A calendar that belongs on your Home Screen, not in another app you have to open. WIDGETS A grid of one to twelve months, chosen when you add the widget — on the iPhone Home Screen and the Mac desktop. On the Mac a separate ‘Year’ widget shows twelve months at once; on iPhone and iPad the largest Yearscape size gives the same view.”* The Lock Screen gets something else, because it has less room: seven contents to choose from — mini month, three weeks, current week, next holiday, long weekend, workdays, year progress.

Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be.
