Cupertino, Calif. - Many iPhone users had a few explaining to do after they overslept to begin the new year, thanks to a glitch in the gadget's alarm clock feature.
Users who set their iPhone alarm for a single wake-up instead of recurring use found the alarm didn't go off with the year's arrival, Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison stated Sunday.
A fix is in the works, and all iPhone alarms will work properly starting Monday, she mentioned.
The glitch affects iPhones using Apple's latest iOS 4. 0 operating system.
Online postings on blogs and social media sites described people being late for work, church services and other appointments on Saturday and Sunday simply because of the problem.
