How Long Is Snooze on an iPhone?

iPhone snooze times are always nine minutes, and unfortunately, it's not possible to change the snooze length on your iPhone. This nine-minute timeframe can seem like an eternity if you are a heavy sleeper or short-lived if you usually need a little extra time.

So why is the default iPhone snooze time nine minutes? It has its origins in the physical limitations of mechanical alarm clocks; setting a 10-minute snooze interval was not physically possible with older clocks. Why Apple decided to stick with the nine-minute snooze interval when the iPhone has no such limitation is a question only they can answer.
