iPhone Alarm Rings In 2011 By Not Ringing

If you missed church yesterday, you can blame your iPhone alarm for not going off thanks to a glitch. You’ll have to start working on those New Year’s resolutions next week. People around the globe complained of being affected by this problem on Facebook and Twitter and news agencies have also picked up the story.

From Yahoo! News:

Apple said in a message sent to Macworld magazine that the California-based company was aware of the problem. “We’re aware of an issue related to non-repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2,” spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said.

“Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3.”

The iPhone 4 and other models running the latest version of iOS are reported as being affected.

Is there an app for explaining to your boss why you were late to work? Do you even have an iPhone?
