That “scooting” effect you’re seeing on your iPhone 17 lock screen is a deliberate design tweak in iOS 26. Apple added a subtle “dynamic clock shift”—the time on the lock screen moves slightly left or right with each minute update. The idea is to make the lock screen feel more alive and less static, especially when paired with live wallpapers or depth effects.
