The bug only affects iPhones running iOS 4.1 which appears to have had alarms set on repeat resulting in thousands of alarms not going off at the right time this morning. Not that many who would have been affected would have been that sad about snoozing for another hour.
Ironically it was bug Apple knew all about but still failed to fix in time for daylight saving to hit Europe. Users in Australia and New Zealand were affected more than three weeks ago when they swapped over to daylight saving. It will be interesting to see if Apple will get their butt in gear and fix the problem in time for the US to change their clocks on Sunday.
