Apple is facing mounting criticism after widespread reports that the iPhone alarm glitch in its latest iOS 26 update has caused users to oversleep, miss work and even miss flights. The problem, which reduces alarm sound levels, became viral when British singer-songwriter Cat Burns posted a TikTok video urging Apple to 'sort it OUT'.
In her clip, the Celebrity Traitors star demonstrated how her alarm produced only a faint 'bur, bur, bur' sound before fading away. She said: 'Why's it whispering to me? I can't wake up to that. Now I'm panicked thinking I'm not gonna wake up in the morning because my alarm is so quiet.'
