iPhone 13 clock running 25 minutes behind!

Hello. I have an iPhone 13 mini. Two days ago, I went to an Apple store to have the internal battery replaced. Now I have two problems. First problem: The clock is 25 minutes slow. What can I do?

Do you think this has anything to do with the battery being replaced, or is that just a coincidence?

It seems unlikely but we cannot know for sure. You have done everything we can think to troubleshoot. I suggest you make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the store that did the battery replacement. Let them run diagnostics and try to figure this out. Good luck. And please let us know the resolution.

All is well! I returned to the store and the gentleman who replaced the battery fixed the problem in seconds. He went to Settings > General > Date & Time. It was already set to Set Automatically, so he unset it, then set it again. Et voila! The time set itself correctly and my other problem, which I haven't brought into this thread, corrected itself as well. What a relief! Thank you, Carol B and sberman, for your help!
