IPHONE CALENDARS MYSTERIOUSLY DELETE EASTER

The latest iPhone update, as reported by The York times, to have deliberately removed Good Friday and Easter Sunday as holidays from users’ calendars. This followed by series of bombarded complaints over this change.

Easter Sunday shows up on calendars for iPhone users running versions 11.2.2 of Apple’s iOS operating system, but not some users of 11.2.5, which is the latest version of the OS.

The default setting on iOS devices is for U.S. holidays, which shows holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Independence Day. However, there is an option to add Alternate Calendars, including Chinese, Hebrew and Islamic. But Christian is absent from this list on iOS 11.2.5.

According to the report efforts to speak with a representative was dismissed.  A service enquiry was made and the response received was,

“The calendar is as it should be and Apple decided to omit Good Friday and Easter from the US Holiday Calendar which is supplied on its products."
