DST error: Apple iOS would rather spring back-CNET

Apple's iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad had once again find it difficult to adjust for daylight saving time.

Frustrated U.S. iDevice users on Facebook, Twitter and the Apple forums at the weekend, their gadgets griefed fell back rather than jump forward an hour.

Means many alarms went off went out at the wrong times yesterday and today, to make people late for appointments, Church and by way of derogation from the second people do on Sunday morning (which for me just not wake me up).

"Thank you iPod Touch and iPhone to make me late for work! DST is not functioning correctly, "wrote Twitter user iSiC_XXIII.

Wrote Twitter user meemnoonwowrah: "wife's iPhone a restart is required to set DST time switch. My Android phone was automatically. Even MS has corrected. Come on Apple. Step up ya game. "

The fix is easy, according to PCMag.com. "Either Turn the phone off and turn it on again, or go to the device's settings and change aircraft map mode, and then flip it."

This behavior mirrors the error that hit European and Australian and New Zealand iPhone owners last year when they switch from daylight saving time back to GMT. The problem could be hit Europe again in several weeks. Apple has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Additional time measurement problems came up at 2. January, when non-again alarms could not go, then determined randomly himself the following day.

Maybe Apple needs to hire a CCO (chief watchmaker profession officer) who can tune up these units back up?
