The non-existent iPhone alarm time-out setting

iPhone AlarmI’ve come to love my iPhone 4. I feel it truly is a game-changer. I use it as my phone, GPS, remote control, instant messenger, web browser, schedule book, and alarm clock .But if I could change one thing about it, I would fix the limited alarm clock abilities.

The most annoying thing in the world is to come out of the shower, or from anywhere after leaving my iPhone alone in a room while the alarm was going off, to find the alarm STILL buzzing away, 30 or 45 minutes later, with my battery just about dead.

Apple, please just add a simple configuration in the alarm edit screen to allow how LONG we would like the alarm to sound to be set.

And, yes, I know there are alarm-clock apps out there, even free ones, that will accomplish this. But this seems like a simple enough request for Apple. And I’m sure everyone else in my house would appreciate not listening to my iPhone buzz away for hours on end.
