Hello,
After updating to iOS 9 yesterday I went on time.is to check my clock accuracy (I do this like twice a week) and it shows my iPhone clock is 5.2 seconds ahead.
My Mac Clock is 100% accurate. My Time settings on my iPhone is automatic.
Could y'all please help me with how I could get this to 100% accurate time? Honeslty with iOS 8 it was never off by ±0.200 Seconds
I'm using an iPhone 6
iPhone 6, iOS 9
Similar problem here. Currently iPhone 6 with iOS 9 shows a clock +17 seconds and discrepancy seems to be gradually worsening! 😟
OMG Exact same problem! It's 12 seconds ahead now and it's getting annoying
Just this minute updated to iOS9.0.1 and the problem remains! 😟
Is there any solution to it? This is really bad and affecting me in such a bad way!
One Week Later...
Thanks for the link to Apple. I did write to them about this issue.
My iPhone 6 (iOS 9.0.1) clock seems to be increasing by about 1-2 seconds/day; it's now at +31 seconds!
Oddly, I met a friend yesterday with iPhone 5 & iOS 9.0.1 and his clock was dead on! Leaves me perplexed!
Does your friend have an Apple Watch? I did an informal survey at work, and everyone with an Apple Watch did NOT have any time clock issues.
No... he doesn't own an Apple Watch. I don't believe iOS 9 is involved with the watch... but dunno for sure!
I have no idea why iOS 9's clocking shouldn't be consistent with the quite accurate clocking of OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
The clock on my iPhone is creeping ahead marginally day by day; today it's at +43 seconds! 😟
The Time.is server is always a bit off compared with the apple time servers (or the other way around). This has nothing to do with the device: you will find that with all your devices. In old days you could choose the time server yourself. In windows XP you can set the time server in the date/time settings yourself and maybe in newer Windows also, I do not remember. most time servers are a bit "off" from each other.
I’m not critical of the device! The problem seems to be with the operating system’s approach to how it obtains time information. Even were there to be a slight difference between time sources, wouldn’t you expect whatever differences there are to remain relatively fixed and not gradually diverge as what many of us are experiencing with iOS 9? When I first noted this “problem” (shortly after release of iOS 9), the divergence was ~+7 seconds; today it’s increased to +43 seconds!
Something is amiss!
I never compared over a long time. So I can not answer that. Probably the difference is not constant.
If you reset the iPhone and do a "forced start" immediately after you note the time difference, is the difference very different? If yes you should make a feedback to apple (feedback link on all apple sites) and perhaps even visit the Apple Genius.
(force start: press and hold the Power and Home buttons at the same time, do not release until the white apple logo).

If I "reset" as you've described... will I be confronted with many other questions before my iPhone will resume to normal? I dislike doing things that may oblige me to re-enter data that may not be immediately at hand! 😟
the reset function in Settings->general->reset are rather self explanatory. I would start with the last one: Reset Location & Privacy.
My iPhone clock is ahead
