Once again, the iPhone has managed to mess up daylight savings time, frustrating smartphone owners.
The smartphone sent time back one hour instead of "springing" it forward one hour, leaving iPhone owners two hours behind.
Last fall, when the phones were supposed to "fall" an hour back, they didn't.

When I woke up yesterday and saw that my iPhone didn't "spring forward" I immediately assumed it was an iOS issue. Logged on to some forums, did some searching, made some posts.
Called my sister. Because my sister (in MA) and I (in SC) both have a Verizon iPhone, both with 4.2.6. Her's updated, mine did not. I decided to turn off automatic updating, which, when I did so, the time magically corrected itself (the part Apple controls). When I turned automatic updating back on (set from the tower)? Time reverted back. Oh, and my wife's phone (just a "feature" phone)? Also did not "spring forward." Since that is a Samsung Intensity, hard for that to be an Apple issue, too, no?
Anyway, I called Verizon, and they confirmed that my area had this as a known issue at the towers, and it was currently being worked as a Level 1 Priority.
So let's all not just hop on the easy bandwagon of "Apple's fault" on this one...
the time on my iphone 4 changed just like it was supposed to. did the same last time change. same thing with my fiance's iphone 4 and her brother and parents' iphone 3gs. sounds like rubish.
um it can its because George bush extended it on both ends ... well for the people who live on the west coast thats what screwed it up and apple has not adjusted the software fore it if all you have to do is sync it up with itunes
