iOS 17 iPhone Alarm Turns Off with StandBy Mode

When StandBy Mode is turned on and active while the phone is in the landscape position, if the alarm goes off and the phone is disturbed (taken off the charger/ slightly bumped off the charger, or taken out of StandBy Mode the alarm will actually completely turn off.

The reason I hope this is just a setting I can disable without disabling STandBy mode is I like to check the time throughout the night, however, when i wake up in the morning I'd rather press a physical button as I've accidentally pressed the wrong one. But now every time I barely touch my phone it will stop the alarm and not snooze it.

Yep, second time in a week that I overslept by an hour because my alarm was mysteriously off while in StandBy mode. Been using the Sleep alarm for years without any issue, StandBy is the only new variable, frustrating bc I just bought a stand just to use with StandBy!

Last evening I didn’t turn off Stand By..but plugged in the phone and laid it flat on the night table . The alarm went off exactly on time. Might have to keep it this way without any updates..

17.1 on 15 pro.. I thought it was fixed at first but found that when I get notifications at night the alarms don’t go off in the morning. Same issue persists.

I am having this same issue. My phone ran an update on the weekend and I’ve been later for work every morning since because my alarm is not going off. This is NOT okay
