iPhone Clock Glitch Strikes Again


The iPhone clock is getting it wrong again for thousands in the US and Canada with the end of Daylight Savings.

Clocks in North America are due to go forward one hour Sunday morning, But instead, many iPhone owners are reporting their devices automatically went back an hour meaning alarms won't go off at the set time.

In the US, it's reported the glitch is hitting AT&T as well as Verizon phones.

It seems switching your phone off and on again should solve the problem.

It's by no means the first time iPhone clocks have gone badly wrong. At New Year, the device alarm stopped working and one woman claimed she lost her job because of it.

And last year when daylight saving started, iPhone alarms went off an hour late meaning thousands failed to turn up for work on time.

It's amazing that Apple can produce such a sophisticated smartphone, but get a simple function like a clock so wrong. Presumably the same glitch will hit other countries as their clocks change to end or start Daylight Savings.
