Recently, the problem of iOS 17 being exposed that the alarm clock does not ring has been on the hot search.
Many users have reported that since the iOS 17 update in September, the alarm clock of iPhone devices often fails to ring on time, or goes silent or vibrates soon after the specified time.
Some users say that their alarm goes off, but after a few sounds, it only vibrates, making it difficult to help them.
The alarm clock issue may stem from an iPhone system software issue, especially due to the standby mode introduced in iOS 17. In this mode, the TrueDepth camera may misunderstand the user's facial data, causing the system to incorrectly perceive the user's presence, which can affect the ringing of the alarm. As a result, the alarm may go off for a while and then go silent.
Before Apple fixes this issue, users can turn off the Attention Sensing function in Settings - Face ID & Passcode - Attention Perception to keep the alarm clock ringing for a specified time.
Although it is still some time before the release of Apple's next-generation iPhone system, Apple's development focus is already on the next major version, iOS 18.
Recently, it was revealed that information about the early development version of iOS 18 was shared.
The leaked information shows that Apple's iOS 18 system internal development code name is "Crystal", citing 4 iPhone models that have not yet been released, which is in line with the existing leaked information.
Apple is working on four unreleased iPhone models: D47 (iPhone 16), D48 (iPhone 16 Plus), D93 (iPhone 16 Pro), and D94 (iPhone 16 Pro Max).
According to the iOS 18 section**, next year's iPhone 16 series will include 4 models, all of which will use the new SoC codenamed Tahiti, which is actually the A18 chip that Apple is developing internally.
Although all A18 processors are based on the T8140 chip, they, like the iPhone 16 series, are divided into basic and Pro versions. Among them, the base version is named A18 (internal code name D4Y), while the Pro version is named A18 Pro (internal code name D9X). This seems to indicate that Apple is constantly pursuing processor performance improvements to meet user demand for a faster and smoother device experience.
Starting with the iPhone 14 series models, Apple's standard and Pro versions use different processor specifications, widening the difference between the two versions.
The news says that the iPhone 16 series, although it will use the same T8140 chip, will be differentiated, such as using the A18 and A18 Pro brands.
To address this, Apple may need to revisit the design of its alarm clock feature and how to properly recognize and respond to user behavior in standby mode. In addition, Apple should also consider a more comprehensive test of the alarm clock function in future updates to ensure that it works properly in various situations. For users, if there is a problem with their alarm clock, there are several workarounds they can try:1Restart your device: Sometimes, a simple reboot can fix some software issues. 2.Update the system: If the problem persists, users can try updating their device system. 3.Contact Apple Support: If none of the above methods resolve the issue, users can contact Apple's technical support team to report the issue to them and ask for help. Overall, while this issue may cause inconvenience to some users, Apple is aware of the problem and is working on resolving it. In the future, we hope to see Apple make more progress in fixing this issue, and we also hope that users can continue to enjoy the convenience and fun that Apple devices bring.
