Well it's been little over a year since this post http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7353845
The original post revolves around how can I get the right timezone on my iPhone (or Mac OSX for that matter). Every year from March to October (during Daylight savings Time) my clock is always an hour ahead. Why? because the iPhone OS up to 3.1 does not allow you to select REAL timezones, instead of city names. As my city is not available, I choose the city Ponta Delgada, but that city has a DST policy as they are part of Portugal which also observes DST. I would like to choose my timezone; GMT -1 ALL YEAR ROUND with NO Daylight Savings. Well, the question is still unanswered and it kills me is that THIS FORUM observes my timezone properly but any other software that Apple makes does not! I guess there has been a little improvement, since this site now supports the Cape Verde Islands Time Zone (GMT-1).
I have fixed it in OSX with a UNIX hack, but cannot fix it on the iPhone, being a closed system and all. What irks me to no end is that this is such a simple fix and just inconceivable to me why it hasn't been fixed yet! OS X IS a Unix machine after all, and these features (if you can even call them that, I mean timezones? Come On!) are already there you just need to BRING THEM TO THE GUI.
Allow me to choose my timezone, not my city, PLEASE! I know we are a very small country and don't have a lot of people living here, but we do exist and do have computers and we definitely have Macs and iPhones (some legit some not, but that's a topic for another post) and we do like to have the correct time on our machines. I have tried VERY hard to get this message through to Aplle, but to no avail. I have submitted this issue as a feature request (HA! A feature!?), written an email to steve at apple dot com, posted my comments on a lot of people's questions in regards to this very issue with other timezones, but I just get no love!
If you only knew the havoc that this causes me whenever I get a meeting request on my iPhone... man... it is just annoying as ****.
Apple, for the umpteenth time PLEASE FIX THIS!!
