I've heard that people who live near time zone boundaries (very near, like
within a mile or two) often have to switch automatic setting off, because
the time might be an hour off depending on which tower their phone connects
to. the annual switches to and from daylight saving time can cause one-hour
discrepancies too. Fortunately, in this case, turning automatic setting off
and then turning it back on forces a re-sync, thus supplying your phone with
the right time.

As someone who crosses time zone boundaries with relative frequency, I can
tell you that the iPhone does indeed set it's time zone automatically, based
on information the phone gets from the cellular network.

I'm pretty sure you have to set the time zone that is displayed. It
does not change based on location. Although one col writ an app that
would do that. There are MANY clock apps some show multiple time
zones. Interannly the phone uses GMT (offset zero)
