iPhone 6 clock time offset

I agree. Mine is also off by several minutes. Makes my whole system run odly at times when posting to a specific area or forum. Sometimes the time i get when adding coments corrects itself to the correct time not shown on the phone itself.

I've checked my devices with a atomic clock:

iPhone 6 iOS 9 GM (after installing did hard reset)

SS 42mm Watch OS2 GM (after installing did hard reset)

OS X El Capitan GM (turned off and started up again)

iPad Air 1 (WiFi only) iOS 9.1 beta 1 (after installing did hard reset)

All the above mentioned devices have the (exact) same time as the atomic clock. Even the seconds are corresponding, exactly the same.

My wife's iPad mini 1 and iPhone 6 (iOS 8.4.1) has the same time as above mentioned devices.

Strange....

Same on iPhone 6+ ios 9 GM on AT&T. It is making Two-factor authetication (2FA) like Google Authentication almost unusable.

Hi

Same problem with an iphone 6+ since last Beta iOS9 upgrade, time out by 80 seconds, on Vodafone UK, 2FA impossible with it being out this far.

Have all of you folks filed bug reports as well? It's important to let Apple know this is a fairly common issue.

Guys I have to reiterate, this problem is not exclusive to iPhones. I have the exact same problem with my iPad Air 2. It is wifi only and I have been having this problem since iOS 9 beta 5.

FYI, Upgrade to Beta 9.1 on sunday and problem, so looks like a bug in 9. Whatg the URL for the bug report please.

The Apple Bug Reporter is available here: bugreport.apple.com

Same here. iOS9 GM / Belgium / Proximus.

I'd be interested to know if the timestamp you record programmatically is the same that is displayed on the screen. Is the time skewed when accessed in NSDate objects or ctime calls?

I have the same problem with the 2 minute difference. I have noticed when making a post through the phone it will display 2 minutes earlier then what my phone shows as the time at the top, indicating that the phone is fast.

My question is really: is this just a simple timestamp formatting issue, or is the internal clock actually skewed?

CSM's post from a few days ago should answer your question:

...the main iPhone clock at top center of screen is off, and all other clock apps that I tried show the same time as the main iPhone clock...

I'm having the same problem with the time being about 2 minutes slow. I updated to the 9.1 Beta and that still didn't resolve the issue. I did open a ticket using the Feedback App, but I never got a response to my other messages so I'm not terribly hopeful. This wreaks havok with any time-based operations like 2-factor auth.

Wait—yours is 2 minutes slow? Everyone else said they were two minutes fast. Interesting…

I have the same issue on 5s with iOS 9b5. And this is very painful sinc I have to wait 2 minutes before hitting enter while using MFA.

It has to be a bug in the code.

Here is the test I made:
- turned off automatic time sync and changed clock

- rebooted iPhone - time stayed as I set it

- tuned on time sync (AT&T) and phone clock jumpled to the current time + a bit less than 2 minutes

iPhone sets clock that current time + 2 minutes every time NTP is enabled.

That time difference is incresing - is was about a minute a week ago and is close to 2 minutes now. Wonder if that is sometype of beta kill switch that is not working properly...

I can confirm that for me, disabling Set Automatically in Date & Time "resolves" the issue. Specifically, Disabling "Set Automatically" in Date & Time causes the time to jump back to the correct time within a few seconds. Enabling it causes the time displayed to jump forward 2 minutes. BTW according to this technote iOS is getting the time from the cellular provider: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203483 . But it's clearly not just a provider issue because there are lots of providers listed in this thread (I'm using an iPhone 6 64GB on AT&T).

I say "resolves" above because of course it's not really resolved because now the time on my device will drift.

I have an iPad Air 2 (only wifi) no cellular provider. Where is my time being synced with? As I've stated before in this thread I too am experiencing the same time effect as others are with iPhones.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that the issue was specific to devices with radios or that you weren't experiening the issue. Clearly for devices without cellular radios the time is comming from somewhere else (e.g. an NTP server).

In any event, after upgrading to the released 9.0 (which is different than GM) I no longer have the issue even after turning automatic time sync back on.

Excellent thank you!!! I will update my devices and report back shortly if I continue to have the same issue.

my iphone 6 on verizon is still about 2 min fast. i was running public beta 9.0 and upgraded to 9.0 today. ipad air on verizon was fine on the beta and still fine.

The release today did not fix my time issue on my iPad Air 2. This gets out it will be timegate! Why does there always have to be a gate of some kind each time there is a major release?

couldn't take it anymore. ended up backing up, and then restoring through itunes. had to setup apple pay touch id and some work apps not in the app store but it was worth it to my ocd lol

Mine is still 2 min fast after updating to the 9.0 release today. I don't think it is the phone HW, but not yet understood. I'll try to get support through AppleCare with the public release now. I haven't heard anything yet on the bug I submitted earlier.

So did the complete wipe/restore fix the problem for you?
