DON'T set your iPhone to 1 January 1970 or you'll break it
Apple is warning iPhone users not to fall for an internet hoax that leaves handsets useless and irreparable.A fake advertisement claims that changing the date on your iPhone to 1 January 1970 will give you a retro Apple design - it doesn't.And the date change will cause your phone to become permanently stuck while rebooting if it's switched off or runs out of battery.The bug affects the likes of the iPad Air, Mini 2 and any iPhone 5s onwards.The glitch was discovered last week, but a fake photo has been circulating on social media encouraging people to switch the date on iPhones 5s and upwards.
