Apple iPhone Alarm System Broken

The Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) may be a technology marvel, but is has an Achille’s Heel. At the change of the year, its alarm feature does not work in several parts of the world.

According to Apple Insider:

Apple has confirmed an iOS bug where non-repeating alarms fail to ring on the first few days of the new year, recommending that users set recurring alarms until Jan. 3, when the alarms will resume working properly.
As various time zones entered the new year, reports began cropping up from iOS users whose one-time alarms had stopped functioning after the device’s clock had ticked over to January 1, 2011. According to reports, the issue affects devices running the iOS 4.2.1, the latest version of iOS.

It happened on a weekend, at least
