The time zone is a good point, and I appreciate your taking the risk to
answer that side question in a helpful manner.

In another thread, others said that their clock app doesn't request
location permission.

Besides, isn't the *time* obtained from the *carrier* signal itself?

I don't know. 
My clock seems to be doing fine without knowing where I am, at least while
I'm still in the same time zone.

Does anyone know how the clock gets its time?
Does it get it from the carrier?
