We’re still not sure if it was a glitch, an “oops” or an intentional snub, but it looks like Easter Sunday has disappeared from Apple’s iPhone calendars under the company's latest software update.

Fox News reports some iPhone users have complained that Easter Sunday, which falls on April 1 this year and is the most important holiday in Christianity, has been erased from Apple’s calendar under its latest iOS version 11.2.5.

It doesn't matter in the end.

Many will "disappear" when they are not found in The Book of Life ....

Jeez, even Apple has some idiot employees. If they have to “prioritize” which holiday to display when there are more than one for a given day, they certainly should have “April Fools’ Day” low on the priority hierarchy!

Likely just an oversight, left wing companies are all very respectful to Christianity. Right?

“Good thing we’ve run out of real problems”.

The Destruction of Culture is a ‘Real Problem’.

My vote, since it's Apple: "intentional snub"

Christians should boycott Apple. It was the desire for apples that got us into trouble in the first place.

“so who is indigenous to N. America Koreans? mongolians? Chinese?”

Or “D - None of the above”. Everybody came here from somewhere else. Only the ground is “indigenous” - and even the ground has done some moving around!
Either no one is indigenous or we all are.

Funny how the “glitches” always go in the very same direction.

It's a test. If not enough complaints, they'll leave Easter out.

The high tech world is baptized in the spirit of antichrist. Amazon's Echo can answer what Allah and Buddha are but refuses to answer who Jesus Christ is.

The end is near, but not yet.

My iPhone 6+ has the latest update.

Easter is still marked as a holiday (Easter) in my iPhone calendar.

There’s always the possibility of a rogue employee and I’ll wait to see if Apple corrects this error. If not, Apple will go the way of pro football for me and my family.

Oh yes, hehehe.

Stop giving Apple your money. They sold out to the Chinese, the liberal left and the heathen globalist years ago.

Thank God I do not count on a private company to keep track of my religious holidays.

I am sure there is a download calendar widget that will fill in all of the religious dates out there for your brand of God.
