Apple has officially confirmed reports of iPhone alarms not playing sound, with the issue being related to the Attention Aware feature on the device.

Apple has reassured users that they are actively working on a fix for this problem. In the meantime, those experiencing this issue can disable the feature in the Settings app to ensure that their alarms are not affected.
