When your iPhone alarm goes off in the morning and you tap the snooze button, it wakes you up again in nine minutes. Many people think that this is a fixed interval that you can't do anything about. In fact, the option to change the snooze duration has been around for a while now—it's just hidden in the alarm settings, so many users never discover it.

The nine-minute snooze has a rather interesting history. It dates back to the era of analog alarm clocks. Mechanical clocks had design limitations and setting an exact ten-minute interval was not easy, so manufacturers gradually settled on around nine minutes. This custom was then carried over to digital alarm clocks and mobile phones. Apple It has long been kept as the default value, so many people still assume that it cannot be changed.
If nine minutes isn't enough for you, you can adjust the interval directly in the Clock app. Just open the Alarm section, select a specific alarm, and tap Snooze interval in its settings. Here, you can set your own time from one to fifteen minutes. The settings are saved for each alarm separately, so for example, a work alarm can have a different interval than a weekend alarm.
In practice, this is a small thing, but it can significantly change the morning routine. Some people prefer a short two- or three-minute snooze so that their phone quickly reminds them and does not allow them to fall asleep again. Others, on the other hand, prefer a longer pause so that they have time to wake up gradually. The ability to set your own interval makes more sense than one universal time for everyone.

Maybe that's why a lot of people use this feature as a replacement for the old trick of setting multiple alarms in a row. Instead of setting alarm at 6:30, 6:40 and 6:50, today you only need one alarm and adjust the snooze interval to how you wake up best.
So next time you have iPhone ring in the morning, it might be worth looking into your alarm settings. The nine-minute snooze is a historical classic, but it is certainly no longer the only option.
Beautiful user experience, this is what a user experience article should look like.
I personally have such patience with FenixHe didn't have the y 8 and sold it after a month. The watch is really great for sports, but navigating the menu was a horror for me.
I would also like to mention the strap, which at first glance looks like cheap plastic, but it is a perfect work of engineering. It is very light, durable and you can't feel it on your hand at all, despite the greater weight of the watch. For me, it is the best strap I have ever worn.
I also have a Garmin. I only need notifications, which it can do, and that's it. Lasts 2,5 weeks. Satisfaction. Actually, I don't miss AW at all.
I used to wear Marq too Driver, but nakoneI only wear them on the track and normally wear Whoop and classic watches
