I am having a similar issue and have searched and searched for a solution, to no avail.
Whenever I create an event on my iPhone calendar app it is correctly created in my iPhone calendar app in EST time zone. However, when I open that event on my Mac in my synced Outlook calendar app it shows the event in UTC time zone.
- This is the calendar setup I have had for 5+ years with zero issues with time zones syncing correctly. This issue just started happening a number of months ago.
- I have a hotmail email address.
- All apps and operating systems are updated with the most up to date software.
- I have ensured that the time zone is set to EST on Hotmail, iCal/iPhone calendar, and outlook.com/Outlook app with time zone override turned on on all.
This issue does not occur the other way around - if I create an event on the Outlook calendar app on my Mac it's created in EST and also shows EST when I open it on my iPhone calendar app. It's only when the event is created on the iPhone calendar app, then opened on my Mac's Outlook app.
Creating the event on iPhone calendar...correct time zone displayed

Opening the created event on iPhone calendar...time zone displaying correctly

Opening created event in Outlook calendar app on Mac...time showing in UTC time zone

iPhone calendar app...correct time zone selecteed, with time zone override turned on...

Outlook settings on iPhone and Mac...


This is so frustrating. Any other troubleshooting help would be greatly appreciated!
