Phones have replaced alarm clocks, along with many other appliances, to become our default wake-up calls in the morning. So reliable are the little computers that sit by our bedside, that we’ve forgotten that, like laptops and PCs, they’re prone to bugging out.
Well, it seems some iPhone owners recently received a rude awakening to that prospect. Social media is currently littered with grumpy posts from people who overslept after their iPhone alarms didn’t go off. Naturally, appointments were missed and awkward glances were exchanged at work. Try telling your boss you were late because your iPhone didn’t chirp in the morning.
