This is an old article since iOS has added UTC time zone to system settings and clock app.
Android still doesn’t support UTC time zone, and need to use Iceland as hack. Which depends on Iceland not changing their time zone.

I'd pick someplace reasonably close to the equator. Then there is little difference in sunrise and sunset times throughout the year, and there is pretty much no case to be made for DST on sunlight grounds.
Some good choices, if whatever you are trying to set supports any of them:
• Liberia. City of Monrovia if you have to specify by city. There's only 0:43 difference between the longest and shortest daylight periods of the year there.
• Guinea, city of Conakry.
• Togo, city of Lomé.
There are a few other countries in the general area of these three that are on UTC+0 but these three have never had DST so are probably more likely to stay that way.
I disagree. If you get to the north pole or anywhere near the Arctic Circle (where Iceland is), it can still be dark at noon in the winter and light at midnight in the summer. You can't nearly compensate for that with a mere hour change, so why bother?
I've had my own devices set to UTC for the past few years. It made sense for coordinating when my friends are in whichever places of time, especially for online PvP gaming. It worked well when I was working remotely
