How to setup CalDAV accounts and Calendar subscriptions on your iPhone and iPad

While iOS makes it easy to add popular calendar accounts to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, you can also manually add any calendar that supports the open CalDAV standard, and subscribe to any calendar that provides a compatible URL. As long as you have the login information for the CalDAV account, or the link for the subscription, you're good to go.
