I am not an iPhone user, but has anyone else here been affected?

Rotten Apple?

so a lot of Appleheads were late for their family dinner appointments on New Year's day?

Sounds devastating.

Bizarre. I set an alarm for today and it didn't sound but when I changed the date to tomorrow it worked just fine.

True... if this had been some other phone it wouldn't have made the news. Maybe crackberry would...

Both my wife and my phone had this issue this morning. Alarm set for 5:15am to go cycle and nada....Woke up close to 7 thinking the sun had risen earlier

Think it was for once off alarms, mine is set to weekdays 4:30 in the morning, and I also did not have a problem (on the one morning I wished it would not go off)

Because you didn't set a once-off alarm?

Apple's acknowledged the problem, but I'm curious to why the problem sorted itself today.

[COMMENT FROM APPLE (not really)] The phone works fine, your head is in the wrong place to hear the alarms properly. Sleep with your head approx 2.5cm from the phone placed at a 12degree angle and you will always hear the alarm[/END STATEMENT]

Umm, apple acknowledged there was a problem.

Love the article heading by the way.

This is carnage, not a mobile phone alarm going off.
