Apple confirms iPhone/iPad will become bricked if the time setting is incorrect

On February 16, it was reported a few days ago that if the system time of Apple iPhone, iPad and other devices was set to January 1, 1970, and then the device was restarted, it would become a brick. Now Apple has officially acknowledged the existence of this bug.

Apple has officially announced that if you set the time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a date before May 1970, it will fail to restart. Apple has also promised to fix this issue in the next iOS version update.

If you are unlucky enough to be infected before this, you can disassemble your iOS device and remove the battery, leave it for 10 minutes and then reinstall it. Or if the battery is fully charged, wait for a few hours, and when the Unix timestamp value is greater than or equal to 0, the system time will take effect and you can boot normally.
