10 days of the year missing from iPhone calendar, users shocked


Recently, iPhone users were surprised to see that 10 days were missing from the iPhone calendar in October 1582.

This observation was made when a user noticed that October 15 was coming directly after October 4, meaning that the days between October 5 and 14 were missing.

Users are creating various puzzles regarding this mystery. One user asked on X what happened in October 1582.

Another user said that this means we are all 10 days older than our ages.

However, it should be noted that this is not a software error or bug but a historical fact. In the year 1582, Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian calendar to correct the shortcomings of the Julian calendar.

The Julian calendar based each year on 365 days and 6 hours, which was about 11 minutes longer than the actual solar year. Over the centuries, this difference grew and the calendar began to lose its synchronization with the seasons. To solve this problem, the Pope decided that the day after October 4, 1582, would be October 15, to eliminate the 10-day difference.

The iPhone calendar, which is based on the Gregorian calendar, accurately reflects this change. So when you look at the month of October 1582, the days October 5 to 14 appear to be missing. This is not an error, but a reflection of historical fact.
