If you are an iPhone user, the chances are that you're not up early enough to be reading this story.

And that's because a similar bug that plagued antipodean iPhone users when their clocks changed in September has hit European users, albeit in the reverse manner.

Although the iPhone's clock has no problems auto-adjusting to the changes of the clock, the alarm function is having difficulties keeping track of time.

There have been numerous reports that alarms that were pre-set, especially recurring ones, have been going off an hour later than they should have done.

In Australia and New Zealand the problem apparently corrected itself after a while, which isn't really all that helpful if you've got a Mr Slate-style boss just waiting to pounce if you're even a minute late.

The general suggestion seems to be to delete all alarms on your phone, and create individual ones each day, and forget about recurring ones for now - a fix should come with iOS 4.2.

Or, leave it be and have a nice lie-in each day, courtesy of Apple. Your choice.
