IT Comms news: iPhone - Wake you up before you Go Go!
Who, like me, uses an iPhone as
an alarm to wake them up in the morning? If you
do, beware of an
iPhone bug already seen in Australia when they
switched between Daylight Standard Time and Standard time a
few weeks ago. Apparently people were being woken up an hour
later than usual!
Despite the iOS clock changing
correctly, the alarm did not. Apple has acknowledged the issue and
promised to issue a fix via a software update. That's great, but
why didn't Apple do it in time to avoid this mess in Europe?
Apple now has a week
to make the switch in north America otherwise there will be hell to
pay.
So, if you're reading this in North
America, do what I did, and use your work BlackBerry to wake you up
- that worked fine! If you don't have one then do what we did
in the old days and buy an alarm clock! If like me you are a
manager of people warn your team now so there is no excuse
for being late!
