“Why did the Apple engineer not do that” because he didn’t have to. It’s been ***years*** and no one has noticed until now. No reason to make it more complicated than it has to be.

It is a loop in iOS 26

iOS’s datetime picker isnt a list of numbers, it’s a projection onto a Unix timestamp. The datetime has a final value at +[NSDate distantFuture], and by scrolling the wheel you just keep adding hours and hours to the current time until you hit the end time. It could probably reset, but obviously it didn’t matter at the time given that this limitation didn’t get discovered for a decade

Not an iOS programmer, but I’d guess they’d have one team making reusable components and and another making the Clock app. They have a requirement for a looping dial (hour/minute) and a non-looping dial (AM/PM), but only one is implemented. Instead of implementing the loop they came up with a solution that is 100% as functional using a list.

I think they did this because when you go from 59 to 00 it automatically changes to next hour. so similar people would think that scrolling from 12 to 1 would make the alarm go off on the next day. A lot of decisions are made when designing the ui and the ux. A good ui and ux makes everything as less ambiguous as possible. This is a good ux as it doesn't make you guess whether it will go off on same day or the next day.

Have we considered different languages, fonts, characters, ios versions, apple versions, accessibility options, etc etc?

If you rotate it 90 degrees and cut the view down to one item, it’s called a carousel or slideshow in web dev. We’ve known about them for a minute

Am I tripping or could a circular linked list have been used? If not y would it not work?

I think the reason for the list is because it’s sensitive to the UX input and speed of scrolling, with the haptic feedback so for that to not use any iteration or memory they just put it into a list. Because they need to judge how far it’s going to roll when you flick it.

The real tragedy is Apple going “list-like” for a value that could be simply represented in a flat dial like a clock face. Drag thumb over the flat circle for the time.

Can someone get a hold of a Job’s era phone/iOS and see if it’s also a list there?

How does it perform on like an iPhone 3G. Maybe at the time it performs better to just have a list.
