iPhone Alarm Clock Problems 'Fixed By Monday' 

Within hours of the new year beginning, users reported problems on Twitter and other websites.

Many complained that they overslept at the weekend when the alarm did not go off.

Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison confirmed the problem in a statement to Macworld.

"We're aware of an issue related to non repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2," the site quoted her as saying.

"Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3."

The bug is believed to affect iPhone 4 handsets or older versions of the phone which have been updated with the newer software.

It is not the first time users have complained about the gadget's alarm - a similar issue was reported when the clocks went back in November.

Apple sold 1.7m iPhone 4 handsets by June 2010 and described it as their most-successful product yet. More than 50m iPhones have been sold since 2007.
