Hewlitt Packard 12C iPhone Calculator

Hewlitt Packard 15C iPhone Calculator

Those with both a fistful of money to burn on an iPhone app and deep nostalgia for retro Hewlitt Packard calculators may be a slim cohort, but if they’re out there, HP has them covered. Two vintage designs—the HP 12C financial calculator and HP 15C scientific calculator—have been carefully rendered via touchscreen, costing $15 and $30 respectively. There’s no doubt the buttons are wonderful looking, and the nerd chic aesthetic has its charms, but we would advise waiting for the price to drop a bit before replacing the iPhone’s already more than adequate built-in calculator.

  1. oh, sweet! love this. by the way, nothing retro about the 12C (although the design is quite old). it’s still the best calculator for finance that’s out there.

  2. Nerdy fact – the calculator on the iPhone is a tribute to another classic retro calculator – the Braun ET44
