On the first working day of the new-year, a glitch within Apple iPhone internal clocks left many users snoozing.

According to Reuters, iPhone users around the world have been complaining about malfunctioning alarms the last three days, which have caused many to arrive late to work or even miss flights. The problem was present in other Apple devices as well. Apple, which had been aware of the issue, said on January 2 that the alarms should have started to function properly by Monday January 3.

With regards to the mishap, Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi said "Apple certainly needs to fix it as soon as possible, but I doubt this will impact sales or reflect negatively on Apple itself."
