Apple’s iPhone 4 might have arrived in Australia to massive queues, plenty of free coverage in the mainstream media and the sort of hype not seen perhaps since the release of Windows 95 but clearly quality control is not all it could be at Cupertino.
Not withstanding embarrassing stories about the iPhone 4’s antenna design and potential reception problems caused by the “grip of death”, a new and very annoying bug has surfaced. A flood of messages on Apple’s iPhone support forum and our own experience has revealed that the List View in the Calendar application is totally screwed.
Users are reporting that the new iPhone 4 and previous generation devices upgraded to iOS4, including the recent 4.0.1 update, randomly reorder items in the List View. The items themselves, thankfully, aren’t corrupted. They are just displayed in the wrong order.
Some solutions are showing up. Our calendar is hosted by Google and uses CalDAV to sync to the iPhone. By going into the account settings and deselecting the “Birthdays” calendars the List View is correctly refreshed. So, it would seem that one of the default calendars created by the operating system is to blame.
Although this solution remediated the problem for us, other users have not found this to be a successful solution. Users who sync with a Microsoft Exchange server are not able to resolve the problem using this method.
Not surprisingly, Apple hasn’t acknowledged or responded to this issue since the issue was first raised by Australian Mac user Sg00 on 21 June 2010. Since then, several pages of comments and questions have come up. Thankfully, the user community has found some workarounds. However, it’s important that Apple resolves what is a serious issue in a core iPhone application.
