I love this post.
They have always used it on their phones and yet apple created it and it is an innovation. Ha.
My only problem with the stinking alarm is that apple engineers can't seem to remember to program for Daylight savings time. I mean how many times are they going to forget that in the US, Time changes? I mean it really really really is getting on my nerves.
The alarm clock on the iPhone features extensive alarm settings and a variety of pre-installed sounds. You should explore the various features of the iPhone alarm clock before you set it for an important meeting.
Bring up the "Clock" menu on your iPhone. Press the icon on the main page that looks like a common office clock.
Touch the "Alarm" key in the "Clock" menu to summon the options for your alarm clock. You can set the time and date of your next alarm by pressing the plus symbol (+) next to "Alarm" in the "Clock" menu.
Schedule future alarms with the "Repeat" feature on your iPod. You can use the same time and sound settings on consecutive days, weeks or months by pressing "Repeat" after you set the initial alarm. You can review your calendar and press the dates for your alarm.
Activate the "Snooze" feature on your iPhone. Turn "Snooze" on and off by searching through the "Clock" menu for alarm settings.
Select the sound you want to wake up to. You can adjust alarm sound options in the "Alarm settings" section. The iPhone comes with several tones and offers full access to your iTunes library.
Confirm that your alarm is set without entering your iPhone's "Clock" menu. You should see a black-and-white clock in the upper line of your iPod's main screen if an alarm has been set.
Label different alarms to indicate activities you must do at the sound of the alarm. After you set the time, date and sound for each alarm, you can use a text field to write a note to yourself as a reminder about the alarm's purpose

"iphone alarm is quite annoying! - You set the alarm for everyday at 9am and at times you are awake before that due to some reason, and during such days you are on call and at 9am the alarm start buzzing you and you feel that sound and vibration right through your ear! how irritating and shocking is that?!
Or at times you are listening to music and as you have set the alarm somewhere back, along with your song it starts to play the alarm.. cmon alarm is an alarm and not a reminder."
