I just turned on my new 16e after shutting it down for a few hours, and when I unlocked it, the time showed 11:40. But then, a minute later, it changed to 10:15! When I double-checked the world clock, it indeed showed 10:15 for my time zone. My phone's time zone is correctly set to my city, and I'm on version 18.4.1 with 100 GB of storage left. This is bizarre, especially since it didn't just jump to 11:15, which could hint at a glitch with a time zone an hour ahead. Plus, while I was looking at the time later, the numbers distorted for a second, almost like they melted before returning to normal. Has anyone experienced something similar or have an idea of what's going on? Also, just to clarify for anyone wondering – no drugs involved, and I have a carbon monoxide detector!

Honestly, this sounds like a bug in iOS 18. It's been pretty glitchy for a lot of people. I've dealt with more stable systems in the past, like Windows Vista! You might just want to keep an eye on it, and hopefully, the next update will fix these quirks.
Sounds like your phone might not have synced correctly with the network time when you turned it back on. If you switched it off around 11:40, it could've just been showing the last recorded time before it updated. Phones can be a bit weird like that, especially when they're powered off for a while! Check if you're in a time zone that has a 30-minute difference, as that's also a thing in some places.
Yes, some countries have that weird half-hour offset. It's not super common, but it exists in places like India or parts of Australia.
Yeah, I did turn it off around that time! So you think it stuck on that time for a minute? And what about those time zones that are 30 minutes different? Never heard of that before!
