@dreamteampov: iPhone alarm app setting isn't a wheel it's a long list that ends. Even our engineer didn't know how to code this. Is it impossible? #apple #Tech #coding #iphone

Savage Meerkat :

So they just added 999 hours and 999 minutes, and started it in the middle. 1+ 999 % 12 = 4 0 + 999 % 60 = 39

Brendan Kavanagh :

Why not use a looped array 🤷‍♂️

Moulaye Eli :

one word: performance. why would i occupy the cpu with math on circular list if i can just make a simple list that works for 99.9% of users

Sep :

Who tried ? 🙋🏻‍♂️

Hairy Palms :

My android has a looping time list 😂

cloakz :

here a digital circle

cappunocci :

… I’m actually legitimately shocked that this is real.

ian.rwx :

People. It’s not a data structure problem. It’s a UI problem. The engineers just didn’t want to make a wheel. A finite list UI is just easier. The amount of ppl saying circular linked list….

H.D :

on iphone with 24h clock it goes round

Eric :

Honestly I lowk get it. Timesaver that no one will ever notice and even if they do it won’t affect them.

Camilo A Gutierrez F :

16:39 in iOS 26

Fabian :

android did it better😌

PhD :

Not me scrolling my iPhone for a minute to find a non existent end of list

real_sink :

Why not a Linked list here!!!

Reid :

Edge case. Punt to next sprint. (Said in a sprint planning meeting somewhere 12 years ago)

nl66areiper :

pedro :

i wish i could just write the freaking number

Uncle Jimbo :

what happens if you scroll up?

neonyx64_ :

a digital circle is just a list that on the last digit loops back to the first digit

Fuuuuck off :

I absolutely hate this UI. Would be faster to just type the time on a num pad at this point

Savage Meerkat :

It’s true! Mine also stop at 4:39. WHAT IS THE HIDDEN MEANING OF 4:39?????

I :

Well it’s endless on iOS26, so I guess they’ve fixed it.

rin :

Im sure they do this bcs it's easier to not cause ui/number abruptly shifted during infinite scroll render. also prob reason why the scroll so smooth and we can spin it really fast and still looks good. simple and practical definitely.

luca.png 🇮🇹🇵🇭 :

i’m on ios 26 beta it’s no longer a list

Alex :

Why would this not just be a circular linked list?
