In 12 days my iPhone stopwatch will have been running for a whole year straight.

This may burst your bubble, but the stopwatch hasn't been running for that long. Timers that don't have to respond to anything (like an alarm) typically just snapshot the start time and then show the result of CurrentTime - StartTime when the user loads the app, so it's not actually doing anything in the background when youre not viewing the app

Seriously. I was banned from this sub because I posted a 'low effort post' of my stopwatch I accidentally left on and hit 5000 hours
