Yes these bozos at Apple have managed to over think and screw up one of the most basic features. The alarm used to be independent of the sound ‘ringer’ - in other words if I set my alarm to a specific sound volume, it would work, independent of whether I have my volume set to low because I don’t want to be bothered while I sleep or work but I do actually have to get up to work so the dang alarm SHOULD be independent of all- LOLOL …but now it seems there’s this strange interplay between the actual volume button for the ringer and the alarm and I can’t figure out which one overrides the other…oh and I tried to select a song (‘Son of a Sailor’) for my alarm to experiment but it would revert to some space sounding alarm- I guess the folks at Apple don’t like Jimmy Buffett either 😆 Regardless, the good folks at Apple have completely over engineered this expensive product… or maybe ‘mis engineered’ (if that’s even a word, but it seems to apply to the team at Apple…) It’s absolutely ridiculous.
