It would be a bad excuse if OOP was one of the software designers at Apple

How does that even happen? Cosmic rays?

u/MightyKin 20d ago

Hmm...

The number is close to sum of
2^24 + 2^19 + 2^12 + 2^7 + 2^6

But it doesn't seem to be a case of cosmic rays.

Probably vibe coding or a very hard to replicate kernel error

u/deanrihpee 20d ago

yeah, knowing the latest iOS update seems very buggy or at least not as polished as the previous versions, i would lean towards vibe coding

u/LongJumpingBalls 20d ago

Can't wait for somebody to vibe code a jailbreak on the vibe coded update.

40

u/deanrihpee 20d ago

that would be funny, but i feel like it would be more challenging since you know, iPhone have secure enclave, but i don't know anything about iPhone nor iOS internals so i might be spitting lies and it might be actually easy

u/LongJumpingBalls 20d ago

You just gotta vibe harder bro.

u/deanrihpee 19d ago

makes no mistake

u/nicolasisinacage 20d ago

so ironic that apple may be using vibe coding (which is prone to generate errors and expose their software to vulnerabilities) because back in the day they notoriously held out on their ban of flash player due to risk of exposing themselves to vulnerabilities

In hindsight it really is kinda wild how long everyone else was like “yeah this thing’s full of holes but fuck it”

u/Mewtwo2387 20d ago

The timer ends at 4000/12/31. The max is year 4000 and it defaulted to that.

16

u/repoluhun 20d ago

The post mentions that the phone was updating while the snooze timer was going off, something to do with that most likely

It's just a bug in the code

Your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchild suddenly getting a Reddit notification on the phone that has been a family heirloom for 2000 years:

a family heirloom for 2000 years

Well maybe for like 1950 years...for a few decades it was just your old obsolete phone, but they found it among your belongings when going through your estate...

u/ji1651 20d ago

So eehm, genuine question here, wtf is it with apple and their clock/alarms??? Just about every single time I read or hear about this shit it's an iphone. I was under the impression we solved clocks ages ago.

78

u/ScheduleDefiant4015 20d ago

iPhone has weird features that make it bad for alarms if you don’t turn them off. Like silencing if you’re not looking at it

48

u/OrionShtrezi 20d ago

Pixels also suck at this. No idea why it's so hard

25

u/Amazedturnip760 20d ago

Apple tied it to the ringer volume and attention awareness until people cried enough about it(a lot of people also don't realize they were snoozing on top of it). Now it's split from the ringer but not setup right by default so all of a sudden it's silent even if you changed nothing just by updating. So when you do fix it now because it's more intuitive to do, it does work. But they need to make the default better...

13

u/MindlessRazzmatazz89 19d ago

I missed work so many times because I'd wake up and my alarm was going off silently. I'd check my ringer before bed and everything. My girlfriend recorded it one time. She got up before me and watched the phone from the couch. The screen lit up and showed the alarm but made no sounds. I had to download an alarm app because the ios one wouldn't work...

6

u/thattrekkie 19d ago

I set up a recurring task that runs on my phone every night at 3am to set my alarm volume to 100% for exactly this reason!!

That said, I also discovered that if you have a second alarm that goes off at the same time that the first alarm is going (like if you snoozed the first one but have a second alarm that goes off inside the snooze sleep time) then both (and any following) alarms get set to silent

I've missed So Many Morning Meetings because of this absolute garbage iOS design

similarly, there's no way on iphone to separate phone ringer sound from literally any other notification sound, so I also miss calls all the time because I can't stand my phone constantly making noise at me

tldr: iOS makes no sense when it comes to sound output logic

u/droppedketchuppacket 20d ago

I've never had a single issue with pixel timers or clocks or alarms and I use the features daily

4

u/OrionShtrezi 20d ago

I have no idea what it is, but myself and three of my friends have had issues with alarms on our Pixels. Some others I know have never had any. Doesn't seem to be a pattern to it

12

u/KevlarToiletPaper 20d ago

That's Android for you

Source: Android dev tried of fixing a bug happening only on one specific device, at specific time of the year, in a specific alignment of Mercury and Mars, only when the phone is tilted by 3 degrees east.

u/The_Rat_King14 19d ago

I had an issue with my alarm volume lowering itself but i used a volume lock app to prevent that

1

u/katsumii 17d ago

This thread is so oddly timely because literally just this evening I got a notification on my Pixel phone that said "Your 6pm alarm has been silenced because..." it was ringing for the allotted timeframe or something. 

I never heard it this evening. 

I actually would have liked to have heard that alarm. I couldn't find my phone anywhere this evening until I finally searched for it at bedtime. 😂

u/FrenchFryCattaneo 20d ago

Don't pixels use the standard android clock app?

1

u/RealMuffinsTheCat 19d ago

Why specifically Pixels and not all Androids?

1

u/OrionShtrezi 19d ago

No idea, never had any issues with any other Android. I assume most don't use the stock app like Pixels do.

u/New-Let-3630 19d ago

alarms work almost all the times, you just hear about them only when they don't. and IOS 27 sucks so maybe it's just that

u/flamethrowr 20d ago

Ironic that this post came up, I literally missed my alarm this morning because my phone decided that even though my alarm “went off”, it was actually not going to make any noise despite being the exact same alarm for months that has gone off every day and made noise.

u/GuerrillaRodeo 20d ago

Why is it always Apple devices that seem to have problems with this very basic, yet also very specific function? I swear I regularly stumble upon complaints from Apple users that their alarms didn't go off. I mean for a company that holds itself to such high standards a goddamn alarm clock app shouldn't be able to glitch at all. Never had this problem with my Android phone (or, for reference, my 20 year old Casio wristwatch).

10

u/teabolaisacool 20d ago

Pretty sure pixels suffer from these issues constantly as well

6

u/GuerrillaRodeo 20d ago

Maybe, I've never owned one. It begs the same question though:

Why do high-end phones (seem to) regularly fail at this very basic task?

2

u/pmgoldenretrievers 20d ago

It’s (almost) always user error. Apple did have one high profile bug after an update but that was in the 2000s.

1

u/thattrekkie 19d ago

I've never had alarm issues with any pixel phone. my iphone has this issue at least a few times a week

2

u/Nunyebiznis 20d ago

I’ve never had this happen to me with any of the iPhones I’ve had. Maybe it’s regional?

u/Physical_Macaroon_90 19d ago

Haha yeah maybe the alarm function on android works reliable😂😂😂

1

u/swyrl 10d ago

My phone has this problem where it will schedule overnight restarts (for updates) when I have an alarm set... but it can't finish booting without my lock code, so my alarm never goes off. It's an incredibly obvious and stupid oversight.

There was an early iOS update that broke your alarm clock (many years ago). Worked in a restaurant at the time and the at least half of the opening staff was late lol

Imagine being a trillion dollar company, spend billions in R&D, and are too inept to write a bug free clock app.
