18.1 has the “fix my handwriting” stuff.
Works in notes with the 18.0 release for me?

oh! i thought that was in the A.I. bundle coming later. I never tried it with 18.0 since I have 18.1 on my ipad.Works in notes with the 18.0 release for me?
I've had that happen, the letdown is real.Bad Verizon.
They got me. Had to go to Phoenix today and the wife called and told me I had a box from Verizon. Got all excited because I have gotten a phone ordered from the carrier before the actual release date before.
Nope, just the new case. That I only had to buy because they changed the dimensions by a fraction of a MM.
That’s a brilliant idea!I've mapped the side button to do not disturb and it's been the greatest thing since sliced bread to me. Overall this has been a really decent upgrade by Apple IMO.
RPN ship has largely sailed. I’m a huge RPN guy - I have a closet full of HP 28s and 48s that got me through engineering school. I got one when I interviewed for the PA RISC team and was the happiest guy ever just to get another calculator. But RPN is an afterthought even on the HP Prime.iPadOS: the new calculator – meh. I have not tried the handwriting part yet. But I am disappointed that they could not be arsed to include RPN. How hard is that, come on.
At this point your best bet is running an HP emulator on iPhone, probably. (it’s what I do).
i also use pcalc on occasion, but it’s a different flavor of RPN than HP, so it always feels a bit off to me.Pcalc, a $10 RPN calc app, has a pretty sweet (and very configurable) RPN calculator for iPhone. Been using it for many years.
Works on iPad as well - but taking up the whole screen, it's huge.
Also... Apple's calc on iPhone switches to RPN automatically when the phone is held horizontally.

Also, rotating iphone switches to scientific mode, but i haven’t seen any RPN support?
it also has chess. mac has a lot of stuff that wouldn’t be there if they introduced it today,The built-in macOS calculator has a RPN mode.
Was going to mention SwissMicro and you beat me to it. I don't have any experience with their products but have heard that they're good. They use an Arm microcontroller running open source HP emulation, so they behave exactly like a real HP RPN.it also has chess. mac has a lot of stuff that wouldn’t be there if they introduced it today,
I just checked the hp museum forums, and looks like we’re down to very few RPN calculators still being manufactured. A couple HPs, and some swiss micro clones, mostly.
I blame textbook companies for all this. My kid has to use a TI-84 because that’s what they teach, and the teachers only know how to use those. An entire generation growing up not quite understanding order-of-operations…Was going to mention SwissMicro and you beat me to it.

The problem with them is they're a tiny company in Switzerland, so you're gonna pay a hefty price for a modern HP 42/41/1x series, and I remember them having supply issues for a while too. They might get me as a customer if they ever do the HP48.
