    Yes, the pity is that so many in North America just don't know what the heck you mean when you say "standard time". They only know the term "daylight savings time".

     

    This is all consistent with the arrogance of Apple Inc. programmers who think the whole world observes DST on the same days the USA does. Just like they think they can decide everything else, like taking away the ability to direct-sync calendars between Mavericks and iOS7, requiring iCloud.  And many other features they've removed from iWork for Mavericks.  :(

    Americans know the difference, at least.

    Come off it. This is obviously a bug.

    Leap year at least makes sense.

    Oh, that wasn’t all of it. Just a taste.

     

    Interestingly enough, I like leap years. Sort of wish my birthday was February 29. :p

     


     

    Why, 'cuz technically you'd be 20 rather than 80 right now? <img class=" src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />

    No. iOS 7 is keeping you punctual.

    Is there anything it CAN'T do??

    I love iOS 7.

    What the **** does "direct sync" calendars mean? Any half decent syncing solution these days is cloud based. And yeah, Apple "decides" stuff, the products they make require millions of decisions, and then you can make a decision to buy/use those products or not. It has nothing to do with "arrogance". It's making the product they want to make- like every other company on earth. What a novel concept.

    Not if they were scheduled by people in the US or other places that have not shifted yet. Check your calendar on your computer though to make sure you were scheduling things in the right time zone.

    FWIW I am not seeing this bug on my iPad mini or my iPhone and we shifted time yesterday. I'm on 7.0.3 and don't leave my apps running. Wonder if it is just people that left calendar backgrounded during the change.

    That's completely opposite. DST is because people stay awake at night more than they do in the day, so you shift the clock so you get more daylight. People stay up till say midnight, which is sunset + ~6 hours. You don't wake up at sunrise - 6 hours = ~1 AM.

     

    Farmers dislike DST because their day is set by the sun, not the clock. I guess people like to bash farmers as hicks when they don't know what they're talking about.


     

     

    I must admit I had always laboured under the (incorrect) assumption that DST in the UK was because of Scottish farmers that are scared of the dark.

     

    I was wrong

    I am in the UK and we ended BST (British Summer Time) on Sunday. The calendar on my iPhone is working properly: It is 8:00 am on Monday and the red line is correctly at 8:00 am. I have an alarm set for 7:00 am and that went off at exactly 7:00 am. So no problems here. Can someone find out what is causing this glitch for some, but not all iOS users? Perhaps the cause is that some do not have Time Zone support turned on? (I have Time Zone Support turned on and set to London).

    Works fine for me on iOS6.
    Daylight 'saving' time has caused problems for all OSes from the dawn of Unix till now.
    The best solution would be to get rid of daylight 'saving' altogether.

    The comment before you says it fixed itself at 0:00 Monday. That would explain why I didn't see it this morning as well.

    No problem whatsoever here. Traveled from the UK to Netherlands yesterday and my Calendar app is working just fine, with the line where it's supposed to be. Maybe it's not a widespread error.

    I'm in the UK, all devices (iPhone 5S, 5, 5, 4S, iPad 2,3,4,mini) all show the correct time on the calendar line and position. All devices configured for auto set time zone etc.

    Don't know if they were showing this correct yesterday, if they were not then they are now though.

    In the USA and I assume Canada by your post, we are a week different from Europe. It's easy to check facts before assuming an article is incorrect.

    So...we'll have the same problem here in the States next weekend, unless Apple fixes this by then. I better set a seperate alarm clock for next Monday so I'm not late for work, just in case.

    @skippingrock : or maybe you misunderstand the nature of the planet. Let me give you a hint: if it's got 50 states and 16 territories, it's not "The Earth".
