6, or 6s to January 1st 1970... It will brick your phone.

Turns out this rumor is true. I have an iPhone 6 that I tried it on. After scrolling all

the way back to January 1st 1970, I turned off the phone... and all it would do is power

cycle when I turned it back on.

It would stay on the apple logo for a few minutes, then turn off, turn back on... and

stay stuck in the fruit loop forever.

Now... you'd have to be pretty silly to intentionally cause damage to an expensive cell phone...

BUT if you or someone else you know has accidentally fallen for this prank, there is a way to fix

it. One way is to take it to the Apple store and have them do their thing. If that is not

an option, a simple unplugging of the battery will correct the software issue. Once the

battery has been unplugged from the frozen device, the date and time will automatically

reset, giving you full access to your phone again. To remove the battery, there are 2

small pentalobe screws at the bottom. Then you need to GENTLY lift the screen away from

the device. It helps if you have a little suction cup to help lift up. Then there are

2 more screws holding down the battery connection. Pop that off with a plastic pry tool. Wait

about 30 seconds before plugging it back in again.

Once that is finished, put everything back where it belongs, and your phone is as good

as new. The next time you need to time travel...better get an android.
