About iPhone Ultra - I still don’t think that’s a thing, given that there is no fifth iPhone in the 16 range, no D95 or anything similar as far as I’m aware.

Confirms the Apple Account name change I revealed months ago.
Weird that they included this ahead of WWDC though.
Apple has released a major update (3.0) for their "Schoolwork" iPad app. Interestingly, it replaces all mentions of Apple ID with Apple Account.

Everything about the new GreyParrot Calculator for iPad and Mac.
Fun fact: The original version was actually created in September of 2023 - so they spent quite a lot of time on this thing.
Apple's native Calculator app is finally available on iPad in iPadOS 18, and with it come new UI elements and support for mathematical notation through the Math Notes feature.
