Is it still appropriate to compare internal precisions this way ?

Even if 12C had a million digits precision, due to rounding-back-to-10 digits, it still require 11 iterations.

?!?

The 12C is a 10-digit calculator with a 10-digit display.
The 12C Platinum is a 12-digit calculator with a 10-digit display.

The 12C Platinum does not round back to 10 digits.
Its just the display that cannot show more than 10 digits.
