Newer iOS devices won't boot if you do this until the battery goes flat, letting the device reset to the factory time settings, or the battery is removed, whichever you do first.
Though most people can't remove the battery themselves, so it's an Apple Store visit.

Apple products are not premium, they're just average computers with an over-designed case. They had no way to beat IBM in the 80s on hardware, so Jobs went with the design shtick. And it paid off much later, mostly due to a cultural shift, which made people obsessed with lifestyle and status objects.

Behind that polish it's basically the new AOL.

Seriously, iOS is a buggy piece of shit.

The Podcast app is a useless bugged piece of shit.
Every view can be broken easily if you use something like swiftkey because of Apples forced bullshit design patterns.
A lot of apps look like shit on the iPhone 6S Plus (even apps like Spotify) with full hd screen because of Apples bullshit design patterns and because everyone designed his app for 2010 tier phones.

iOS 9.0 was probably the most bugged iOS in the history of Apple, it was a fucking terrible joke and mostly unusable. I have no idea how they can get away with shit like this. But then again, Microsoft has been doing it for over two decades now.

It amazes me that you can't see the irony in the fact that you blither on about how "iOS shouldn't do this, ITS SHIT TO USE" when the only thing you're pointing out is an abstract bug that no user would ever do on their own. Such an oversight is completely reasonable to anyone who has actually had to develop and publish software before, considering no one in the right mind would change the date to January 1st under normal applications.
>>
>>52938374

Change the date to Janurary 1st, 1970.*

I hope I got this in before the autistic try pointing out my typo as an error in my point.

look, it may shock you to know but people with JOBS (no pun intended) can afford to buy a new iphone if they want.

And if I had a 6s I'd just wait for a 7.
Android losers can't wrap their heads around this because they're NEETs who depend on their mommy to buy them their cheapo phones.
This isn't damage control cause I'm literally laughing my ass of non-ironically that you losers would even bother with this stuff instead of trying to get your tiny microdicks wet.

I'm torn here...

A) Apple's stuff is generally less buggy and more secure. (Note that I did not say no bugs or 100% secure.) That's why poor fags like to jump up and down screaming "SEE!!!" when a major bug or exploit is found.

B) At the same time...damn it Apple, a simple date bug like this should NOT be in your fucking OS. Did you outsource this part of the code base to PooLand or something? Your code quality has gone downhill since Jobs died and it needs to stop unless you want to prove all the "hurr durr Apple is premium shit" faggots right.

so the flaw of thinking this will "forever" break someone's phone is if the battery dies to true 0. so if the phone is constantly powered on until it truly dies, this issue is null and void and your meemz are just another middle school babby attack

The start of Jan 1 1970 is where Unix time counts from in seconds. It is impossible to store a time value lower than this with the way it counts. Something that iOS does somewhere in the OS then delivers a date before then, which results in an integer underflow and the phone then shits itself.

Stop being such a fucking drone you cunt.

Apple has been going the same way as MS for a while now.

El Capitan was just as much of a mess. Broken rights management, inability to install a recent version of Xcode, etc.
