Change to 1 January 1970 goes iPhone to pieces – ITavisen.no

Do not do this!

Studdert will not take much to completely crash an otherwise healthy iPhone. The reason is related to Unix hour.

Struggling with space and time
this time and dates are not Apple’s forte. In several iOS versions have alarms halt, and other strange error has been detected in fresh iOS updates in connection with time.

But this is by far the most dangerous, for doing this you can not access mobile content without having to pay for the service.

1970 is dangerous
Turns off automatic timer, and set the date to January 1 and year to 1970, then to reboot, the only thing you see on the panel be Apple logo.

According to Reddit account “vista980622″ which first reported the error, it does not help to use DFU restore or recovery mode to salvage unit. The restoration is running as usual, but device is not going to be able to start up again.

These units are affected
only rescue is to deliver it to a repair shop, or to be dexterous enough (and not caring about the guarantee) – for you’re able to pluck out the battery gets life in the unit again.

There are only 64-bit iOS devices affected by this, that they with A7 (iPhone 5s), A8, A8X, A9 or A9X (iPad Pro) chip. It does not matter which version of iOS installed.

Is iOS enehten your “jailbroken” you can use BrickingDate who refuse malicious change to the dangerous date.
