Apple's Next iOS Release to Include Fix for Daylight Saving Time Bug

are you serious?

how's about they fix the blue/green/red/yellow tint on the iphone 4's camera...

or the not live updating ****ed up playlists on the iphone?!?!?
 
Connectivity issues

FAR more interested in getting them to fix whatever it was in 4.1 that broke functionality with some car stereo head units and other accessories.
 
Oh hooray this really is a bug!
I've been having this problem and was wondering whether it was just me doing something wrong.
Suppose we just reset alarms for now.
(Australia iPhone 4 iOS4.1)
 
Anyone else think that the announcement of this fix is oddly in sync with the release of the new jailbreak tool?

Just sayin'
 
iPhone incorrectly changed time

My iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.1 changed it's time when daylight saving started. However, my state does not have daylight saving but the time was one hour ahead.

Turning the iPhone off and on again fixed the problem.
 
I wonder if this is akin to the bug in American phones where the time is off?

Yeh, Queensland doesn't have DST, my phone timezone was set to automatic and it still applied DST and woke me at 5am instead of 6am. Switching it off automatic, it immediately knew I was in Brisbane and corrected the time. However the next day my alarm went off at 5am again even though the alarm was set to 6am and the phone clock was set to 6am, turning all recurring alarms on and off seemed to corrected it. No idea if that works in an area using DST.

To be fair, NZ did change when their daylight savings was meant to happen recently

That was three years ago. We'd been through six DST transitions using the current dates before this bug cropped up, so why did it suddenly cause issues with the seventh transition? The bug appears to have been introduced in iOS 4, which is much newer than the 2007 DST rules, and therefore the 2007 rules shouldn't be related to this problem.
 
This explains much of my confusion.

I was less than pleased when I woke up an hour earlier than I had already planned to after a very poor night of sleep before an exam.
 
Amazing apple will have to release a 160MB patch to fix this, I mean a new version to correct it.

A 500mb download to apply a 50kb bug fix to a 10mb app.

Apple needs to change the way they update their first party apps.
