No, what I’m explaining to you is the facts behind what every calculator with any modicum of computing power will tell you, namely that 2(2+2) is identical to 2×(2+2).
Yeah, kind of. The crappier calculator is the one generating the incorrect answer. Any calculator with any real level of oomph behind it can parse this correctly to get the correct answer, 16.
The good calculator is the one using the processing power of the phone to handle the programming necessary to correctly interpret the order of operations and arrive at the correct answer, whereas the bad calculator - despite having no ads - is a cheap piece of trash unable to contain the necessary computational logic to arrive at the correct answer.
No need. The fact that you’re incapable of comprehending it at this point indicates that any further attempts to explain it to you are equally likely to fall on deaf ears.
And you’ve long since given up trying to defend your incorrect position, so I can only assume that you’re childishly continuing in an attempt to get the last word. That’s fine, go right ahead and have the last word, I won’t reply further since it’s that important to you.

Which would be the app written by the programmer who didn’t check his Maths was correct, as opposed to the calculator made by a company who, you know, makes calculators.

ah yes it’s the computing power that’s at issue here

Dude take it from someone with a maths degree. You’re entirely wrong and the answer is 1, being confidently incorrect is a bad look.
The first thing you do is resolve terms and 2(2+2) is one term and should be resolved first.
The answer is categorically not 16. It’s not a debate, it’s a question with a right answer, and yours isn’t it.
2(2+2) absolutely is an equivalent of 2x, where x=2+2
