Fajr time in Istanbul

Question: Dear brothers and sisters at Islam & Quran I would like to ask about fajr praying times in Istanbul and the calculation method used. I recently visited Istanbul and noted that the fajr praying occurs later than expected or calculated by a software I use in my smart-phone. My phone uses a sun inclination degree of 16 to calculate the fajr praying but I didn't hear the Adhan until 15 minutes after my smart-phone announcement. This occurred over few nights. Could you advice me about this and also what sun inclination / depression is used in Istanbul.

18 degrees is the basis for the calendar of The Presidency of Religious Affairs. However this is complied in Ramadans only. Out of Ramadan, fajr time adhan is usually recited 1 hour before fajr prayer. Following links provide further information on this topic:
