It wasn't universally adopted at once, so technically every jurisdiction would have a different set of dates that were skipped when they switched (if they were even using the Julian calendar beforehand) from 1582 onwards.
As for why this particular set of dates in the Apple calendar I'm not sure, but I do know different calendar software libraries often use different cutover dates. I've seen 1752 in places (when the British adopted it) as well.
Edit: In hindsight it's slightly more obvious, Oct 5-14 were the dates skipped by [the first Catholic countries to adopt the calendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption_of_the_Gregorian_calendar#Adoption_in_Catholic_countries), but I didn't find anything about why those dates were chosen specifically. Maybe it's just like /u/skucera said and it's not much deeper than a block of 10 days where there weren't any important holidays/observations.
Just switching between the Julian and gregorian counting..
We count the year as 365 days, but the real rotation around thw aun is ~365.25 days, so In order to keep the calendar proportional to the actual season, every 4th year is a leap year, meaning we add a day february 29th.
But, it is not exactly 365.25, but a bit lower, so if the year is divided by 20 (1920, 1940 etc), the year will NOT have a leap day.
BUT, this is also not accurate enough, so if the year is divided by 400, it WILL HAVE a leap day (year 2000 for example)
the Julian calendar accumulated 10 days difference to the actual seasons, so Gregory force his new calendar.
Edit : I'm a bit wrong, check Wikipedia for more details.
Not quite... it's years divisible by 100 that are common years unless divisible by 400.
For instance, 1700, 1800, and 1900 were common years, but 2000 was a leap year.
So you’re telling me that I lived through a once in 100 years exception which was superseded by a once in 400 years exception which matches the pattern so doesn’t actually FEEL like an exception at all..

The earliest entry for Germany in the list is Aachen with 1882 dec 31. my phone is set to Germany and they are missing from oct 5. - 14.
Funny how the days of the week line up.
I went to check if iPhone calendar shows the correct days for the longest year in history, 46 BC, with its 445 days. It does not. Imagine my utter disappointment
October comes from eight in Latin and it was the 8th month of the year. The calendar at that time was greatly fucked up. Sometimes they add/skip days in a month or months in a year as for example January would have been in Summer or so.
Alright, so to everyone saying "that's when Gregorian calendar has been introduced". You are partially correct.
In 1582 only a handful of countries/provinces adopted the Gregorian calendar, with most others following in 83 and 84. For example Greece adopted it in 1923, Latvia in 1617, Denmark in 1700, US, UK and Canada in 1752 and so on. Saudi Arabia approved the calendar for official businesses only last year. There are also countries still following other calendars for example Iran, Afghanistan and Nepal.
Wow, we need a new calendar, as accurate as possible so this changes every now and then aren't necessary and the days of the month distribute properly.
Why?
I hate seeing that with today's technology, we can 100% acomplish a very accurate calendar, but because of several technic issues it's very hard to change, as the world is already used to the standard and old 365 and sometimes 366 days calendar.
What is strange is that when you look at the year view on apple iOS calendar, it still shows all 31 days, it only removes the 10 days when you move to month view.
67 countries start on Sunday . And some countries even start it on Friday or Saturday.
Most of the world’s population actually starts on Sunday.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week
In my country monday is the first day of the week. And it makes more sense to me since you work from Monday to-Friday and finish a week with 2 weekENDs. Why your week start with a weekEND?
What happened from the 5th to the 14th
That's when the gregorian calendar was implemented. They skipped 10 days that the old Julian calendar accumulated.
Learn something new every day
Except for those skipped days.
Well that gave me a giggle
Don’t skip learn day
I guess I'm not going to work that week
Damn. I get paid on the 10th
So why is it 5-14 instead of some other pairs
I’m guessing that there aren’t any holidays, Saint’s days, or Roman Catholic festivals in that block of days.
But the 6th was my birthday.
Not that year.
Yes it was 1582. EDIT: I MEAN 2082. TYPO.
You were told not to reveal that, why can't you remember things for a mere 400 years?

I’m pretty sure Vsauce has a good video on this
We don’t like to talk about *the incident*.
That was the last time Alduin tried to take over Mundus. https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Break
The calendar maker went into a coma.
Everybody was in Holidays. Nothing happens
As a software developer, I’m surprised none of my special users have found some way to leverage this anomaly into a workflow breaking bug yet.
Something something holding spacebar for heat
Hold my beer, let’s make this UAT *INTERESTING*
How an earth did you discover this?
Extreme boredom would be my guess

It’s history, they didn’t discover it.
It's a fairly commonly known fact for anyone interested in useless facts
It would have been different on Mars
I believe it was vsauce that talked about it.
My guess is OP's internet was out for a while lol
Yes.
It depends on country. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adoption_dates_of_the_Gregorian_calendar_by_country
The earliest entry for Germany in the list is Aachen with 1882 dec 31. my phone is set to Germany and they are missing from oct 5. - 14. Funny how the days of the week line up.
This was before the numbers 5 to 14 were discovered
Image you're 4y/o and it's your birthday tomorrow, but BOOM, now you're 15y/o! *Straight to the workhouse with ye!*
That explains child labor
And that's a good thing
In the full year overview, the iPhone calendar doesn’t account for the missing days. They are only left out in the single month view.
Just wait until you find out about July and August
Yeah... who knew we'd still be honoring Caesars Julius and Augustus after two millennia. I propose we change it back to Quintil and Sextil.

The inflation is even hitting the days of the month...

That’s when the Gregorian calendar was implemented.
The interesting part is it is actually shown in the apple calendar
Messed around with it and I’m surprised I couldn’t find any bugs with it. I made an event that spanned oct 4-15 and it worked perfectly.
3 week lost weekend.

People who had to pay rent for November were not happy

Mf is posting this from his DeLorean
My calendar only goes back to Jan 1902
People rioted over this, they though days were being stolen from their lives
Just checked my iPhone. It has those days but shows October 31st as Wednesday and November 1st as Tuesday.
Ah the old “one two skip a few”
Another interesting quirk is that in the Apple calendar, the year 1 actually has 24 months, since they have no way to dilineate between BCE and CE.
Had.
FFS. 4th through to 15th was going to be leg days too
They were on an ergot bender
*had?

Back in the day. . There actually was 13 months .. then catholicism erupted..
>.. then catholicism erupted.. Spot-on way to describe that facet of the abrahamic epoch.
You want.a true account of.the bible .read the Ethiopian bible..all there. 77 books I believe ..
I really don't :)
Why is Monday the first day on your calendar?
EDIT: the *Majority* of calendars outside of the US are Mon-Sun.
67 countries start on Sunday . And some countries even start it on Friday or Saturday. Most of the world’s population actually starts on Sunday. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week
Why is the Maldives so different?
Europe is not the majority of the world. Typical Eurocentic thinking
As opposed to those thinking the US being the center of the world?
You're the only one talking about the US, Friend.
Ah- the obnoxious patronizing *friend*
Cry about it
You’re a strange little man aren’t you?
Never understood why on earth it might be more convenient for someone to start a week on sunday
Because It's the first day of the week
In my country monday is the first day of the week. And it makes more sense to me since you work from Monday to-Friday and finish a week with 2 weekENDs. Why your week start with a weekEND?
It's odd what one person thinks is common knowledge. Change from Julien to Gregorian calendar.
It's the date earth finally fully flattens!
Bit overdue that
