bankomeister,

Like Brian, I'm not using the iPhone app. yet, but here's another piece of the solution on the desktop.

It wasn't clear from your original post whether you are also using the Group By Due Date setting (second lozenge from the left) in the view bar:


If you group by due date, instead of just sorting by it, then you can collapse the sections for items due in the past or future. Save that view as a perspective and it will remember what sections you collapsed.
