   He never said that.   
      
   So let us by all means belabour the fact that Arlen just makes up straw men.

   Some people store calendar data in the cloud.   
      
   Some people store it only on their iPhone and it gets transferred to a   
   new iPhone without ever touching the cloud.

   Sure, why not?   
      
   Oh wait, you didn't say anything about it!

   Just start a migration; cloud-based or iPhone-to-iPhone direct.

   On iOS, you simply bring the new iPhone close to the old one...

   As you don't on an iPhone if you don't want to.
