Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I don't recall being able to set an
Alarm using SIRI for a date/time in the future before iOS 7, either. I seem
to remember that I tried this once and SIRI told me it couldn't be done and
to consider using a Reminder instead.
I find this not such a big deal, after all, mostly you either have a
recurring alarm if you get up at the same time each weekday, for example, or
if you need a special alarm then I find it to be fairly normal and intuitive
to set it the evening before. After all, before we had iPhones and used
regular alarm clocks this is what you would do.
I just had a look and the only option for an alarm that is more than 1 day
ahead is to set a repeating alarm. For example, it's Wednesday now and if I
want to set an alarm for next Monday at 7 AM I could select 7 AM as the
time, then tap on "Repeat, Never" and select to repeat the alarm every
Monday. This would set a 7 AM for every Monday and I would just have to
delete or turn off that alarm if I only wanted it once. At best this would
allow you to set an alarm for up to 6 or 7 days in advance.
If you were concerned you forget to set an alarm the evening before you
needed it you could always tell SIRI to remind you to set the alarm on a
specific day in the future, then when the reminder goes off the evening
before you just hold down the home key and say "Wake me up at 6 AM" and it's
done.

Subject: Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
I have not seen that ability in iOS7. How might I change the date of an
alarm? Unless you are talking about a third-party app? Again, I know there
are plenty out there, I just would like to use the default one if I could
since I have had trouble in the past with alarm apps not always working.
Plus there's Siri, but for now that seems to not be an option.

You cannot do this with Siri, but you can go into the alarm app and check
up to seven days into the future when you might want an alarm.

Are you talking about the native Clock app in IOS? If so, I agree I don't
see any way to do this.
I never realized the native Clock app had this feature. If I were going to
schedule something for the future, I'd just use the Reminder app or place an
event on my calendar. This does sound like a nice feature, but I guess the
clock app is still as useful as the alarm clock next to my bed, where I
can't set an alarm for the future. If I need to set an alarm to wake up at a
different time, I just need to remember to set it the night before.

Hi all,
In iOS7, I can't seem to set an alarm for even one day in the future.
What is the point of using the iPhone as an alarm clock if I can't tell it
to wake me up tomorrow morning, or on a date in the future I know I'll need
to be up early? I did this all the time in iOS6, but now I can't seem to. I
really hope I'm just missing something basic, but I have a bad feeling I'm
not. Of course there are third-party apps, but I miss being able to just
tell Siri to "wake me up tomorrow at 5" for instance.
Have a great day,
