After the Qingming holiday, Sunday marked the first weekday back to work, but due to the holiday adjustment, there will be six consecutive workdays from April 7th to 12th. During this crucial period, a has trended on social media, garnering widespread attention: "iPhone users complain that their alarms didn't go off, causing them to be late for work."

iPhone Alarm Flaw

iPhone's alarm function has a flaw in that it cannot intelligently recognize statutory holidays. Users can only set alarm repetitions from Monday to Sunday. When a statutory holiday is adjusted to a weekend, the system fails to automatically recognize the adjusted weekend as a workday, causing the alarm to fail on the adjusted day.

Android Advantage

In contrast, Android phones have a more sophisticated alarm function. They can automatically adjust according to statutory holidays, recognizing adjusted weekends as workdays and ensuring that alarms sound on adjusted days as well.

iPhone User Complaints

On social media, numerous iPhone users have complained about this flaw, warning other iPhone users to be mindful of setting alarms, lest they be late for work due to the lack of a holiday alarm function on their Apple phones.

Insufficient Apple Localization

While Apple has provided localized services for Chinese users, such as the iPhone's calendar displaying the adjusted workdays, the alarm does not recognize the adjustments. This inconsistency exposes iPhone users to the risk of their alarms failing on adjusted days.

User Suggestions

To avoid the embarrassment of being late, iPhone users have suggested the following:

• Manually adjust the alarm repetition time to include the adjusted weekend.

• Use third-party alarm apps, which often have the ability to intelligently recognize holidays.

• Set multiple alarms to increase the chances of an alarm sounding.

The iPhone alarm holiday flaw has sparked discussion, indicating areas for improvement in Apple's localization services. Android phones' superiority in alarm functionality highlights their user-centric approach. iPhone users should take appropriate measures to avoid the risk of missed alarms on adjusted days.
