So, this morning was a disaster. I woke up late, missed an important meeting, and all because my iPhone alarm decided to take a vacation. You wouldn’t believe how many people I know who’ve had the same issue! I mean, it’s a phone’s most basic function, right? It’s beyond frustrating, especially when you depend on it to start your day. It’s like my phone just decided it wouldn’t do its one job.
Adding insult to injury, my friend with a Samsung sent me this hilarious video their company made, basically poking fun at iPhone users like me. It was a cute dog dancing to the Samsung alarm sound with the caption “Don’t worry, our alarms go off.” I have to admit, it was funny, but also a little bit painful, like rubbing salt in the wound.
I get that Apple is working on a fix, but this isn’t the first time their alarms have been glitchy. And the thing that really bugs me is that they still haven’t added a holiday alarm feature. Like, come on, Apple! It’s 2023! My calendar knows when the holidays are, why can’t my alarm? It’s a small thing, but it just feels like they’re not really paying attention to what users need.
This whole experience has got me thinking. Maybe it is time to switch to Samsung. I mean, they clearly have a sense of humor about this whole thing, and their alarms seem to actually work. Plus, they’re not ignoring basic features that everyone wants. I’m not saying I’m going to run out and buy a new phone today, but it’s definitely food for thought. I need a phone that I can rely on, and right now, my iPhone just isn’t cutting it.
