CUPERTINO, Calif. - Apple says the end of daylight savings time could cause problems for iPhone users.

The Cupertino-based company said on its website that repeating alarms set on iPhones and some versions of the iPod touch may not recognize the end of daylight saving time and may work incorrectly shortly before or shortly after the Sunday morning time change.

Apple says devices using the mobile operating system iOS 4.1 are likely to trigger alarms before or after the time change.

The company recommends turning off repeating alarms and setting them manually until Monday, when it's safe to set them to repeat again.

Apple is releasing an update of the software later this month to address the glitch.

Gotta love the idea of paying 4 times as much for a product that is only for one company, and have it glitch as much as it does! Where do I sign up?? LOL

I preferred it when devices and computers informed you they'd automatically switched over over to different time changes, now it just happens in the background. Personally, I'm still not sure if it happened already at midnight, or tonight at midnight...
