Nuked Hey there, tech enthusiasts! It’s your buddy Nuked here, ready to untangle the latest buzz in the world of smartphones. Let’s dive into the quirky world of Apple’s alarm issues that just won’t quit!
So, it turns out that Apple’s built-in alarm feature has been acting a bit like a rebellious teenager. Last April, after NBC’s Today morning show raised an eyebrow, Apple admitted there were some reliability hiccups and promised a fix. But guess what? Some users are still running into trouble!
According to Android Authority, a Reddit user named bryanlolwut shared a post that really caught some attention. They set their alarm for 10:30 AM, but instead, it decided to wake them up at 12:42 PM — and that was the time displayed on their Apple Watch! Talk about a rude awakening!
As of Thursday, the comments on that Reddit thread are buzzing with similar tales of alarm mischief. One user, Slawek_Zupa, shared that their morning alarm went off silently for 40 minutes before finally giving up. Another poor soul reported their alarm blaring at 5 PM instead of the intended 7 AM. Oops!
The thread is filled with users still hanging onto iOS 17 or those who have already jumped to iOS 18 with Apple Intelligence. Some have even tried disabling the Attention Awareness Features, which are supposed to adjust the alarm volume based on whether you’re looking at your phone. But alas, for many, this has been as effective as a chocolate teapot!
We reached out to Apple regarding this ongoing saga, but we’re still waiting for a response. Personally, I’ve noticed my iPhone pulling a similar stunt — no sound or vibrations in the morning, just a lifeless notification like it had an existential crisis!
Fortunately, I’ve got my trusty Google Pixel 8 Pro as a backup to keep me on schedule. I’m also experimenting with the Nintendo Alarmo app — but let’s just say my wife is getting tired of hearing Zelda shout at Link to wake up! Some mornings just need a little less adventure and a lot more snooze time!
So there you have it! The saga of Apple’s alarm troubles continues. Stay tuned for more tech updates and remember: if your alarm fails you, there’s always backup (and maybe a little less Zelda yelling)!
