Missing a flight is a traveler's worst nightmare, right? Imagine the sinking feeling when you realize your alarm didn't go off, and you've overslept, missing your flight. It's a scenario that's unfortunately become a reality for some, and it's all thanks to a silent alarm on their Apple iPhones.
This story, shared by a TikTok user named Brett, is enough to make anyone who relies on their phone's alarm a little uneasy. Brett posted a video detailing how she missed her flight because her iPhone alarm, despite being set, remained silent. She overslept and missed her flight to Chicago.
But here's where it gets controversial... Brett's alarm allegedly went off silently for two hours! The most shocking part? When Brett shared her experience, she wasn't alone.
Many other people had similar experiences. According to Brett, "100 people swiped up, maybe more, and were like, ‘This happened to me. I missed an exam, I missed a shift, I missed my first day of work. It’s been happening to me so much on my iPhone.’”
Brett herself stated, “There’s something going on with Apple alarms.” In the video's caption, she added, “Also, like 20 people said it also happened to them today. SO SUS.”
Brett's experience highlights a potential issue with iPhone alarms. It raises the question: Could there be a glitch or software bug causing alarms to fail silently? Or is there something else at play?
This story is a reminder of how much we rely on technology and the potential consequences when it fails. It's a good idea to consider backup alarm methods, like a traditional alarm clock or a second alarm on your phone, to avoid oversleeping.
