The Calendar application is the iPhone's default calendar application.

Apple's iPhone smartphone device features a "Calendar" application. There are two ways to add events to this application: manually, via the application itself and automatically, syncing calendars stored on the computer you use to sync with the device. If you want to remove all the events stored on the device, you must remove both types: events added manually must be removed manually, while events added automatically are removed by syncing your device with your computer.
