iOS 15.1 Calendar app is laggy and unreliable

iOS 15.1.1 is only available for iPhone and iPhone 13 models.

iOS 15.1.1 improves call drop performance on iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models. 

which basically means that you’ll have less dropped calls, and you’ll have better experiences with the phone app.

don’t worry about it, your iPhone 6s is still supported, and should continue getting updates until the release of iOS 16, assuming I understand correctly.

Can confirm the same issue. It’s really painful and untrustworthy at this stage which is quite annoying. My work requires to only use the iOS calendar app so switching to another app is not an option.

Adding to the list. Not sure that Apple reads each of the postings, but maybe they'll look at it if enough people show it as an issue (i.e. numbers driven decisions). May have to consider going back to an old phone since I can't rely on the calendars.

I have this same issue. The calendar seems to lag when going to a specific date and it also jumps around to different dates. Also it lags when trying to scroll through dates. This started recent as this didn't happen before. Using the calendar now, is very painful.

I’ve had the same problem since updating to iOS 15.1 and it affects both my iPhone and my iPad. Actually, the problem is getting worse by the day. As of today, I cannot use the calendar app at all. When I open it, it takes anywhere between 5 to 10 seconds to show something, if anything. In many cases the app shuts down by itself. In other, the majority of the cases, the app opens but I cannot manipulate it (change days, open events, create events, etc.). It is a pain in the neck…

It’s a total joke. Apple arrogance !! They are fully aware and dragging their feet whilst many of us are screwed because of their poor testing and release mgmt of upgrades. Bunch of twats

i have had 3 apple engineers on the phone and non of them have a clue.

does anyone know how we can get this escalated to the public domain which should damage apples reputation for their lack of professionalism. ??

I agree. It is getting worse. Up until yesterday my iPad calendar was reliable, but mo longer. And there’s a lag everywhere, even when just opening apps. Some of my apps no longer support full function, like Stock Pro Tracker.

I tend to stick to Samsung, partially because apple doesn’t listen/ care, and partly because I just like how Samsung looks and works. There are also MANY features that iPhones don’t have, like reverse wireless charging for example. You can place two Samsung phones together, and the one on the bottom will charge the one on top. (Samsung Galaxy S10 or newer)

the calendar app on my iPad mini (my first, and last apple device) is working fine.

BUT,I don’t have anything in the calendar, which may, or may not make a difference. I’m on the latest version of iOS just like you other guys, and everything is good. (Or, the best that you can get from apple, which isn’t all that good.) I will always be a Samsung guy.

I have had the same issue on 11 pro since any release of iOS 15

as a business user it is making the phone unusable. If not fixed quickly I will have to switch to a device that is reliable.

i can’t bring myself to say the name but you know what I mean.

I'm with you on that. Apple has always seemed to have good support, and cared about what their customers want. But it’s starting to seem like they truly don’t care. I’ve contacted apple support a couple times, and also left feedback for a couple things throughout the 2 years I’ve had my iPad.

another thing I’ve noticed is:

apple does have people who monitor this, and they see all the complaints. And for the most part, what do they do? Nothing.

I am definitely a Samsung guy, and I urge all of you to try that too. Because Samsung cares!

one of the things they said was that in the newest operating system they released, (One UI 4, based on android 12) they said that most of the changes that were made, were changes that were suggested by the users.

I understand that completely. I don’t expect a response, unless that response is taking action and fixing the problem. Apple has built up a name for themselves in the world of support, and even when you post feedback, or contact support, they really don’t care.

this isn’t the first time a long thread has been made just criticizing apple for HORRID support, and not caring about their customers. That thread was over 200 pages long. Apple supervised it all the way through, and yet never took action to fix it. I will say it again, and again: Samsung makes the best phones and tablets, and they listen to complaints.

Yes,I understand that…I have tried feedback, I have tried support as well. It’s not like it’s their job to fix it, but I feel like this could be reported to someone higher up, or they could find some way to make it happen. Don’t get me wrong, apple has good products,with (mostly) good support. But I get what you’re saying, and that’s totally true, but they also don’t listen when you place feedback, or have a problem.

Its good that you try to stand up for apple. I just don’t feel like they’re trying I fix the issues here. While, as you mentioned, it isn’t the job of the people who monitor these forums, I feel like they could pass info on, or get just a couple guys who have a dedicated job of passing the complaints on.

I am quite convinced Apple is aware of the issue and for quite sure they work on a fix, like they have to fix many other issues.

I can also imagine this Calendar issue is not considered a critical bug, hence the release of a fix will take some time, lets trust that they thoroughly test the fix, which takes time.

Sure, but this was more than just deleting the calendar app (which I had done before on my iPad and my iPhone without much sucess). This process is a bit more cumbersome; it takes about 1 hour from start to finish...

I suspect you're correct in that this is not considered a critical bug, especially as it doesn't seem especially widespread. For the end-user, those are some of the most frustrating. I don't have this issue but I sympathize with those who do.
