Apple says it is working quickly to fix an issue that caused some iPhone alarms not to play a sound, giving their slumbering users an unexpected lie-in.
For many people, their phone is an indispensable alarm clock and some over-sleepers turned to social media to vent.
One TikTokker complained that she had set “like five alarms” and they didn’t go off.
Apple has confirmed it is aware of the issue – but is yet to spell out what it believes is causing it, or what users can do to avoid a late start.
It is also unclear how many people are affected or whether the problem is restricted to particular models of iPhone.
