iPhone 3G: Scientific calculator with a twist of the wrist

Published by debcook under technology Edit This

I am still finding new features on my iPhone. Some of those discoveries have come from suspected issues but some just happen by accident.

The little button on the side that turns the ringer on and off was a discovery that I searched for and was glad to find. Apparently some readers of the blog found my discovery helpful as well.

Just a few days ago I was using the calculator function. Nothing to special – I was just doing ordinary adding and subtracting. Someone spoke to me and I was distracted for a second or two. I looked over and while talking my hand had leaned over just a little – just enough to tilt my iPhone. I realized that when the iPhone is turned sideways while in the calculator mode the calculator becomes a scientific calculator.

This function is great for those that need a scientific calculator but I would gladly trade it for the “cut/copy/paste” function.
