Having the preference set for”on” would have the phone bring a popup screen acknowledging _______’s birthday, the age, if available, and have [Call] and [Email] buttons as well as a [card] user-link changeable button, going to whatever site smoozes Apple to be the default, and a [flowers] button set up the same way.

A [later] drop down button could allow you to re-remind yourself later that day, the next day, etc. if you’d like to handle it at a different time.

Of course now, there would be a dropdown menu in the preferences to choose a different supported address book (Google, Outlook, etc.).

You could also set how early you’d like a reminder to show up (2 weeks, one week, one day), and when you’d like the reminder to pop up that day.
