A little chaos in Canada: local iPhones have switched to winter time a week early

Canadian iPhone owners woke up this morning with phones that can't tell time. As people are reporting on social media, it looks like iPhones have switched to winter time almost a week early - in Canada, the switch isn't due until next Sunday.

Notably, the problem seems to be affecting only some carriers, suggesting that the problem may not be solved by Apple, but by the carriers themselves. Some people have been able to fix the situation by going into the Settings app and turning off and on the automatic time setting again.

This isn't the first time iPhones have suffered from this problem, and it's unlikely to be the last. However, this is the first time the problem has been carrier-dependent. Other times, it has been linked to a particular version of iOS or, when it has affected the Apple Watch, to the version of watchOS.
