The Time Zones

Third and last, is there any settings in the Settings app that can change my phone to the UK settings without erasing any set data in my iPhone? Simply put, can I make my iPhone change its region, iTunes/Apps Store, time, everything into the UK settings?

I know this has been a huge mouthful, but thanks in advance even if you are not able to answer all of them. Thanks so much!

• Settings >general> language and region you can change to UK there it will change the language and region formats (no data will be lost, phone will restart though)
• Settings> general> date and time> you can change your time zone here it should also change automatically when you go to the UK
• Settings>General> keyboard> you can add the UK keyboard here
• See this Apple support article to change your Apple ID region: Change your iTunes Store country or region - Apple Support
• Here is an Apple article explaining time zone override: Change Time Zone Override for Calendar on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch - Apple Support

I don't really know the answers to your other questions. I think that the reminder and calendar times will change with the region. You may want to try installing third party calendar and reminder apps from the app store if you can find some that don't sync and see if you can keep the time zones different. I'm sure others will also have input to share.

Related question to Duncan's:

I don't want ios/osx messing around with the times of calendar appointments, as I know perfectly well what time zone I will be in. To set this up, I set a fixed time zone in Date & Time on all mobile devices; time zone override in calendar seems to be off by default. Chaos has ensued. I've just got back from a trip across just one time zone, and my meeting times have been shifted by 12 hours, sometimes now showing up on the wrong day. When I enter a time into my calendar (always in the time zone where the meeting will take place) can I set ios/osx just to leave it alone?
