IIRC, Apple uses something similar to RFC 7808 to keep time zones up to date. More vendors need to start doing this. On 11/1/18 10:41 AM, Dave DeLong wrote:
iOS devices do OTA updates of the tzdb, but they require a device restart to take effect.

We Moroccans didn't know about the change also before Friday, our government didn't take the time to neither study nor discuss the matter with us. And the real issue, is that Android devices (maybe iOS devices, I'm not sure) update the tzdb only via a system upgrade/patch, and we know that Android OEMs rarely update their devices, so Moroccans will stay impacted for a long time, and non-tech people don't have the necessary skills to change the timezone manually.
