Want to go back in time to Jan. 1, 1970? Just make sure you don't do it on your iPhone.

Changing the Date & Time settings to that fateful date will disable your device, Apple users report. And good luck trying to get it to restart: Connecting the disabled phone to your computer and trying to reboot it via iTunes won't work.


One chagrined user posted about his device's demise on an online Apple help forum:

"Hello, I was playing around with my Date & Time settings and I changed the time to January 1st 1970. I shutdown my phone and restarted it, the result is a bricked iPhone. I've tried restoring, updating, but nothing seems to be working."

What's so special about 1 January 1970? Techie commenters on Reddit and elsewhere note that's the start of Unix time, a way for developers to track time as a running total of seconds. Manually setting your Apple gadget to that date apparently causes a conflict that will choke the device.

What's odd about this is that apple used to use a completely different epoch.

fucking TELEMUNDO TROLL

Apple iPhone sets date automatically.

Having the correct date when using the internet has been a RULE and advice to ALL USERS since the 1980's.

My data is the same speed as before but now I’m late for appointments.

These are the kind of *tips* I can expect from FFX Underground I guess LOL
