Clock (software) → Clock (iOS) – Per WP:PRECISE, there are many, many, software artefacts providing an interface to real-time clocks, and Apple's is not particularly more notable than some others e.g. Alarms & Clock for Windows, and real-time clock § Software-based RTCs.

I also propose that Clock (software) is retargeted to Clock (disambiguation) § Technology. I've added the links above to that section with this edit. 85.238.91.38 (talk) 04:05, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at navbox {{iOS}}, it appears "(Apple)" is the most common disambiguating phrase with 11 instances, although "(software)" runs a close second with 10, with a smattering of others such as "(iOS)" (3) and "(app)" (1). So Clock (Apple) may be better per WP:NCDAB: "If there are several possible choices for parenthetical disambiguation, use the same disambiguating phrase already commonly used [...]" 85.238.91.38 (talk) 05:37, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support either per nom, not obvious at first that this refers to a proper name. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:25, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nominator and User:Thjarkur. Pretty much all computers have had clocks for the past three to four decades. It's not even obvious whether this is about a specific program called "Clock" or clock programs in general. JIP | Talk 23:17, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per nom._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 23:58, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support move, preferring Clock (Apple) as (Apple) is more common than (iOS). Either would be a massive improvement over the current disambiguation. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:25, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
