Additional iPhone/Daylight Savings Time errors reported

If you had problems with your iPhone’s clock around daylight savings time, you’re not alone. Per The Unofficial Apple Weblog, this past weekend, as clocks were turned forward for Daylight Savings time in the US, some users were still having issues of varying kinds, from clocks changing when they weren’t supposed to, to alarms not going off when set up correctly. Some users are even reporting the time changing just fine, and then inexplicably switching back.

Since most of the information on the issues is anecdotal, it’s hard to pin down exactly what’s happening, but it seems to be something going on between the phone’s software and a connection to the local provider’s time information. Most of the issues are being fixed by flipping Airport Mode on and off (to re-establish the cellular connection) or even just restarting the phone. Alternately, users can set the time themselves manually, though having a phone that sets its own time is obviously a lot more convenient.

At any rate, it looks like Apple is continuing to deal with this ongoing issue. From your end, take a quick gander to make sure everything’s where it needs to be and if you’ve seen this issue on your end, please let us know.
