iPhone 6 clock time offset

Did you try restarting the affected iPhone?

Another thought—do you have a Watch paired to the phone? Its time offset could be getting propagated to the phone.

I have the exact same thing happening on my iPad Air 2. It is about 2 minutes ahead. Tried a few things with no success. I have however an iPhone 6 and an iPhone 5s that are not experiencing this issue. Very strange.

Tried resetting a few times. No change. No Apple Watch.

Hmm… maybe you could try writing a small piece of code to see if what's getting shown on the clock is actually the system time?

Interesting idea, but probably not worth the few minutes of time, as 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. Does the clock set via Verizon NTP server or some other clock sync?

I don't know for sure how the clock is synced, but I should think that the Verizon network is given priority, followed by the local wi-fi network if one is available. Try turning off cellular but leaving your phone connected to wifi, then restart it. Maybe something's wrong with Verizon's time sync.

Updated to iOS 9 GM release. Still offset by 2 minutes.

Turned off cellular and restarted with just WiFi connection. Still offset it rebooted.

Waited about 5 minutes and no change.

Still strange as other iPhone in house and iPad are showing correct time, so you would

think the network time sync aspect of it would be same from same location.

Left phone off overnight and powered up in airplane mode with just wifi on. No change, still has offset.

Interesting too, my Fitbit sync to the phone is showing correct time, but the phone time is offset.

Are you sure the Fitbit doesn't keep its own time?

Maybe try restarting the phone again with everything turned off. My older flip phone doesn't display any time at all if it doesn't have cellular connectivity; maybe restarting an iPhone when it has no link with the outside world will force it to re-sync with some valid standard.

Same problem here with iOS 9 GM on T-Mobile D and T-Mobile NL. Time is 1 minute 57,2 sec fast.

Have you tried restarting your phone with cellular/wifi turned off as well?

Yes, tried with all radios off.

So does it do like other phones do where it doesn't display any time at all until you establish a network connection? Or does it appear to keep track of time by itself?

With WiFi and Cellular off, after power-up, it has the clock with the same incorrect time.

It keeps track internal, and then syncs to server somehow, but I'm not sure how it prioritizes that.

It does keep its own time, but gets the sync from the iPhone via bluetooth

through the App. I am not sure how often is syncs the time.

Hmm. Well, it seems that since all the possible solutions have been exhausted, I guess there's nothing more you can really do than file a bug report explaining the issue.

I filed one. Still hoping someone that has similar problem has leads.

I don't think it is the phone HW, but just seems strange that it would

have this offset. Once it gets back to official release, I can see if it still

exists, and/or take to Apple store to see if they have any insight.

Okay. Now that it seems to be as settled as we can get it, I don't think there's much more to do. Maybe someone else has more information, but I think you'll be better off if you don't let this little problem distract you for too long. See you later! 🙂

I have same issue on my iPhone 6 (T-Mobile) iOs 9 has 2 minutes offset.

After updating my iPad Air 2 to GM release the time is still 2 minutes ahead. This is nuts.

I never noticed it til I saw this post. My 6 Plus on iOS 9 GM is 2 minutes faster than my iPad Air running the 9.1 beta.

sorry, reverse that. The iPad is 2 minutes faster than the 6 Plus running iOS 9 GM. iPad Air is on 9.1 beta

Of course. Problem is solved with iOS 9.1 Beta 1.

Joining in - also 2 minutes offset in Belgium, Brussels timezone - Proximus as provider.
