Its amazing how quickly we come to depend on things though. I love DND. I'll go back to manually turning it on for now, and I'm not super happy about this issue *but I'll get over it.
Got a tip for us?

heavens...what did you do prior to the release of iOS 6 three months ago!? i can only imagine your discomfort all these years.
huh? how does DND save your life in meetings where Silent would not?
kinda. me, i downloaded it as part of a free update.
6.1 beta 4 had the issue for me on the first, but nothing since...even though it's only one day later.
When was the last time they used the "It just works."? You're talking 2007 and it was referring to OS X, not the iPhone or iOS.
Start applying it to everything even years later. Is it still The New Generation Of Olds?I'm sure Apple would refund you for the portion of features not working on your phone. You'd be looking at about 0.1¢. But you paid for that.
BTW: Don't set any appointments or reminders for Feb 13th, 2014 as that date hasn't yet been added to the iOS 6 calendar database.

All these whiners on here makes me wonder what people ever did prior to the iOS 6 update.
I turned off my phone.
It is a bug where a phone could miss incoming calls, not such a small thing depending on what calls you miss. Also it is part of a bigger picture where Apple sw is not as reliable as it was, it does not "just work", which was the whole point of paying the Apple tax.
If only there was a DnD app in the App Store that provided more functionality than Apple's offering. I only see two or three DnD-type apps and none of them look particularly good. If there was a good third-party DnD app, Apple could recommend that we all go download that while they get their stuff together and/or the bug works itself out. That solution seemed to work for Apple Maps, anyway.
The Daylight Savings jump should be fun this year if this little bug is any indication. Maybe my phone will spring ahead four hours and wake me up when it's really only 3 AM.

Not at all. You can still turn it on and off yourself. Only the auto schedule is messed up for some folks
Sounds like you're not a developer. There are a lot of edge cases out there, especially when working with dates. In hindsight it's an obvious edge case, but before hand there are a ton of scenarios and not all can be tested. Bugs happen.
They have a year to fix it - it's been 2 days, and all their devs are probably on holiday. Give them a break (but then you'd have to stop hating Apple
). And as is stated above, this is more than likely a very simple date formatting error - which is very easy to do, very easy to miss and can quite easily slip through unit tests too.Calendar logic is not a simple thing, it's probably one of the more complicated "day-to-day" thing programmers have to do.
No he's not
1. There were bugs when he was alive and he understood this better than most users
2. Dead bodies can't roll
3. Even they could, he was cremated
They told everyone it will resolve itself on the 7th, because it will. They never said to relax. What the hell do you expect them to do patch it and release an update in under a week when the problem will fix itself? Honestly..
Seconded. Is there some kind of array issue, like an extra week of null scheduled events?
Could be so much worse. All this complaining kinda make us a bit PC. We could be windows 8 users right? Just chill it will work it's way out which is the beauty of the apple. It's all about perspective.
