Apple has confirmed an iOS bug that left the iPhone without functioning alarms on January 1st 2011. As the New Year was rung in, iPhone alarms remained curiously silent.
Apple spokesperson Natalie Harrison told Macworld that the the bug had been officially recognized, and would fix itself on January 3rd. “We’re aware of an issue related to non repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2. Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3.” Harrison told Macworld.
The alarm code in iOS seems to be pretty buggy. This latest problem follows a bug that caused alarms to sound an hour late when both Europe and the U.S flipped over from daylight saving time at the end of the summer.
Today is the third, and judging by the fact that The Lady made it out of the house on time this morning, iPod Touch alarms are working fine. On the other hand, she has a curious habit of leaving recurring alarms running on my iPod Touch, waking me at all sorts of odd hours, so it could be that.
