I don’t use my iPhone calendar but I use Things 3 everyday as my go to tool
ios17 is allowing is a clock in USA and Apple calendar.
so far cannot see the point of standby mode I may as well just leave the screen on.
Is any thought given to alleged upgrades
iPhone 6, iOS 12

It sounds like you're using the "City" clock widget. Go into the editing mode, tap on the clock widget and it will flip over. You can then type in your preferred city. Or, switch to a different clock widget entirely.
As far as the calendar goes, it's just a calendar. If the app you prefer has a standby widget, use that. Or, delete the calendar widget entirely and put something else there (Weather? Photos?)
So for me so far I cannot see what the new version brings to me but like all things I am sure a workaround will come along at some point
It sounds as if Standby is working exactly as designed on your device. If you have suggestions for Apple to make it better, use the feedback portal:

They have. Looking into discussions further it appears unless I go out and buy another phone so ie upgrade most of the updates are not going to work fully on my iPhone.
Somewhat reluctant to buy a new phone when there is nothing wrong with my iPhone 13
Like many of these upgrades they are dreamt up by people who don’t actually understand real world settings

Keep in mind this is a brand new feature and app developers, may not have updates for their apps ready for Standby Mode. It's up to the add developers of 3rd party applications to update their apps. It's not up to Apple as they don't own Things 3. Of course Things 3 may never bring something to Standby Mode at all, but it's still up to them.
It is up to the app developers to create widgets for Standby Mode. I suggest that you let Things 3 know what you'd like to see.
Given that Standby Mode works fine (other than AOD) on my iPhone 11, I don't understand why it wouldn't work on your iPhone 13.
Thank you that is what I was looking for in a response
I had same problem. When in standby mode swipe the calendar up or down to change what in displayed. One swipe, I don’t remember which way will give temperature, local in my case.
Using iPhone 15 Pro + latest software my phone goes off several times during the night. Comes back with a tap on the screen. Any suggestions please?
Standby mode will only show calendar and clock
