How can I change Standby mode's time zone after iOS 17 update?

Finally got the phone to "react". Had to turn it on its side, back...on its side again...etc...; turn off the screen; tap it multiple times to get Standby to "wake up". Once it happens the first time, it usually works once it is on its side.

Bottom line is their default widget will not work (on many phones) so you cannot get it to work. It won’t. You have to use another widget and that needs to be made abundantly clear that it is an apple error.

I have tried the method suggested by shakedownstreet. This changes the city and time on the widget however when the phone goes into sleep mode the city is still Cupertino and the time is wrong.

FWIW, I have tried time and again to get my iPhone to ENTER Standby mode. No deal. You cannot imagine all of the acrobatics I have done with the phone while it is plugged in and charging, and no go. All Standby settings are correct.

Hmmm. I haven't had much difficulty with my iPhone 11 Pro. I put it on my wireless charging stand in landscape. Because I'm impatient, I tap the power button. Standby pops up. You have turned in on in Settings>Standby, right?

I do not see in Standby any area on the right offering replacement widgets--unless it is the blue tool "widget suggestions." I have "widget suggestions" on, BUT I get no response from the iPhone when i press the blue icon above the caption.

The additional widgets are on the left side of the screen. You access them by tapping the little "+" in the upper left corner.

Now my Standby screen is showing me a photograph of a flowery bush. Standby instructs me to open the photograph in Preview.

I have no idea why I am looking at pretty flowers. How do I get back to the first Standby clock and the Standby calendar that appeared earlier this afternoon?

I moved the photographs in Standby to the left, and now I am looking at the second analog Standby clock. It takes up the whole of my iPhone screen. When I scroll up, I get several new digital clocks, none of which I want. How do I get back to the first analog clock and calendar that Standby first showed?

I did not see a plus sign. But i did find my missing widgets hiding off to the left of the screen. All I had to do was to keep moving my finger to the right, and eventually I found Standby moving back to the widgets that I had started with and was looking for again.

Yup. All settings are correct. I'm beginning to suspect you need a stand for this to work, but from my understanding you just have to plug it into the charger and "set the phone on its side".

Go figure....

Apple seems to default to feeding customers the time and weather in Cupertino, as opposed to defaulting to current location. Don't know why they think anyone outside Cupertino wants that? I had a hard time getting Cupertino to stop showing up in my weather app an iOS version or two ago, as well.

Apple does that with a lot of things. The weather app defaults to Cupertino. Until you change it. Just like you can change the Standby Widget.

Thank you! I was puzzled as to how to do this. I just got the Peak Design Wireless Charging Stand and when it's docked, it brings up the clock (which is what I want), but it defaults to Cupertino.

So, this answer was the best one for my situation.

Agree. It still doesn't work. And by select a different clock widget, I don't know what you mean. There are no other clock options when I hold press, I can swipe up for other things but no other clocks. I can swipe through but it just shows other options like calendar. Please advise. I could really use help
