I have since I had to switch to an iPhone for a new job about 9mo ago.

Someone in their design team decided alarms are optional and that sometimes they should just go off silently for reasons.

Utterly stupid feature I didn’t have time to figure out so back to a real alarm clock for waking up on days it’s important to do so.

Whoever decided to make alarms “adaptive” at Apple must have never had a real actual honest job in their life. Utterly infuriating.

Yes, lots of times I have to double check: "Hey Siri, turn off the music in 1hr" => Timer => onFinish => "StopMusic()"

...but then if you re-use that timer (accidentally) it will be "sticky" to stop playing instead of chiming.

Super frustrating! For as good as Apple's UX can be, they have some really bone-headed behaviors and designs in their core apps.
