“Users of Apple’s iPhone 4 mobile phone could be forgiven for arriving late in to work this morning – an apparent bug in the phone’s software prevented the handset’s alarm function from working correctly,” Claudine Beaumont reports for The Telegraph.
“Although the time on the iPhone 4 automatically updated when the clocks went back at the weekend, it seems the alarm function didn’t, resulting in scores of people being woken an hour later than they had intended today,” Beaumont reports. “A similar bug affected iPhone 4 users in Australia and New Zealand when clocks switched from Daylight Saving Time last month”
Beaumont warns, “The glitch could strike again next week when the United States adjusts its clocks to mark the start of winter.”

MacDailyNews Note: Daylight Savings Time in the U.S. (except for Arizona and Hawaii which do not observe it) ends on the first Sunday of November (Nov. 7th, this year). Winter officially begins on December 21, 2010. The United States does not adjust its clocks to mark the start of winter.

Did MDN ever mention the key lock bug? I don’t remember seeing it here, I read about it on HuffPost-
1. On the key lock screen, go to Emergency call
2. Dial a fake number, for instance ###
3. Press SEND, then immediately press the lock button.
This kicks you into the phone app, where you can access contacts, make calls, and send text messages, bypassing the key lock.

In Canada, where clocks will be adjusted next week, the well-educated populace knows doing so won’t herald winter. The winter solstice does that — next month.
@Casey O’Connor: No one forgot, except the exceedingly provincial.
