Apple's New Alarm Design in iOS 26 Might Make You Oversleep

[ComeHomeBillyBird]

I wanted this exact improvement for a simple reason: When I wake up I don't have my glasses on so I bloody CAN'T READ the button labels (let alone a white label on a yellow/orange button, which has awful accessibility). And as I never remember which one the grey is and which one the orange is I pick randomly.
Anyway, best workarounds for me:
- Disable any Snooze option
- Try to go to bed early so I don't feel like a zombie when alarm goes off...
Welcoming the new design anyway!

All I know is that my life will be forever changed now that I can set snooze to 10 minutes. I have never understood 9 minutes and it’s driven me absolutely bonkers my entire life! 😆

I hope my boss will install the iOS 26 beta soon, then he can understand why I overslept and was 2 hours late to the office yesterday

I never snooze, so it's always an error on my part if I hit the snooze button, which I have done more than once because the snooze button is so prominent, I was barely awake and didn't have my glasses on. So what I would like is a switch to disable snooze. But I doubt that will happen.

The new design isn’t just less functional it’s ugly. It’s like baby’s first web page with giant obnoxious buttons. Is there nobody left at Apple with any taste?

Beta 2 has made some welcome improvements but they were unforced errors that shouldn’t have been there in the first place. I’m not confident that the design team is up to the challenge.

I'm failing to see the liquid glass touch here. Looks like a geriatric version of a smart phone.

Sounds like Apple used to put a lot more care into their design decisions. Now they just change crap for the sake of changing crap.

Either way won’t really affect me. I use five alarms to wake up each morning.
