iPhone Alarms Hit By New Year's Bug

Posted by Soulskill on from the wake-up-and-smell-t dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Non-recurring iPhone alarms stopped working on January 1 for devices running iOS 4.02, 4.1, and 4.2.1. Apparently, it will fix itself by January 3, and the current workaround is to set the alarm to repeat. My girlfriend wasn't impressed, sleeping in, and I wasn't either, having to race her to work!"

    See, this is why you need to convince your girlfriend to get into the habit of morning sex. There is no alarm clock more reliable than the human wang and as an added bonus there is no snooze button either :P

    This just isn't a plausible claim. As if "anonymous reader" has a girlfriend. Now I've heard everything.

    You are nothing but a hypocrite and an apple fanboi. Your comment history does suggest that you were jumping up and down on much more trivial bugs than this when it was other companies who were at fault, but when it comes to apple, it 'just happens, and gets fixed'.

    It's because of douches like you I stay away from apple. Go, Steve Jobs is waiting for his next blowjob.
