Breaking: iPhone alarm isn't a wheel it's just a really long list. It's not circular. Oh my god dude, what? What the f***? This one's a list too. Four thirty nine PM is the final time. It's a list. Why would they do that? 10x engineers. Is it not just making a digital circle with numbers on it? How do you make a digital circle? I don't know, neither do I. Ha ha.
