As this is one of the most important apps for me on my phone I wanted to make a separate thread to discuss all Calendar app changes in iOS 18 and where there is room for improvement.
First up, the month view has had a major overhaul:
You can now choose Compact, which is the old view but with coloured dots this time:
Or choose Stacked, which basically shows coloured lines / placeholders:
Or the much awaited Details, which shows the actual event descriptions:
And obviously the List is also still available:
A very handy cool hidden little feature is that pinch-to-zooming the month view will actually give you the ability to create a 4 week, 3 week or even 2 week view:
Also the Day view looks a little bit different, but not much seems to be functionally changed (I would love for it to be possible to scroll to the next day by scrolling past 12 o'clock midnight, instead of using the day ticker on top):
It's also now possible to add Reminders directly from the New button:
Also editing a Reminder will give you the actual Reminders editing screen directly in the Calendar app:
And obviously closing a Reminder is possible directly in the Calendars app:
I think this is a really great update to the Calendars app! Only thing I would want is infinite vertical scrolling in the Day view and not stopping at midnight. Seems like a small update, I will keep hope
If anyone finds any other changes in B1 or upcoming Betas, feel free to post them here!
Thanks to Brandon Butch for his great YouTube explainer (and 120+ more iOS18 features):
EDIT: Thanks to @pohsyb and @coffeeplease for another one, a 2-day view, definitely my new favourite as it shows in detail everything of today and what is coming up the next day.
There is also a simple form of natural language input:
