iOS 11.2 is here: Apple's calculator calculates correctly again
Apple released the latest beta version for iOS 11 yesterday. This fixes a few bugs, including the incorrectly calculating calculator. There are also new wallpapers and hints for the upcoming one AirPlay 2-Support.
Currently, a small but still big bug in Apple's calculator is causing a stir. If a user quickly types the calculation 1 + 2 + 3, the calculator fails miserably. As a result, the number 6 does not appear as hoped, but 24. An animation was to blame. The bug is supposed to be loud G, even on iOS 9 reprobe duducible.
Apple calculator bug: Animation was that Problem
The group has fixed the bug in the latest public beta iOS 11.2. The reason for this is said to have been an incorrectly calibrated animation in the app. If the typing sequence was quick, the computer should have simply swallowed some entries and thus got the wrong result. Calculations like 4 + 5 + 6 also gave the result 60 when entered quickly. The error was only known in iOS 11, but should also be reproducible in previous iOS versions.
iOS 11.2 Beta: new wallpapers, AirPlay 2 and SiriKit
With the latest beta there are a few other innovations in addition to the computer fix. Among other things, the exclusive iPhone 11.2 and iPhone 8 Plus wallpapers are now available to every iOS 8 user. As reported by 9to5Mac, the beta also provides information for the upcoming AirPlay 2 integration in iOS 11.
In addition, the recently released Apple HomePod now has the new SiriKit. This should be able to process requests made via the loudspeaker on the iPhone. In practice, you could ask Siri via the AirPod to send a WhatsApp message - this command is passed on to the connected iPhone and forwarded there.
The new iOS 11.2 beta is now available to all beta testers on the iPhone. The public version for the general public will only follow in the coming weeks.
I also had the bug, but as mentioned in your article 1 + 2 + 3 is not 5, but 6 😛
Did you type that into the Apple calculator? ??
Hello Thomas! That's right, the result is of course 6 😉
Fixed it in the article.
Best regards,

Anyway, I had to ask him what kind of interesting calculation rule that is so that the calculation comes out 5 instead of 6 😉
