Despite being one of the few individuals who had to work New Year's Eve to 10pm this year as well as the morning shift the next day at 9am, I was still determined to ring in the New Year with friends and a couple of drinks.
My only saving grace was an iPhone that would wake me up after only a couple hours of sleep to get ready for my shift on the morning of January 1st. But to my dismay, my iPhone alarm clock did not activate!!! Luckily, I slept over at a friend's with my fiancee on an uncomfortable twin bed. I woke up almost hourly that night and my internal clock sensed something was wrong.
Furious at Apple, I googled, "iPhone alarm clock not working" and to my surprise there was already a post on PC Magazine outlining the issue. Apparently there is a glitch on iPhones running firmware 4.0 or later for the alarm clock where the alarm does not activate on January 1st or 2nd, 2011 unless a reoccurring alarm is set. How is this possible?
I work as a pharmacist and if I missed work, they would not be able to open the store at all let alone the pharmacy in our jurisdiction. There would have be a lot of explaining to do to my employer from all the lost revenue!
Damn you Apple!
