Question

Time Zone issue in the calendar.

Answer 1

ChurchGurl,
I had the same problem on my newly acquired iPhone 6 as well as my slightly older iPad Mini (2), but the problem did not start until after I set up my iPhone 6 recently. The link (iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time - Apple Support) in Jason's response above is good advice and should fix the problem, but then your phone will not automatically adjust time zones if you go from one time zone to another. That may not be a problem much, or at all depending on how much you travel. Something else I noticed is that you are specifically referring to using the Calendar App. Be sure to check Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Time Zone Override (near the bottom under the "Calendars" section). If Time Zone Override is turned off, "events will display according to the time zone of your current location." I don't know for sure if the "location" it's talking about is determined by the "Time & Date" settings mentioned in Jason's response or some other calculation (GPS, Cell Signal, etc.). I'm thinking that if you turn off the feature to automatically set your time zone, it may affect your calendar as well.
Possible Alternative Solution...
My iPhone and iPad calenders sync with my Google Calendar, so this may be a whole different circumstance, although I encountered the same problem you're having where any appointments I created on my iPhone 6 (and suddenly on my iPad Mini as well, which created events properly before) listed the GMT Time Zone instead of my own. I checked the settings mentioned above, and checked the Calendar Time Zone settings directly in my Google account and all was correct... except for the iOS Time Zone issue displayed on the iOS Calendar. So, I created a new event in the iOS Calendar, and when I set the time for the event I made sure to change the Time Zone setting to my current/correct Time Zone, and then hit Done. After doing this a couple of times and changing/correcting the Time Zone each time I created the new appointment, it now uses the correct Time Zone for new events on both my iPhone 6 and on the iPad Mini as well, as if it synchronized the two back to the correct Calendar Time Zone settings. I suspect it had something to do with the fact that I set up a new iPhone on my account recently, but I don't know for sure. One question for you is whether you set up, restored, or added any new iOS devices to your account recently. It may or may not make a difference, but it's worth checking into. Good luck!
