is intentional, or a bug, but either way, this is not what you’d expect.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Chris Espinosa<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In case you’re tempted to write a Radar on this, 70+ people have beaten you to it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Update (2017-10-25): Rosyna Keller<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The interesting part is that this is a very old bug. Just now getting news.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Peter Maurer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

This made me realize that bug marketing is a thing. If you want an annoying, but fairly inconsequential bug fixed, find a way to make it go viral.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Update (2017-10-29): Nacho Soto<\/a> is seeing a similar bug on macOS 10.13.<\/p>\n\n

Update (2017-10-30): Juli Clover<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The new iOS 11.2 beta, released to developers this morning, addresses a Calculator animation issue that’s been present since iOS 11 was released to the public in September and throughout the iOS 11 beta testing process.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Update (2017-12-02): Rob Griffiths<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Calculator bug persists in iOS 11.2. It’s not as bad as it was before, but it’s definitely still there. You don’t even have to tap super fast; I can make it happen whether I’m using two fingers or one. As long as a couple of button taps are within a reasonably-quick amount of time, you’ll get the wrong answer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Update (2018-01-31): Benjamin Mayo<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

In iOS 11.3, the Calculator works when typing quickly AND the fade animation on the buttons is back. Happy that they went back and did it properly after the quick-fix in 11.2 where they got rid of the animation altogether.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
