How can you revert back the the calendar view prior to the release of iOS 18. This new view is horrible and makes viewing my various events each day more difficult. Apple should give users an option of opt-in on changes while allowing you to keep what was perfectly fine.

I hate the new calendar format! I can't see anything. I want my old format back.

Lawrence do you work for Apple??? If this is so easy, could you let the thousands upon thousands of users… probably now in the millions and millions, know how to work around this fiasco and see a full day of 30 appointments easily!!!
No one posting in this user-to-user forum works for Apple.
I agree-I just permanently turned off all updates. Sick of calling apple daily (5x now) at all these changes that improve nothing. I see someone suggested using a different calender. WHY? I paid a grand to make calls, see the flipping date, text, check emails, basics. When the most basic of functions-oh forget it-apple couldn’t care less-suffice to say I’m seeing my day planner from 5 years ago and it’s beyond irritating. You just lost any future sales from me you are exhausting in your drive for being complicated on steroids. Get a life, take a walk, smoke a jount but leave our stuff alone already.
I don't like to be a person who is averse to change, but this iOS upgrade to the calendar month function is terrible.
I want the old version back
Just called Apple Support and I am told this garbage is the only thing available.
Sometimes you people do the worst things to this phone
Very frustrated
It is not brilliant for all of us. First, I can still only see six hours of the days. Second, I leave my phone locked vertically, because so many of my apps are challenging in landscape mode. Therefore, to use the Calendar in landscape mode, I have to unlock my phone, look at my calendar, then lock it again. Any other ideas?

Please Apple… why did you change this? I can no longer see my whole day! I know what month it is … I know what day it is… I need to know what I have scheduled and when for my full day… easily. Could you just ask some users before deciding something on our behalf that doesn’t help one tiny bit !
Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:
Apple has access to unfathomably huge amounts of user data. They also do extensive alpha and beta testing. You can even be part of the beta testing if you want.
There are also hundreds (thousands, possibly) of third-party calendar apps in the App Store. Perhaps one of them would better suit you. WeekCal is frequently recommended.

I can’t see anything well on the new calendar update. Please return to the previous version which worked just fine! Why fix things that aren’t broken?
Why are you telling us users in this user-to-user forum, where no one can change anything? Tell Apple→Product Feedback - Apple
But meanwhile you might learn how to use and customize the calendar; You can learn how to use the new calendar features here→What’s new in iOS 18 - Apple Support

No one here in this user-to-user forum can "bring back" anything from the previous version of Calendar. You can let Apple know your thoughts here:
Meawhile, you may find that one of the many hundreds of other calendar apps in the App Store better meet your needs. Week Cal is very traditional.

The fact that you can turn the phone to Landscape and get a usable week view is brilliant.
👍
I can live with the new calendar but when I set an alert, I need it the old way by minutes and hours
You will find it enlightening to read all of the thread you just added to.
Thank you so much for sharing that tip! Arbitrary changes with no option to decline them are a pain. My Take Note reminders are sufficient! Thanks again!
Use list view.
Horrible design.
