Easter has “appeared just as quickly as it disappeared” on Apple’s iPhone after widespread complaints from users.

As LifeSiteNews reported last week, Apple Inc. removed Good Friday and Easter from its default “US Holidays” calendar app for iPhones...

...Apple sent a response letter signed by “Phil.” “We are sorry that you do not have Easter marked as a holiday on your Calendar. An update is planned for this week that will fix it,” the letter read.

being a false god and religious icon, Apple doesn’t like the competition from Jesus.

Well, at least they fixed it. I posted the article about when they yanked Easter, this is just a follow-up noting they are making it right.

Noticed they had “Holi” as a holiday yesterday. It’s a Hindu one. Glad they put Easter back but it should have NEVER been removed. It is a UNIVERSAL holiday, not just in the United States.

Do you suppose they understand that our Christian forbearance is the ONLY thing preventing all democrats winding up face down in a ditch with a bullet in the head?

Not around here it isn't.
And Army Street is still Army Street... Charter Way is still Charter Way.

Sorry, after working in IT for a long time I immediately recognized this as a classic programming error that wasn’t caught in testing/validation. April 1st this year has TWO holidays (April Fools Day & Easter); their original programming only kept the one (probably the first in alpha order).

I’M HOME, there should be an app which allows you to select the Holy days you want shown on your calendar that also allows you to select a preferred name rather than a default name for that day. For example, George Washington’s birthday instead of President’s day. Some folks would rather see Passover instead of Easter. Others of other cultures or religious traditions may have other preferences. This app allows the user to select and personalize these things. If I were a programmer I’d build it myself. It should work with both apple and Android.

It was about 20 years ago when I cancelled my newspaper subscription because the paper failed to mention Easter on Easter morning.

I wish we could delete the bulls#t holidays but it’s a “read only” calendar. That’s why I just don’t even bother with it. If enough of us could spread the word and just click off the calendar option on iPhone maybe they will allow editing. I don’t give a crap about “Holi” or “ramadan” or any other holidays from other religions.

I wondered what that was! I thought I had started to enter some event and just didn't finish writing it. I couldn't remember doing it, though.

Then explain why Good Friday was not on the calendar as well, and is now back on.

Sorry that doesn’t pass the smell test with Indigenous People’s Day showing up, but not Columbus Day. Both on Oct.8th 2018.

Ask SIRI questions about Jesus and God, and watch it’s hopelessly secular and cynical verbal reply (which was) most definitely programmed by some millenial atheist 20-something working in Silicon Valley with all the money in the world for his agree, and yet with a lost soul.
