Using Notes Instead of Calculator
Apple is notorious for building incredible functionality into their software and then... never telling a soul. Here's a fun one we found out recently. Some ways we've made it work:
Typing (or writing with the handwriting tool) an equation, ending it with an equals sign to get the result
Writing a stack of numbers, then drawing a line below the numbers with a +/-/x/÷ symbol to the left of each digit
It also looks like per the linked article you can create graphs?? This app knows no bounds

Apple Notes

“How do I love thee, Apple Notes? Let me count the ways. Pinned. Tagged. Smart-Foldered. Back-Linked. Synched. Shared. iClouded. The list goes on! I might have to teach a class for all my note-takers and list-makers on the many unsung features of this seemingly basic app!”

“Whoa. So Apple Notes can also act like a (cleaner, more aesthetic) Excel *and* a graphing calculator? Life changed.”

“This hasn't really been updated in over a year but is still very good. I still reference it from time to time. It's not the most well laid out guide and there's still a lot of TBD videos that the author never put in but they're easily found on google. Obviously best set up on a Mac or iPad + keyboard rather than just an iPhone.”
