Apple has just aired a new iPhone 5 ad featuring the iOS Do Not Disturb feature. Ironically, the feature malfunctioned today for numerous users due to a bug that was likely associated with the beginning of the new year.

The ad shows Venus and Serena Williams playing table tennis and is entitled, "Dream".

Just turn on Do Not Disturb and your iPhone 5 knows not to ring, unless it's a call you really want.

Take a look below...

My DND is on the entire day yesterday and today. In Canada EST zone 10.30 AM 2 January. Now manually turned off DND. I imagined that it was my device which did it. Googled it and found many users have the same trouble. First bug I found in apple so far..

This is happening to my iphone 5. The DND set is from 11pm to 6 am and at 9am it was still in DND. Reset didn't help.

It doesn't only mute calls. It also mutes alarms from 3rd party devs.
