Brenna Ehrlich over at Mashable.com is reporting in an article that some owners handsets clock fell back an hour instead of going forward. If you didn’t already know daylight saving time happened last night/this morning, so everyone gets one less hour sleep.

But the trouble is some Verizon iPhones have fallen back one hour, and the problem hasn’t been restricted to Verizon, as some AT&T owners have also reported problems. There are reports that some handsets behaving as they should, so it is not affecting everyone.

There was a similar problem back in January where some users reported problems with their alarms on the iPhone. If you have noticed your iPhone showing the wrong time try restarting the device or go to the date time settings and turn the automatic setting feature to off.

This problem is not affecting everyone with an iPhone, but it would be worth having a backup alarm just for tomorrow, unless you manually set the time on your device. Let us know if you have had problems with your iPhone clock.

Last year there were major problems for Apple and their alarm clock on iOS devices, so we’re hoping there’s no repeat of it this year.

But do not turn your clocks forward just yet, as we can tell you that the official date for DST 2011 is Sunday March 13th, and it will occur at 2am local time. So before you head to sleep that night, be sure to set your clocks forward one hour and prepare to kiss goodbye to an extra hour of sleep.

Last year we told you that users were sending in thousands of complaints after an alarm clock bug in iOS caused users to wake up late as a result of the alarm clock not configuring itself properly after trying to set itself up into the Daylight Savings Time zone. Such a simple bug caused a huge problem, and one which Apple failed to deal with right away.

Are you making special preparations for this year in case it happens again? You could always try the classic method of two alarm clocks don’t forget. Read some of the best iPhone stories from the DST 2010 blunder here.
