    Anyone who relies on a smartphone as their only source of alarms for anything as vital as work has only themselves to blame. Buy an alarm clock!

    I wonder if a trained Moose would be a good alarm clock?

    Realises Moose cannot be trained!

    My alarm clock doesn't understand DST, either.

    Mine does

    But given that the date the clocks change if well advertised, it doesn't take a genius to put the clock forward when they go to bed on the Saturday evening, ready for the "real" time on Sunday morning. And if you're still having problems on the Monday morning, then you've got bigger problems than being an hour late for work...

    Indeed. Although DST in general is a waste of time. On average, it doesn't save any energy, and it just messes people up. :\

    Presumably, because it has all the same flaws, minus a GSM module.

    You got it entirely wrong there!

    It is Android phones which are cheap,buggy,unreliable and are general rubbish. They will also lose market share like a lead balloon when people see the light and get an iPhone even if they can only afford a £50 phone.

    If you don't continuously re-mortgage your house to buy the latest Apple gear, you're just not cool enough, anyway.

    Re: News - iPhone clock glitch strikes again

    My alarm clock adjusted for DST too

    Kindof handy, seeing as how although I knew the clocks had gone forwards, I totally somehow didn't realise that it might actually affect what time I got up. Probably because my exams are over and I'm now a lazy bum sunbathing and waiting for results.. apart from the odd morning commitment.
