Need to add an appointment in the iPhone's Calendar that's months (or years) in the future? Tap the All-day slider, and you can then select a date months or years ahead very quickly. When you've got the date selected, tap the All-day slider agai, and Calendar will allow you to set the HH:MM for the appointment, retaining the date you've selected in All-day mode.
