And this has been causing stress and that feeling of dread in a lot of people, with many voicing their frustrations online.

 Jason O’Callaghan MSc BA HDIP, a psychologist specializing in the unconscious, spoke to UniLad. He thinks that it is actually possible to be conditioned by Apple. "These people have been conditioned that it’s time to get up in the morning and rush to work with this sound. But now, they’re getting it in their relaxation time because they’re hearing it in an advert."

The iPhone alarm is a negative reinforcement.

 "It’s all about positive or negative reinforcement," he went on to explain, "If you get lots of likes on Facebook, that’s positive, if you speed down the road and get penalty points, that route will have negative reinforcement."

Generally, the sound of a morning alarm is associated with rushing around and being stressed...

"People are being conditioned to that sound by Apple, and for a lot of people, obviously, they’re being woken out of sleep and being forced to rush out to work by that sound. Naturally, that’s an anxious time, and now that sound is entering their private, relaxation time."

It's pretty unlikely that Apple will remove the ad...

Although it's a great advert, it's undeniable that the sound of that alarm sends shivers down the spine... watch it for yourself here!
