I have two iphones, both in my name. I use one and my husband the other. I want to sync our calendars, reminders and photos. I have turned on Icloud and checked those items. Sometimes they sync quickly and sometimes not. Is it required to plug the iphones into one of our computers? Any help will be appreciated.

If they share the same Apple ID they should sync in real time as long as they are connected to a data service. We have 3 iPhones, 2 iPads and 3 Macs, and all of the iCloud data syncs instantly across all of them.

You sync two, the same way you sync one.
Anything synced via the computer would need to plug into the computer and sync via iTunes.
Items synced via iCloud do not need to be plugged in to the computer.
You need to have internet connection to sync info among devices. Well, maybe it's not popular but you can also try "family sharing."
If you're usign the same Apple ID on different devices, it's possible to mix your data in future especially contacts 🙂
Well I've gone around and around with this problem. After an Apple tech told me that calendar sync wouldn't work because the two iphones were not using the same ios, I was ready to throw in the towel . . . but being stubborn I fooled around some more and got it to work (sort of). The trick was that they would sync only after a calendar entry was made on the iphone4! Then and only then would traffic flow (in either or both directions). Who knew? Thanks for your response. Fred
