"I'm waking up at the crack of dawn, after a shoddy night of sleep. My iPhone alarm and its ever-strong siren song blare as it shakes me from my slumber. At this point, I'll do anything to turn that wretched sound off as quickly as possible. The one thing that gets in my way? The iPhone's dismiss button for its alarm is too small. In my half-asleep state, I don't always hit and dismiss it the first time."
"There's not super reliable data on this metric, but that most Americans use their smartphone as their alarm clock, with usage growing significantly among younger Americans. Unless you are one of the few lucky sleepers who wakes up every day without an alarm at the right time, chances are you're using your smartphone most days of the week to get out of bed."
iOS 26 enlarges the dismissal buttons for timers and alarms in Apple's Clock app, making it easier to turn off alarms quickly. Larger buttons reduce the chance of missing the dismiss control when users are groggy. Most Americans use smartphones as alarm clocks, and usage is growing among younger users, so daily interaction with the Clock app is common. The change removes a long-standing annoyance for some users and improves one of the most-used native apps. Small interface tweaks can deliver meaningful practical benefits even without flashy features.
