Orlando
Background: using “sunset to sunrise” option for night shift or auto dark mode uses the system time zone location to determine sunset and sunrise times (settings/general/date & time). I'm using T-Mobile and Verizon (dual SIM), and have the same time zone location appearing regardless of which line is active when the phone reboots.

Problem: I’m in Central Florida, leaving my phone set to automatically set time chooses New York for the time zone location instead of the much more accurate choice of Miami. Dark mode enables for me currently at 6:25PM instead of 7:02PM, which is the current sunset time for Orlando. Miami is much closer to accurate with sunset at 6:59PM, but there is no option to manually set time zone location while leaving the clock to auto set. FWIW, use location for time zone is enabled under privacy settings.

Is anyone else in Eastern Time Zone seeing any other city than New York appear when date & time is set to automatic?
