Don't Use Your iPhone for an Alarm Clock... Until the 3rd.

After New Years, it appears that the alarms set on iPhone's experienced it's own micro-Y2K. iPhones and iPod Touches have been found to have the correct day set, but with the year stuck in 2010. Maybe the iDevices have heard of the supposed impending doom in 2012, and are simply facing denial.

Either way, don't rely on your iPhone to get you up for work or in time for your favorite morning television show. Do they have those?

There is a way to possibly circumvent the alarm, set it up as a recurring alarm. Test it before you trust it though. Apple has commented on the bug and stated they would fix the issue by the 3rd.

Here's their words:
"We're aware of an issue related to non repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2. Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3."
