1) Can we remove the vibration from the clock alarm? The vibration sounds very jarring during the morning wakeup.
2) Can we at least adjust the alarm volume without tampering with the phone call volume?
In my old Samsung Galaxy phone, there was a plethora of alarm settings and options, even independent settings for each individual alarm.
Thank you for any advice.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1
There are a plethora of Alarm sounds on an iPhone as well:
Click on the Clock
Click on the "+" to add an Alarm
Select the time for the alarm
Tap on Sound to select the alarm sound you wish to use for the alarm you are setting
Click on Save to save the alarm you just set
Also, to turn off the vibration, go to Settings>Sounds and turn off Vibrate on Ring and Vibrate on Silent.
Cheers,

Thanks for your response and the stepwise procedure.
Yes, there are lots of alarm sounds in my phone which are quite nice.
Actually in my old phone, Ringer and Alarm had independent settings but here you have to have same settings for both.
For example, I would like to have Vibration in my Ringer settings to pick up calls in a noisy outdoor place but I would hate to have Vibrate in my Morning Alarm especially if i have choosen a soft and mellow tone to wake me up.
This is just one of many examples where my new super cool iPhone 6 Plus makes me miss my old Samsung G3. Restricting user control doesnt really make sense. But maybe the 'techies' at Apple have a justification....(Phone stability?).
Regards.
There is a (somewhat clumsy) workaround.
I can change the phone settings every night before sleeping and then revert them back every morning after waking up.
But the hassle involved is not worth the achieved objective.
Yeah, I don't know why it is designed that way, but that is the design. Different phones and software - different design. You can send your feedback to Apple about this at this link:

OK. I will do that.
Thanks.
Thee are also probably hundreds of alarm apps in the App Store. Perhaps one of them would better meet your needs. At a guess, I'd say the one I favor, Carrot 2 would not be the one you want, though.
I could not locate Carrot 2 on the store (exact name search).
Why would you not recommend it though?

I wouldn't recommend it to you as it is loud, it vibrates, it flashes lights and it makes you answer questions in order to shut it off. Sounds like the exact opposite of what you want.
Why don't you search for alarms the might meet your needs rather than ones that don't. Try searching fro something like "gentle alarm" (not a name, just a search term). Many alarm apps over escalating alarms, ones that grow louder over time. Take a look at Red Clock as an example.
My iPhone 5 is not able to stop alarm after last upgrade. it is very annoying...
Morning Alarm very uncomfortable. Can we change its basic settings?
