Do NOT Reset Your iPhone to this Date

If you ever change your iPhone to this date your device will be disabled.

The date to avoid is January 1st, 1970.

Apple users are reporting the glitch and saying it's impossible to get the phone to restart. Even connecting it to a computer and trying to restart it through iTunes doesn't work.

If you're like me, reading this probably makes you want to try it - don't do it!

Here's a video demonstrating how changing the date shuts down your phone:

Apple hasn't commented on the bug.
