Apple working to fix alarming iPhone issue

12 comments

For the click-bait avoiders: the issue the article mentions is that some iPhones' alarms aren't going off.
This has been an issue in the past for me as well, so I hope they fix it fully.
- Holy shit clickbait to the max, “Issues with alarm” = “Alarming iPhone issue”, it’s hilarious
  
  I suspected something like this and didn't reward them with a click. I want news without sensationalism and all the "slamming" and other bullshit.
- It's been a problem for years. I cannot use the standard bedtime alarm. From my experience, it seems it may be an issue if you have the "focus" change it's state at the same time as your alarm goes off.
  
  I think I finally isolated my issue with the alarms. It’s CarPlay. It resets my alarm audio to 0% after I disconnect. I just set up an “audio level reset” shortcut that sets alarm volume to 80% and set it to run when CarPlay disconnects.
- I’ve had some failed alarms this week, my iPhone alarm had been fairly reliable before. Not sure why it’s suddenly gone awry.
  Thankfully I have the bedroom lights set to turn on at the same time as the alarm is set, so I still get woken up. Yay home automation!
The best phone on the world. iPhone users don't need alarms anyways, i live better than my president
