Apple has acknowledged and is swiftly addressing a problem causing certain iPhone alarms to malfunction, leading users to oversleep due to sound absence.
For many, smartphones serve as indispensable alarm clocks, making the issue particularly frustrating. Disappointed users took to social media, including TikTok, to express their grievances. Some shared stories of setting multiple alarms that failed to go off as intended.
While Apple has acknowledged the issue, specifics regarding its cause or preventative measures for users remain undisclosed.
It is uncertain to what extent the problem is and how it impacts specific iPhone models. In the midst of this uncertainty, Apple’s decision to offer rare discounts on the iPhone 15 in China and the identification of overheating issues in the same model have added to the company’s ongoing challenges.
In the absence of an official fix, affected users may try simple remedies. Suggestions include double-checking alarm settings and ensuring the phone’s volume is audible.
Speculations have arisen regarding Apple’s “attention-aware features,” which could automatically lower alert volumes if the device detects user engagement. Users speculate that if a sleeping user’s face is near the screen, these features might mute alarms.
Apple has assured prompt resolution, but until then, users may need to rely on traditional alarm clocks. Amidst the digital dilemma, the steady tick-tock of a conventional timepiece may offer a more reliable wake-up call than TikTok.
