Its a feature, honest.

It will probably fix itself after this week when the time actually changes, so if Apple doesn't come out with a software update before then it would be useless till next year.

You're entering it wrong!

"Undocumented feature" as they call it. Between this and the lock screen bypassing I'm not as confident in iOS as I used to be.

What an amazing excuse to be late for work. I wish I had an iPhone and then showed them this article as I strolled in late and refreshed.

Hahaha that's funny because my mother in law used that on me when she arrived for work an hour late. I now see that she wasn't lying...

 

[alyoshka]

Maybe they kept it Sideways..............?
Not the way the Alarm and Clock thought they were meant to go off.....

Steve must have bit somebody's arm off because of this after all the hoohah about how great the alarm on the iphone is 😛

A bug to throw off your entire day? There's an app for that.

 

[mavroxur]

You're setting it wrong!

I wonder if it's the same bug as made Cisco IP phones around the globe change from daylight savings time a week early?

My confidence in Apples products are diminishing rapidly. You pay a price premium for Apple products that 'just work' and yet it seems to be problem after another with the iphone 4. Although i doubt this will greatly affect the colossal consumer confidence that Apple has garnered over the years.

 

[wmalinowski]

I just have to wonder did Apple did ever TEST product before releasing it? Seriously sounds that they did not.

Its the reality distortion radiation from the phone, according to Steve its the users who aren't brainwashed enough to realise that its actually they who are in error - its not the hardware!

WOW! this is great, I've been late for work for the last 2 days, and my boss didn't believe me (I think) when I told him my iphone alarm wasn't going off.

sending this article to him right now (ok maybe after work.. and yeah I thought yesterday was just a one-day thing and relied on the i-phone alarm today as well 😛)

Strange, my alarm works just fine, and it is not one of those two mentioned alarms.

I would feel sorry for you for missing work and your boss giving you sh**, but honestly, I can't. You bought an iPhone.

Now don't go around calling me apple basher, sure, but honestly with apple doing the way it is these days, and the ongoing list of problems with their newer line-up, it is clear no go territory

don't worry I hate apple too. I change computers a lot, and next time I format my computer I won't be able to use my iphone / ipod (or risk losing all my bought movies/songs/tv shows etc which sum up to around 500$) as I've already used up all my 5 computers (yeah I format a lot and I have 1 desktop and 2 laptops hehe)

go figure.

my next phone will be a bberry, coupled with a playbook.

Funny, my iPod touch changed times incorrectly. Still another 6 days to go....
