More Apple for the day

Brian Chen has an article in The New York Times about the iPhone:

When the first iPhone was released on AT&T’s network, it was widely criticized for being a lousy phone despite its powerful capabilities as a tiny touch-screen computer. Now it might gain a reputation for being a subpar clock.
On the morning of New Year’s Day, a bug affected the Do Not Disturb feature for many iPhone users. Apple designed the feature to block incoming phone calls and alerts for a set duration; from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., when the user is asleep, for example. But many iPhone users found that it did not turn off after the designated end time.
On Twitter, many were still complaining about the Do Not Disturb bug on Wednesday, except for those who were happy for the extra sleep. Awkwardly, Apple highlighted the Do Not Disturb feature in a new commercial broadcast this week (above). It stars Serena and Venus Williams in a table tennis match that would be a shame to disturb. This isn’t the first time the iPhone has had problems telling time. In 2010, many European iPhone owners complained that a bug in the iPhone alarm clock caused it to go off an hour late because the software did not automatically adjust to daylight saving time. Some iPhones had a similar problem on 1 January 2011.
Trudy Muller, an Apple spokeswoman, pointed to a troubleshooting bulletin that says the Do Not Disturb feature will work properly again after next Monday. Until then, users will have to manually turn the feature on or off themselves.
