iPhone 13 design fail--alarm clock

Apple really needs to bring back the clock icon on the home screen that tells you the alarm is set. My husband and I were both late for work this morning because I thought I set the alarm but guess I didn't and there's no way to know without opening the clock. My iPhone 6 would have told me from the home screen that my alarm wasn't set. Thanks, Apple. Love going backward in convenience.

You don't need to open the clock, you swipe down to access the control center, the alarm icon will show at the top right next to the battery percentage.


If you had a 6 prior to the 13 you would've known Apple did away with all of that for the home screen.

For the newer model iPhones with Face ID, there is not enough room in the status bar to display all of those icons, so you get what you can there and the balance is in Control Center. You can provide feedback to Apple regarding a change you would like to see, a change you didn’t like, or report a bug, then use the feedback link here, Feedback - iPhone - Apple

I know they did away with all of it! That is my complaint. I like it on my home screen (as did many customers, according to these forums). I don't want to swipe. It's an added step I didn't have to take with "outdated" models. Of course, I could be one of the unlucky thousands who have phantom alarms going off at all hours so I guess I should count my blessings.


I miss the battery percentage, too, don't get me started on that...
