Apple is the first smartphone manufacturer to release the first 64 bit smartphone in the model iPhone 5s and then all the devices after that has 64 bit processor. Recently a bug has been revealed in all 64 bit Apple devices.
The date settings in the idevices allows the user to manually set the date and if the date has been set to Jan 1 1970 then the device crashes and get bricked.
Set the device to the date and then reboot it thats it then the device will hang in the Apple logo screen and wont boot up. This affects all iPhone, iPad and also iPod Touch models running 64 bit processor. Devices running in 32 bit is not affected.
The bug was due to the internal Time epoch calculation in Linux that causes the kernel to crash and according to some source it is said that even the recovery options cant help to get the device to normal condition.
The only way is to remove the battery from the logical board casing and this can only be done by Apple Personnel.
Few also posted that leaving the battery to drain will bring the device back to normal and there has been no official information and Apple is yet to release a patch to fix the bug.
It is highly recommended DO NOT TRY THIS IN ANY DEVICE AND THE AUTHOR OF THE POST IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE.
P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to be missued.
