    Holy shit clickbait to the max, “Issues with alarm” = “Alarming iPhone issue”, it’s hilarious

      I suspected something like this and didn’t reward them with a click. I want news without sensationalism and all the “slamming” and other bullshit.

        I don’t think it was intended to be sensationalist, just a pun with the words. It’s one of those non-issue stories that are sort of tongue in cheek so the writer has a bit of fun.

        I think most outlets have pretty much given up writing anything serious about Apple based alarm issues as they’ve been a thing for years (whether it’s user error or otherwise), hence why this one in particular is just quoting people on TikTok of all places.

          Thanks for the explanation. I’m just a dumb android user and easily alarmed.

            Oh no so am I, but I’ve seen enough of these stories in the past to know it’s a common occurrence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
