I usually use the stock apps but I am trying Edge as browser and Spark for mail and calendar and I kinda like them better.
What are you using?
 
I use Fantastical, Apple Mail & ProtonMail (separate accounts) and Safari. I used Spark for a long time and love its features, but I had concerns regarding the privacy policy of the app.

Yeah I have been wondering a little about privacy with Spark, but I love the app. Fingers crossed :D
 
Safari, FireFox for the odd site that won't work well on Safari, Google Calendar (I have used Apple Calendar but it looks like crap now), Apple Mail rarely, Gmail, and I have had a paid account with ProtonMail for three years but have stopped using it as they still have not synced messages between desktop and Android.
 
Firefox / stock Mail / Fantastical.

I also have Outlook (Mail/Calendar) on my device - I go hot/cold over it (currently cold) and I have tried Spark, but it generally pisses me off. Fantastical okay, but could probably just as easily go with the stock calendar app, too. And as a cross-platform app is concerned, Fantastical for Mac too pricey for what is does, so that's a non-starter.
 
Firefox / Apple Mail / Calendars (Readdle)

I'd switch to Safari except I don't like the desktop version so use Firefox on my laptop.

I'd switch to Apple Calendar if they fix the issue with iOS widgets deleting current events before they end.
 
Safari / Apple Mail / Apple Calendar 😅

About the browser, take one with adblocker (or at least someting vs cookies banner). And try using one available on your mac (or other computer), so you could synchronize bookmarks. Remember than on iOS every browser need to use webkit, so only take care about their options.

If you are using Outlook Alias for sending mails, you should use Outlook.

Brave and Outlook.

I might switch back to Safari.

The way mail.app handles attachments is just awful and it lacks features like "send later," which has been a part of Outlook for a long time now. Also, the Office suite has excellent dictation capabilities---much better than built in dictation.
 
All default apps. I tried Outlook for iOS, but it just seemed very isolated. I'm not having issues on any of them, except the stupid iCloud tab sync. However that's another thread for another time.

Browser - Safari and Microsoft Edge
Email - Microsoft Outlook
Calendar - Stock Calendar

There are things I like about Safari (integration with Apple Services (Apple Pay etc) and things I like about Edge (cross platform synchronization).
Email - I like Outlook and it is more familiar to me coming from a Windows background.
The stock calendar app is very good so that is what I use.
 
Browser : Safari and Firefox & Firefox Focus.
Mail : Apple mail & Tutanota mail.
Calender : Stock Calendar.

Maybe I give Microsoft Edge a try.
 
Safari, Gmail, and Google Calendar, and Google Podcast. Depending on how much I like (dislike?) the final Safari in iOS15 I may switch to Chrome.
 
Stock mail and calendar for my personal email\calendar, Outlook for work email and calendar to keep things separate. Then just use Safari for browsing.
