A 2 year old should not be watching TV and playing video games.
Says you. There's certainly value that TV or video games can give young children.
And some people meet their best friends through their heroin dealer.

What is your criteria for a "true responsive site" and can you point to a good resource describing implementation details? Asking for a friend :)
Honestly, just using the basics of "responsive web design" (search phrase) is most of it. That is, implementing your site using CSS media queries to adapt your layout across multiple device sizes. Contrast that to using hacky device detection to deliver some entirely separate and "mobile-specific" site. One anti-pattern that often happens is the "mobile" detection is wrong, and delivers some phone-sized UI to a table…
Thanks, looking at a few CSS frameworks I think I've been confused that they seem to have coarse resolution break values and I thought this was an anti-pattern ("don't detect mobile with a hard-wired resolution"). Maybe my mistake is to confuse resolution (after all modern phones often have equivalent resolution as many desktops) with width, so mobile is portrait, desktop often landscape. Instead of a mobile type presentation and a desktop type presentation just go with say one column if <600px or something, two columns if more and not worry if it's a mobile device. Maybe that's what the CSS frameworks are actually doing.

#333Will iPadOS include a calculator app?
Maybe it will include a graphing calculator... Unbelievable sneaky 2004 Apple story: Engineers would come to our offices at midnight and practically slip machines under the door. One said, "Officially, this machine doesn't exist, you didn't get it from me, and I don't know you. Make sure it doesn't leave the building." https://www.pacifict.com/Story/
Not 2004, 1994!

I don't think it's bold at all to say one _might_ be, as I purposefully did. I'd think that'd be pretty obvious, actually.
My point is that 'it costs money' is sadly not a way to gauge good calculators on ios, and a lot of the 'costs money' ones don't even have a free option to test/check-the-precision.
Note that I never said cost was a way to gauge good calculators. I was merely answering the question of why one might pay for a calculator app instead of using one of the many free ones. Again, this is why I very deliberately said "might" in all of my statements. By saying "might", I'm also implying "might not"...

I'm hoping for this. If you have little kids in your house you cannot safely use the iPad Mail client, for example
Apple's solution to this is "buy another device". I would be very surprised if we ever see a multi-user mode for iOS.
They already have one, but it's for schools only:

#336Will iPadOS include a calculator app?
Can someone recommend a good programmer's calculator for the iPad? If I'm going to buy a calculator app, I might as well get a good one. Bonus if it can do time calculators. (I used to have a physical time calculator that could do 15 hours + 3 hours, 21 minutes = x minutes, and it was surprisingly useful=.)
I stumbled on to GraphNCalc83 recently. It simulates a TI-83. Works brilliantly. Only thing it's missing is Z80 asm. :-)

The iPod touch and iPad were not released when iOS was called iPhone OS.
The iPod touch launched 2 months after the original iPhone launched, and they both ran iPhone OS. Why are you so stubborn over something that can be easily searched and debunked? iPhone OS existed until iPhone OS 3.2.2 when it was renamed to iOS in iOS 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history
