[MacTUG] Pointers Extra: Recovering your iPhone from a January 1, 1970 crash | MacNN

[Marlon A. Griffith]

"""
As reported, if a user of an iPhone sets the date back to January 1, 1970 -- the "zero" date in the UNIX world, iPhones have been crashing. Apple is aware of the issue, and has issued a brief statement about the matter, saying that a fix is incoming. However, after some trials today, we've confirmed that there are a few ways to recover the phone, depending on your level of skill, and/or patience with the process.
