"why would you enter it at 7pm in your own timezone"
Because I (and, I suspect, most people) enter appointments BEFORE my trips. And, while on a trip, I may set up appointments that will take place after I return.
Why should we have to dick around figuring out what timezone we're going to be in for every appointment in the future? Who operates like that?
I know that the phone will show the correct time wherever I am. So all I need is to set up the appointment reminder based on the TIME SHOWN ON THE PHONE, regardless of where it is. I want to tell Calendar: "When the clock on my phone says '10:00 a.m.', raise an alert."
For whom is this not the most common use case? Obviously you should be ABLE to specify a timezone, but I submit that the default should be "local."
But you’re having the appointment with other people, right? How does that work?
How can you make an appointment for a specific local time without setting a specific timezone? Are the people you’re having the appointment with traveling with you?
Good question if you're assuming that those people are invitees in my Calendar entry (which is seldom the case for me). If you "invite" people within Calendar, then you would simply be forced to select a time zone instead of "none" or "floating."
