What Apple did to Good Friday, Easter

[ad_1]

The latest iPhone update, is reported by Breitbart, to have deliberately removed Good Friday and Easter Sunday as holidays from users’ calendars with Apple bombarded with 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.

“The first service rep I spoke with was sorta rude and dismissive but she forwarded me to someone who has been very helpful. He had not been aware of the omission and sent a service inquiry. He phoned me back and sadly to him, informed me the response he 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. This makes absolutely no sense,” a user was reported as saying.

This development has thrown up headlines on the internet like “iPhone Calendars Mysteriously Delete Easter, Conveniently Show Obscure Non-Christian Holidays”.
