Re: Got an iPhone? Set the date to get faster data

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."
