iPhone alarm glitch to be fixed soon, Apple says

If you were counting on your iPhone�s alarm clock to get you out of bed on New Year�s Day, dream on.

Many iPhone users have reported problems with the alarm clocks on their phones failing to go off on either Jan. 1 or 2. Hundreds of comments about the problem have been posted on a discussion board on Apple�s website. A flood of tweets also flagged the issue on Twitter.

�(W)hen you spend upwards of $1000 on a phone with alarm functionality, you expect it to work, without the need for a second alarm clock!� wrote a user calling himself Greg123456.

Natalie Harrison, a spokeswoman for Apple, confirmed the company is aware of a problem with non-recurring alarms in a statement to Macworld.com � a website devoted to reporting on Macintosh products � and said it would be fixed by Monday.

�We�re aware of an issue related to nonrepeating alarms set for January 1 or 2,� Harrison told Macworld. �Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3.�

This isn�t the first time iPhone users have had a rude (non-) awakening due to alarm clock troubles. Back in November, the switch from daylight-saving time to standard time caused a similar glitch for iPhone as well as iPod touch users.
