In an earlier post I said that I didn’t like the way the iPhone scientific calculator handles the scientific notation (EE) key. That bug seemed to be mainly a stylistic matter—the calculator display treats the mantissa and the exponent as separate numbers rather than as two parts of the same number. Yesterday I found a [...]

iPhone’s Calculator Pi Button Issues
Touch Podium —
... TUAW reader recently tipped about the issue, showing that when you type π × 2 + 5 = into the calculator you get 11.283… (the correct answer). However, when you reverse the pi and 2, entering 2 × π + 5, the answer given is 7.
What’s odd about this is that if you enter in pi manually (which is 3.1415926..), instead of simply hitting the pi button, you will get the correct answer for the two equations above, either way.
Have a read about the bug here.
