Alarm seems to be out by a few minutes but it varies each day. 12 minutes late is the worst so far

I Have iPhone 5s with latest ios and have noticed the alarm going of late by different amounts each day, worst so far was 12 minutes late. Tried off and on and deleting alarms with no luck.

Hello Wardy84,


I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you are having inconsistent behavior with the alarm function on your iPhone, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your iPhone data, then try reinstalling a fresh copy of iOS, as outlined in the following article (the article is aimed at a slightly different issue, but the steps still apply):



If your device turns on but gets stuck during start up

You might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time during start up. Try these steps:

  1. Connect your device to a computer and open iTunes. If you don't have a computer, you can borrow one, or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.
  2. While your device is connected, force it to restart. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. Don't release when you see the Apple logo. Keep holding until you see the Recovery mode screen.

  3. When you get the option to restore or update, choose Update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

iTunes will download the software for your device. If it takes more than 15 minutes, your device will exit recovery mode and you'll need to repeat steps 2 and 3 again.


If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support


Sincerely,

- Brenden
