The glitch affected me for the first two days, but after deleting all clocks, and alarms, then respringing, adding back my clocks and alarms, it seemed two work just fine.

By Jan. 3, this was fixed. Move along OP (swoloiu).

True, but if you know that there is a problem then it is up to you to have a backup plan.

I didn't know there was a problem when I padi £599 for my iPhone.

it caused 3 lakers to miss or be late to a shootaround before a game

"Three Lakers in all said they did not get up on time because the alarm clocks on their iPhones malfunctioned that morning, but Gasol was the only one who didn't show up at all, sources said. Luke Walton was one of the other two Lakers who arrived late. The third Laker was not identified but sources said it was not Kobe Bryant."

I use my iPhone as my main alarm, why not? If it has the capability why not use it? But i was late for school monday because my alarm did not go off, and i got 2 detentions for "truancy" because not waking up on time for school is not a good enough excuse for my school.

And then the alarm went off on your iPhone ending the nightmare!!!

TROLL DETECTED. Who buys a Windows phone especially because of an alarm bug? That is an automatic troll label

Dear GM, please buy me a new car. This one ran out of gas.

Who is responsible for waking you up? YOU.

Is it crappy that there was a bug with the alarm, yes. Is there a way we could have known about the issue before hand, probably not. Is it Apple's fault that the alarm didn't work, yes. Is it Apple's fault you didn't wake up on time? No.

The world (Especially the world of tech) is not perfect, we know this. It's time people start becoming responsible for themselves.

That is stupid. First of all, I doubt this is a real bug. Nobody actually had the issue except for a couple of trolls who claimed that they got a new phone because of it.

Secondly, the alarm clock is responsible for waking you up. Would you be mad at your cable company if they stopped service? Or is internet access your job?

To put it into perspective, it's not as annoying as many other bugs in the iP4. The next gen has got to be better than this odd bird.

No issues for me. I use 2 alarms per day.
