I work on a sometimes offline educational product for children. Kids for some reason love to mess with their system clocks.
The hoops we've tried jumping through to get a reasonable time frame of events from iPads that were offline for any period of time is hilarious.
We gave up, and if the time of events is unreasonable, we just shift the entire set waiting to be synced so the first one is sync time. It's not perfect, it's not even really good, but it's gotten the least complaints.

- dekleinewolf 4y agoMy dad has some insomnia problems and used to play a lot of Candy Crush. His iPad was like 2 centuries ahead because moving the system time would give him extra lives. He couldn't practically move it back because then he'd have to wait another 2 centuries to get lives again. So his iPad was 2 centuries ahead until he completed Candy Crush.
