Working Six Days in a Row Begins Today! Android Users Show Concern for Apple Fans: Late for Work Due to iPhone Alarm Failure

On April 7th, as the Qingming Festival holiday has come to an end, today marks not only Sunday but also the first workday for many of us.

It's crucial to note that due to holiday adjustments, the upcoming days from the 7th to the 12th will be a continuous stretch of six working days.

The topic of "iPhone users complaining about their alarms not ringing, leading to being late for work" has repeatedly trended on social media, sparking considerable "concern" from Android users towards Apple fans.

Currently, iPhone alarm clocks lack the intelligent feature to select statutory holidays automatically. Users can only set alarms for the seven days of the week, from Monday to Sunday.

The system fails to recognize adjusted weekends as workdays automatically, whereas Android phones can autonomously adjust based on statutory holidays.

Similar incidents have been seen before. Many Android phone users have previously posted on social media to remind iPhone users to pay attention to setting their alarms, to avoid being late for work due to the lack of holiday alarm functionality on Apple devices. s_a089586d9e004284be1374a38776db34.jpg While Apple has localized services for Chinese users, such as having the iPhone's calendar display workdays, the alarm clock does not recognize days off.
