It is not the first time on iPhone are found more or less naive bug can sometimes damage the device with very simple procedures. There is a new case that we could put in the same category of bugs, and allows you to "brickare" smartphone, or lock it permanently, simply by setting the date to 1 January 1970. The procedure is shown in the video report below, but it should not replicate it on your device.
If you run the procedure smartphone will become unusable. According to various sources the next reboot will not be completed, and no way to restore the proper functioning of the device. You can in fact enter the DFU mode (one to be used to restore smartphone data in the most extreme cases) and complete the installation of the operating system, however, even in this case it will fail the first start, with your smartphone that will remain in the typical screen with Apple.
Are affected by the bug only devices with a 64-bit processor running iOS 8 or later, so all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch that have a processor Apple A7, A8, A8X, A9, A9X. It is cautious about the possible causes of the problem a user on Reddit. The most reasonable seems the following: setting the date in some time zones, the internal clock is set to a value less than zero, which consequently confuses the operating system that is constantly crashing.
Another user reports that he had the same problem by changing the time zone after traveling from Beijing to New York, so it is likely that there is a bug unnamed inside the clock management on iOS. Some users have been able to restore the functionality of your smartphone waiting a few hours, others by replacing the SIM card. In any case the device presented deprecabili performance to the setting of a time differing from that indicted.
We said that this is not the first bug "naive" on iOS, but it is the first case that makes it unusable on an almost permanent fixture. Of course we have not verified the veracity of the claims of the sources, and you should not do the same to avoid having to be forced to ask for the replacement at an Apple Store. It expects an official statement on the incident of the company.
