alt Hacker NewsI've got one.
When iPhone alarm goes off, the screen doesn't wake up, so I press the power button. Which snoozes the alarm. Not only did I not want to snooze the alarm, I hoped that the alarm would wake the phone up so I can click 'stop'.
I assume that's a bug rather than a holding-it-wrong?

This one has always confused me as well. Tapping the screen, as the other commenter suggested, dismisses the whole thing too, so I have to fish for the stop button in the notifications every time.
Maybe there’s “the Apple way” that we’ve yet to discover.
If you have tap to wake turned on (it's on by default), you can tap the screen anywhere to wake it up. So long as the screen isn't already on and you don't mash the Snooze button, you should be able to hit stop.
I believe the power-button-to-snooze thing is meant as a usability boost for groggy people: the physical button may be easier to click than some random spot on the screen.

I’ll note that looking at the screen deadens the alarm.
I’ve had it a couple of times where I’ve looked at the alarm on my nightstand, the alarm quietens down to nearly nothing and I fall back to sleep.
My partner missed a flight due to this.
