> iPhone alarm will sometimes just go off silently

Oh man, as a recent android to iOS convert I thought I was just doing it wrong. The alarm feature of this phone is utterly useless it’s so unreliable. It just decides randomly (from what I can tell) to silence itself with no user interaction. Luckily it hasn’t resulted in major life consequences yet, but I’ve learned to not even bother with it.

Thanks for returning a tiny bit of my sanity!

Whichever programmer or team was responsible for this “feature” that decides you know better than me, why?!?

My current conspiracy theory is it’s the wearables team since then only way to be certain you will at least get some physical/audible feedback it’s time to wake up is by wearing your Apple Watch to bed. Then you get to deal with frantic charging it before your flight or whatnot, fun times!
