So how many of you will be doing this in Apple stores now?

>>52954948
I'm sure it wont take them long to patch this.

It's probably some date centric app failing to validate. See this kind of thing with windows but it doesn't brick the OS.

Try setting the date on any OS to some fucked up time and see how much it fucks with the software.

>tfw GMT+10

There was only one person I wanted to do this to and I couldn't.

How do you even change the year?

the basingstoke store is usually pretty empty, if i could be bothered to go there i would.

Tweeted on sixteen different accounts. Make me proud, /g/.

wouldnt taking out the battery for a couple minutes do the trick and reset the time?

Unplug battery, replug battery. No new issues found

Shit. This is why we test our boundary cases. What kind of engineers and programmers is apple hiring?

>>52954948
>So how many of you will be doing this in Apple stores now?

Why would I want to do that? Don't you have anything more productive to do with your time than to be a menace to society?

>>52956404
>browsing /g/
>asking if we have nothing "productive" to do
Kill yourself, hypocrite.

>>52955911
the battery is embedded inside the layers of the PCB

>>52956513
yeah i read about that after i posted that...
maybe drain the battery all the way to zero?

>>52956385
The ones with marketing degrees.

Ayyyy lmaooooooo

>>52956531
Not gonna work. Or else peoples settings would reset every time they drain it completely.

>>52956574
Apple doesn't hire engineers. They hire artists.
And thats why shit like this happens.

Literally cancer. Kill yourself.

Would it fix itself within 12 hours as the time rolls back over?

>>52957658
Yeah, I wanted to ask about that too. Did anyone check this?

>>52957658
yes
this bricks your phone for a few hours if you live in burgerland

>>52957462
This one makes sense. You're a goddamned moron if you put your fucking phone in the microwave, changing the date is a whole nother story

>>52957395
You can completely drain an iDevice battery, it just takes a bit of time. You just sit there with your dead iPhone and keep trying to turn it on until it doesn't try anymore

>>52957711
So people who make an appointment at Apple Store to get it fixed likely just waited long enough for it to roll over and then they reboot the device in store and it is fixed.

>>52956288
Are you this retarded?
Its easy as fuck, the only problem is waiting for your tools to ship.

>>52958593
By the time they come in the issue will have solved itself

>>52954948
I'm not a fucking loser with nothing better to do like you OP

>>52957743
You're also a goddamn moron if you believe what the internet tells you without looking it up first.
One of the reasons why I don't see any real difference between these two things and why you are fucking cancer.

>>52958729
Yes, because you should expect anything bad to happen from changing the fucking date.

>>52955332
It's not an app, it's the entire OS because of the start of the Unix epoch

>>52958797
You should always expect something bad to happen from anything.

>>52958797
>Being this gullible
I remember when I was 7 :^)

>>52959092
Until you judge the situation with common sense. Every other time in the person's life changing the time on anything results in nothing but the time being changed. They have no reason to expect anything else.

>>52959124
You are juts ingenuous.

>>52955582
I will!

>>52958797
Back again, what these 2 said, basically. >>52959092
>>52959093

Also an altered version of
"The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
should jump right at your face every time you open your browser. Maybe then people would stop being fucking retarded.

>>52959894
See >>52959124

>>52956513
The battery is quite literally under 8 screws and 4 connectors.

Unscrew the two near the charging connector, pull the screen up from the bottom carefully with a suction cup, disconnect the touch ID scanner, unscrew the EMI shield covering the screen/microphone/camera connector then disconnect those as well, unscrew the EMI shield covering the battery connector then disconnect/reconnect the battery then reassemble. Not that hard desu.

>>52959918
No, that is totally invalid. The rules of common sense do not apply when we are talking about stuff you find online. The #1 rule online is, don't believe stuff unless you've looked it up well enough so you can actually trust its real or true.

Also, would you say its common sense to think that your phone changes its theme once the date gets set back to 1970?
Because its not. And I know, a normal person would not think that this bricks your phone, but also no educated person would believe that it changes your theme when using "common sense", so even if you think my first argument is invalid, yours is still wrong.

>>52960013
If something online said if you flip a lightswitch the lights would go on would you avoid your lightswitch till you can reference some offline sources?

>>52960013
>Also, would you say its common sense to think that your phone changes its theme once the date gets set back to 1970?
Easter Eggs exist. Normal people don't know about unixtime but they do know about Easter Eggs.

>>52960095
Bad example. This is not "common sense" but it bases around "empirical evidence"
>based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic.
Try again.

>>52960132
Yep, but I still wouldn't say its common sense to assume it in this and many other cases. Maybe its just me, but when someone told me about the easter eggs in some games (back when I was still a teenager) and some software, I most often didn't believe them at first.

>>52960147
You people are so fucking autistic it's not even funny
>durrhurr it's your fault for not expecting changing the time to brick your phone

>>52960198
You blew it, anon. Arguments > behaving like a fucking retard.
Also I was NEVER implying that its "your" fault for not expecting changing the time could brick your phone.

What I was implying was its "your" fault that you bricked your phone because you believed something that's written online that most likely sound improbable or very unlikely for some people without looking it up first.

>>52960268
Anon, theres no point in arguing with children. No matter how hard you try, they will still act victorious.

>>52955582
From a friend on Facebook.


>DO NOT SET YOUR DATE TO JANUARY 1, 1970 ON YOUR IPHONE!!! IT WILL CRASH IT AND IT WILL NEVER TURN ON AGAIN. EVEN APPLE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.


>it supposedly was a "easter egg" that apple planted in the code


We did it /g/.

>>52960610

I should've mentioned he said he did it and so did another person in the comments.

>>52959976
>not that hard
>had to unsrew every screw you found in your phone.

I wonder how many Apple consumers got laid during the time it takes you guys to do these shit posts.

>>52960268
Stop, your ass is exploding.

>>52960192
>I most often didn't believe them at first.
Thus you feel compelled to try it out yourself and prove them wrong?
Especially when it's as easy as changing the date on your phone?
Anyone who isn't savvy has no reason at all to expect a broken phone after chaning the fucking date.

>pfft, buddy. These are people that bought and support Apple products. They are the real menace to society.

>>52958797
Well, scientists expected the millennium bug to happen on the 1 January of 2000, so yeah

Why does /g/ hate Apple? Aren't Google Android products at their very core a vessel for showing your advertisements and selling as much data about you to 3rd parties?

>>52965909
Of course.
You may have heard of a rivier in Africa called De Nile. OP and his playmates are in it.

>>52965909
It's cool to hate what is popular, haven't you heard? We're all so different because of it, and unique.

>apple hardware can be bricked by changing the date
You literally can't make this stuff up

>>52966900
The hardware isn't literally dead, the OS is just in a permanent failure loop state.
Theoretically they'd just send it to the store and the store would flash the OS again, assuming they couldn't just flash the default settings.

>>52968488
>Theoretically they'd just send it to the store
Except if the iPhone has ever been serviced by someone who's not an iGenius in the iStore for iMoney then they won't touch it.

>>52954948
>takes about a minute of non-stop scrolling to brick one device, to say nothing of a few seconds to navigate there and get to the reboot sequence

i'm glad people on /g/ are this stupid.

>>52955332
it's fucking retarded that this even exists

nice one apple 'developers'

>>52956578
What does your autistic spew have to do with the image?

Apple has software in the demo models to reset any issues on them. If you manage to fuck that up they just reimage them.
