    Paid calculator apps.

    Not only are many of them paid - but they are subscription as well. Imagine paying a monthly fee for your goddamn calculator.

      Money laundering? Or just going kids download on devices with their parents data to go unnoticed for months at a time?

        They 100% bank on people forgetting cancelling

        Also, Apple gave iOS a default calculator just a few months ago. When I had an iPad I had to download dozens and dozens of calculators to find one that didnt have ads or subscriptions

        Edit: I meant iPad. They sold iPads without the calculator from launch until Q4 2024
