Not sure if this has been mentioned before, a search did not bring up anything. But since the update to ios6 a couple of days ago...a feature that I always wanted is there! When scheduling a calendar entry, there is now the ability to put a "second" alert....so say an hour before, then again 15 minutes before....I love it, thank you apple!

Now if we could only set up group email distribution lists, I would be really happy ( :

Did anyone else see this one?

It's definitely very handy...though not new (been there for as long as I can remember).

It is only there when I am using my icloud calendar, if I switch to put appointments in my work exchange calendar i can only put one reminder.

See attached. Maybe I'm missing something? Thinking its because I'm using Exchange account?

It hadn't occurred to me but this appears to be correct. I see it when creating an event in my iCloud calendar but not when using Exchange (work or Gmail). Not sure about other email/calendar services or Gmail as a non-Exchange setup.

That was one of the shipping features of iOS 1.0.

Oh c'mon... It's 5:00 in the morning here and I almost woke my girlfriend from laughing at this

Edit: I meant the exchange just read funny. Wasn't laughing at OP.

Yea, but if you never used local or iCloud/Mobile Me calendar you would never have known this feature existed. I've used exchange since my first iPhone and never new this feature existed until this thread.
