Apple fans will say you either love or hate iOS 8. It has better third-party app integration, amazing new hubs like Apple Pay (for those in the U.S., anyway), and HealthKit. It’s coincidentally also one of the worst versions for bugs and no one expects the problems to be fixed anytime soon. Now there’s a “GMT Bug” that has been talked about on a gigantic Apple Support Communities thread for the last four months, with almost 600 replies. Apparently the bug “causes any appointment created on an iOS device to acquire the time zone setting of the clock on the server where the user’s calendar account resides, and then all appointments are transposed to that time zone…” (usually GMT, hence the name. It’s been causing people to miss their appointments and to start using third-party apps for calendar purposes.
At first, Apple denied this problem but finally admitted it. They say their engineers are working on a fix, but there isn’t a time frame for that yet.
