Time difference between Greece and France that I didn’t notice because of my iPhone

uncategorized

便利な機能にも思わぬ落とし穴が…。

I was flying from Paris to Athens. The screenshot above is the flight time, but it took 5 hours to get there, but only 3 hours to get back.

When I went from west to east and from east to west, I thought that the time might change a little between Athens and Paris because it is a long distance.

However, there was no sign of the plane landing even at 11:50, the arrival time of the return flight…. The transfer time at the Paris airport was 1 hour and 30 minutes, and I was getting a little worried.

When I eventually arrived in Paris, it was 12:50 on my iPhone. However.

“Maybe…”

When I arrived in Paris, I turned off the iPhone’s airplane mode again and connected it to SFR, which is covered by a packet flat rate, and the iPhone time was back to 11:50.

Yes, there is a time difference between Greece and France, isn’t there?

It seems that I misunderstood the guidebook. I thought it was strange to have the same time difference between France and Greece, though they are quite far apart.

それにしてもどうして帰りの便まで気がつかなかったのか、その要因は、もうご想像のとおりです、ずばりiPhoneにあります。

現地時間はGPSを利用して自動的に調整されるんですよね。ギリシャについてiPhoneをネットにつなげた時に自動的に調整されていたことに気がつかなかったようです。

もちろんギリシャ国内では正確に時間が反映されていましたので、観光に支障が出ることはありませんでしたが、便利なものにも意外な落とし穴があるんだなあと思いました。
