Q: how to see list of all scheduled events in calendar

Make sure you are viewing a single day in your calendar, rather than an entire month.  Then tap the list icon (see below) and scroll through your events.

I guess I don't understand what you're looking for.  If you switch to list view you can scroll through ALL your events, both past and future, as far as you want.

I understand exactly what edwardfromma is talking about. He wants a simple chronological list of ALL events in calendar NOT in the context of the calendar view. This is a very useful feature that almost every other calendar app has. Usability of Apple IOS seems to be degrading.
