Tell Apple here:


Feedback - iPhone - Apple


Be specific about what you like and what you don't; if you just say it's "horrible" or a "nightmare" that's not constructive and so nothing can be done with that.


Say what you would like it to look like or how you want it to operate.


No one here can do anything about it.

I don’t mind change at all but this is a change for the worse as far as I’m concerned. For me personally. In the previous version I could see how my day looked at a glance and how long each appointment was, so I could see in an instant where to fit other appointments in, in the format I have to read every entry and work it out. It’s nit as efficient when I’m booking people in on the phone.


’People’ like efficiency.

I know a lot of people complained about the “never ending scroll wheel” on the old version. This got rid of that and now for me it’s a lot quicker to enter things for dates in the future. My wife hates change more than anyone I know and she even prefers this method.

I really like the new method. I find it far easier than scrolling.

Agree with everyone else- this calendar update is an EPIC FAIL! I use my calendar for everything, and this new time format is the most ridiculous thing I’m ever seen! You can barely get the hour and minutes right, and just when you think you do- it’s scrolls up or down because the window is tiny and hyper-sensitive to touch!?????!!!!! Please return to the old format, this will make me quit this phone.

Why are you posting links that are useless for the fixing the issue people are complaining about?

It’s rude to post knowingly useless links. I don’t get it. Apple users are usually helpful, not deliberately misleading. Is that why your avatar is stormtrooper?

Don’t pretend to know the answer or a fix when you don’t.

I (not anypats) have posted the link to the feedback page several times. Is that what you're upset about? Why? No one here can effect the change you're asking for. There is nothing rude or misleading about giving you the directions to tell Apple (the only ones who can make the change) how you feel. In my world, we call it "useful advice".


You're welcome.

The new calendar is the most confusing thing in the world. What were your people thinking. I actually have to study the calendar to make sure I'm looking at the right day. Instead of messing with the calendar, why don't they spend their time working on a way to go back to the previous system. This is a time when going backward would be a good thing to save us from mistakes like this.
