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
FWIW I updated to 9.0.2 yesterday and it fixed my issue (iPhone now keeps in perfect sync with time.is).
Very interesting. Yesterday morning when local Apple store decided that my iPhone should be replaced because their new iPhones (all running iOS 9.0.1) showed the correct time; iOS9.0.2 was still around 2 hours from release! At that time the store laid aside a replacement for me... but I had to return home to retrieve my Apple ID to facilitate data transfer to the new phone. When I returned to the store in the afternoon, Apple's phones were already updated to iOS 9.0.2! Of course, their clocks were correct, while mine running iOS 9.0.1 continued to remain ahead --- but have no idea what may have happened if .2 were installed! The decision had already been made that my phone should be replaced (purchased at store in January).
I have no idea whether my iPhone was replaced needlessly or not!
Okay so 9.0.2 Solved this problem on my iPhone but on my iPad Mini the problem yet exists. My iPhone is exact and iPad is 5 seconds ahead (Both running 9.0.2)
Ahh darn. Too good to be true. I'll check out my iPad when I get home. Did you try the other things above like resetting the location and privacy? Turning off/on the auto time setting?
Well... 2+ days later after Apple replaced iPhone 6 with new one (iOS 9.0.2)... and all was initially fine...
Inexplicably, I note this morning that phone's clock has drifted +3 seconds from both iMac clock and time.is! This seems like nit picking... but I'll see how things progress! But something (I have no idea what) is clearly amiss!
the old saying of "close enough for government work" may apply here.... just saying
No. If every two days it gains 3 seconds, after less than a month time based authenticators stops working...
Currently my iPhone's clock is only +2 seconds from both iMac and time.is - it keeps drifting back and forth every few days. That's not good, but for my purposes it's not a major problem: I just keep wondering why it can't be stable like my iMac's clock! 😟
My iPhone clock is ahead
