On Sunday at 2 Am the U.S will move their clocks back one hour, which means that they will no longer be on daylight saving time. There are those of you who wonder why we still do this, and I am one of them. There are a number of things that we need to remember, but iPhone owners need to be extra careful.
Since the clocks started going back in other parts of the world iPhone users have been experiencing an issue with their alarm. All alarm times that were set have been going off one-hour later, which we discussed in a recent post. Apple has come up with a fix until iOS 4.2 is released, which is said to fully resolve the issue.

With the first Sunday in November – November 7 this year round – marking the “Spring forward, Fall back” ritual, Daylight Saving Time ends for much of the US; and the clocks will have to be adjusted to “fall” back by one hour.

The concept of Daylight Saving Time was first introduced to the world by Benjamin Franklin, in his essay “The Economic Project.” But, for nearly a year, the ides was not heeded to; and it was British builder William Willett who successfully proposed Daylight Saving Time to Parliament. Eventually, Parliament passed a law requiring the British to “spring” their clocks forward; and “fall back” in the winter.
