It’s a calendar bug. Local notifications are/can be scheduled 30 days in advance, so on Dec 2nd they can be scheduled on Jan 1st. I saw crash logs on Twitter mentioning “month 13”, so it looks like there’s an off by one bug in that calendar handling code

Stupid mistakes by big companies helped me fight the imposter syndrome.
That makes it all the more unusual, because I have not heard of Apple devices having problems on Dec 2 before now; unless they're rewriting everything frequently, which may also explain a few of the other severe bugs they've produced recently... yet another argument for not replacing things entirely just because they're "old" --- software needs time to mature and stabilise, and have its bugs fixed. Something as simple as a date addition should've been perfected by now.
