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.
