Ok folks why we are not able to set our alarm 2 or 3 days in advance with our iPhones? I believe the Samsung Galaxy does. I would like to see those changes in our iPhones.
 
You can set a calendar alert a few days ahead. I think the purpose of the alarm is to have it to off every day to get you up, or something similar.
You could also use the reminders app to accomplish what you're describing.
 
I see what you guys are saying. I just thought it would of been cool to be able to set alarms a few days in advance.
 
I also wish it can some customizable settings, i.e. weekly, monthly, every other day. Yeah, I know I can do a calendar entry, but using an alarm is preferred.

There is a weekly option.


Think of it as most alarm clocks next to your bed. They go off everyday at the same time unless there is a setting to stop it on the weekends.

And it also has the skip weekend option.
