As reported earlier, a new bug has been discovered in iOS that could potentially brick your device and prevent it from running. According to a video that has surfaced, setting your iPhone’s clock to January 1, 1970 will cause your device to lockdown and get stuck on the boot up screen.

A trip to the Apple Store is the only thing that will fix the issue. Some users have said they’ve been able to get to the DFU screen, and when the device is plugged into their computer, iTunes even recognizes it, but it won’t get past the initial boot screen.

If you’re afraid that your friends might pull out a prank on you with this new bug then you should definitely check out a new jailbreak tweak
