How did my iPhone change time zones while on airplane mode? (alien.top)

So I flew from central time zone to pacific time zone, and my iPhone was on airplane mode the entire flight. During the flight (I checked about every hour), the time remained central time. However, when I landed, I took out my phone, and noticed it had changed to pacific time. It was still on airplane mode, and it wasn’t connected to Wi-Fi or any Bluetooth device. Usually the time zone changes after I get out of airplane mode, but this was the first time it did it while staying in airplane mode, anyone know why? Thanks

Airplane mode doesn't turn off GPS/location services, so your phone knew where it was and therefore what time zone it was in.
