Maybe they should't spend a month worth of income on an iPhone then. /s

Thanks for thinking of the little guy.
I’ve got the opposite problem where my alarm goes off every Wednesday at 8:30 and I have no idea how to turn it off…

I haven’t tested this in a while, but as at least until a couple of years ago, an incoming phone call would permanently dismiss an alarm on iOS.
If you have face id and attention awareness enabled, the alarm will be silenced but still technically be going off if the phone thinks you looked at it.
Not sure if it's related to this TFA bug, but it's aggravating, to put it nicely.

Still does. Alarm can also interrupt and crash Spotify. Alarm can also temporarily lock iPhone.
I just accepted it. Sad that’s just how things are nowadays.

The state of modern tech... a company with a market cap of 2.67 trillion cannot make a working alarm clock.
