iPhone Calendar event title font/text size and location text area/space are way too big after iOS 27 update.

Need this fixed. My calendar screen is now overtaken by the event title that is something like 4 times the size it was prior to iOS 27. Also the location now takes up a lot of vertical space as well.

This all requires more scroll to get to event / meeting notes at the bottom whereas before I could quickly get all the info I needed on one screen without having to scroll down on the page.

I tried the accessibility changes with text sizes on a per app basis but anything changed there for the calendar changes ALL of the texts, so if I make it slightly smaller, it makes the calendar’s day of events tiny.

Apple, please fix this so the event title is of a normal size and not a monstrosity.

If you're using a zoom level, it zooms the level of everything --> Zoom in on the iPhone screen - Apple Support - But to my knowledge, there isn't a setting for the display size of just the calendar.

You also may be under the impression you're speaking with Apple here, when you say "Apple, please fix........" You aren't addressing Apple at all here. This is a user to user only forum, which Apple neither participates, nor reads for user feedback. If you think Apple needs to address something, you can tell them using this link, as we users can't change anything within iOS --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

You have asked the author of this thread to fix this. Apple isn't here, doesn't participate here, nor read posts here for user feedback. This is a user to user only forum.

If you think Apple needs to do something, you can provide feedback here --> https://www.apple.com/feedback/

Did you read the posts in this thread? Are you using a Zoom level, which it appears you likely are. I provided a link above you might want to look at.

Lawrence Finch has highly recommended WeekCal. I haven't used it in a while so I can't say if it would meet your needs better, but it's worth looking at.

In the vein of you can't please everyone, most people complaining about Calendar in the last few days are complaining about the text being too small.

There is also a lot of added vertical space in this section too. Showing THREE rows of alerts even though I’m using only 2 (prior calendar was 2 max), and an unneeded section that takes up space of “show as” and “travel time”. So basically lots of extra clutter which requires more scrolling and an inability to quickly view the relevant meeting or event notes without having to scroll through all of this extra stuff. If they’re going to add all this then we should have an option to hide it.

Apple had prided itself on simplicity and it seems lately it’s going away from that and making things worse that were already working great and aesthetically pleasing and beautifully functional before making change for the sake of change.
