IOS17 Standby Mode will only display Cupertino time on the main screen but subsequent screens display correct time.

If you're using one of the City clock widgets, you need to tap on it (in the add widgets view). It will flip around and you can select a different city. By default, the City clock widget (like Weather) is set to Cupertino.

So chose one of the other clock widgets, one not named "City". Or, use the clock display. When in Standby Mode, swipe to the left, past the photos to the clock display. Swipe up and down to choose your preferred clock.

You press and hold on the widget screen. Delete all of the clock widgets from your screen, including the one for your city. Tap the "+" in the upper left corner of the screen. Swipe down to "Clock". The first widget in the list is called "Clock 1". After that is "Clock II" and "Clock III". Any of those will work.

I have an iPad. Sounds like you’re telling me this annoying bug can’t be fixed.

I'm telling you you don't have the issue that this thread is about - a problem with the widgets in Standby. iPads don't have Standby so I'm really not sure what exactly you're talking about. I think, rather than posting here in the iPhone forums, you should start your own thread in the iPad forum. I think it will be easier for people to help you there.

I changed it by adding a new clock widget that had “current clock” time. So far it has worked.

That does not solve the problem. As the other person says, it switches back to city clock and Cupertino every time. It’s a bug.

You need to remove the City clock from the stack and/or turn off auto rotation.

Yeah you’re not getting it. It adds it back to the stack if you remove it.

Perhaps I'm not "getting it" because that has never happened to me. You need to make sure you turn off Widget suggestions.

This only works temporarily for me. It always seems to revert to Cupertino when the phone goes out of standby

I figured this out just now.

1. Place your thumb on the CUP clock to 'click' and hold until you see widgets wiggling.
2. Click on the center of the wiggling clock widget.
3. Change the city in the field.
4. Click anywhere to exit.
5. Click done.

I just changed my to Bal'more. Hope this helps!

Brilliant - this has been bugging me for a while!! I want to edit yours just a bit:

1. Hold your thumb on the clock until you feel the haptic and see the graphic change to edit mode with the wiggling widgets.
2. Tap on the center of the wiggling clock widget.
3. The graphic will rotate to reveal the city you are seeing the time for.
4. Change the city in the field.
5. Click anywhere to exit.
6. Click done.

Fantastic! This one was driving me nuts, and honestly I had given up and just noted it was another Apple bug in poorly tested software. An actual solution instead of the "just reboot your computer" attitude from the "Level 10" responder. And, shame on Apple for making this so ****** unintuitive.

I have no idea how to remove “City clock”; instead removed all clocks except the one for where I live, and still see CUP on my Lock Screen. This is an extremely annoying and unnecessary problem. Why would Apple think I want anything other than my local time on my Lock Screen? Local should be the default. Period. I have F$#&’d with this for about ten minutes and still haven’t figured it out. Enough time wasted…..

Still can’t figure this out. My widgets screen does not appear to include a clock. So, I added one with my local time but CUP still shows up on the Lock Screen. How do I access the widget screen that you mention? If I press and hold screen while iPad is locked, nothing happens.

I'm very confused by your post. Do you have an iPad? Or an iPhone? Standby is not a feature of the iPad.
