WARNING: This bug will render your Apple devices useless

Apple users beware!


Why would you reset the date and time on your phone to 46 years ago? Well, because you may have been tricked by an Intenet troll.

A hoax image originally posted to 4chan appears to be a screenshot from the Apple website, purporting to share the news of a retro mode on iPhones that can be enabled by setting the device’s date to January 1, 1970.

It reads:

    Blast from the past


Whatever you do, do not do this! It will render your device unusable, and even an expert at an Apple Genius Bar may not be able to help.
