With the first Android 5.0 Lollipop devices becoming available— Nexus 9 today and the Nexus 6 later this month— Google is also showing off its new Google Calendar app arriving for other devices in the coming weeks. The new app comes on devices running Android 5.0 Lollipop, but Google also confirmed today that the app is in the works for iPhone users.
Google highlighted a few of the app’s new features including events from Gmail, suggestions that learn from your habits over time with a new feature called “Assists”, and a brand new schedule view:
So Calendar’s new Schedule view includes photos and maps of the places you’re going, cityscapes of travel destinations, and illustrations of everyday events like dinner, drinks and yoga. These images will bring a little extra beauty to your day, and make it easy to see what’s going on at a glance—perfect for when you’re checking in from your phone or tablet.
The app is available now for Android 5.0 Lollipop and will hit the Play Store for Android 4.1+ devices in the coming weeks. Google is working to bring the new app to iPhone users, but it didn’t provide a timeframe for availability.

Gotta love being an iOS user in that most everything going on in the world of Apple competitors eventually makes its way to the iPhone/iPad.
May not be as built-in as Android but the core experience is usually intact. And we might even get see some of the nifty animations too.
Beautiful and colorful, me like it ;)
It would be more useful if they brought Google Sync back to GApps and Gmail users.
I don’t trust Google enough to use their apps or services.
