Reset iPhone Alarms To Avoid Daylight Savings Time Glitch - LANewsMonitor.com

Reset iPhone Alarms To Avoid Daylight Savings Time Glitch:  Some technology websites reported that the Apple’s iPhone OS- the iOS- has been hit by a bug that was causing alarms to go off an hour late after the clocks went back in the UK. The problem was noticed a few weeks earlier when Australians switched to Daylight Savings Time, but it was not fixed at that time and it grabbed headlines when the bug hit the UK.

Apple admitted that the iOS is facing the issue and assured that it would soon release a patch for fixing  daylight savings time problem. But Apple failed to release the daylight savings time update on time and it is expected that the fix would be released today, but it would be too late as the American clocks have gone back by now.

North-Americans would face problems if they would rely on their iPhone to wake and it would be better they manually re-set their alarm or make use of some other means to wake up on time. An alarm clock will be the best option.

Many tech websites reported that the bug is dangerous and they have published urgent reminders to their readers warning of the potential dangers of the bug. Although it is a small problem but Apple’s reluctance to release the fix on time has made it big issue and now it is expected that Apple will have to release a fairly substantial patch as some other iOS bugs have also came to light in the last few weeks. One bug allows individuals to gain access to an iPhone’s contacts when the phone is locked.
