There are millions of users around the world who wake up every day to that devilish iPhone tune, some of us get up for the simple fact of not hearing it anymore, but, in recent days, some failures of the alarm system of these iPhones have caused many users to arrive late to work or miss important appointments… Why? Because the alarm has fallen asleep!
What is happening with iPhone and its alarms?
The iOS 17 and iOS 18 versions have decided to disable the alarm functionality… imagine the chaos. Many have not been able to start their day correctly because their alarms have not sounded at the time they should have.
So, as a result of this failure, the networks have been flooded with people from different countries very angry because this failure could have cost them their jobs…
Has Apple made any statement?
Yes, they have publicly acknowledged that they have discovered a flaw in the iOS alarm system but that they are still working on a solution. They have not given specific details about the origin of this error either, but they have been working on a solution that they will release in the next few days to correct this error.
Apple has also recommended that users use external applications or other devices while the problem is being solved, so dust off your bedside clock, it’s back in the game.
Users’ anger
It is normal that in this context, many would be angry with Apple, let’s keep in mind that alarms are practically essential for our daily life since we do not have roosters in the barn that chirp at dawn, so, many users fully trust their mobile phones to wake up. The community, on social networks, has expressed a mixture of humor and frustration because they have never had problems with their iPhones before.
