In one out of the one trials I've expected OSX to automatically set the clock ("automatically change time zone") it hasn't. This touches on to the relevant point of DST. I no longer have to worry about changing clocks; the worry has been replaced by the confusion over whether all my clocks have changed or none have. At a bare minimum I'd expect any change of time zone to prompt the user. |

Especially when you set the alarm for the next morning - and you know that DST kicks in but you have no way of knowing whether your phone knows that. And you can't change time beforehand because you don't know whether the phone will respect that or change the time back or make the change twice...
I found out that the stock android alarm app solves this (somewhat), when an alarm is set a notification tells you how many hours (and minutes) remain until the alarm goes off and this takes DST changes into account so you can see that it got it right.
Apple has succeeded in getting this wrong several years in row with the iPhone, quite embarrassing - and made much worse by the fact that you as a user can not prepare for it.
