Here\u2019s how to use it.<\/p>\n<p>First, open the \u201cCalculator\u201d app. If you can\u2019t find it, swipe downward with one finger in the middle of the screen to see a search bar. Type \u201ccalc\u201d and select the \u201cCalculator\u201d app icon when it appears.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-707150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/spotlight_launch_calculator.jpg\" alt=\"Open Spotlight search on iPhone, type &quot;calc,&quot; then tap the Calculator app icon.\" width=\"650\" height=\"346\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Once Calculator opens, you\u2019ll probably see a screen like this. It\u2019s a simple interface with a grid of numbers and basic mathematical operators. Hardly scientific at all!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-707147\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/calc_vertical.jpg\" alt=\"The iPhone Calculator app in a vertical orientation, showing normal mode.\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>To enter scientific calculator mode, rotate your iPhone 90 degrees until it is in landscape orientation. The Calculator app will automatically adjust to fit the wide orientation of the screen, and new scientific calculator buttons will be added to the display.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-707148\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/calculator_horizontal_example.jpg\" alt=\"The iPhone Calculator app in a horizontal orientation, showing scientific mode.\" width=\"650\" height=\"392\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If your calculator doesn\u2019t change into scientific mode when you rotate your iPhone, then it\u2019s likely that you have orientation lock enabled. To disable it, pull up Control Center and tap the orientation lock icon until it is no longer highlit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-707149\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/disable_orientation_lock.jpg\" alt=\"On iPhone, open Control Center and disable orientation lock.\" width=\"650\" height=\"480\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Once orientation lock is turned off, rotate your iPhone again while running the Calculator app, and you\u2019ll see the scientific mode in all its widescreen glory. A brave new world of more complex math has now opened up to you.
