Bootloop iphone when the date is January 1, 1970

A rather interesting video appeared on youtube yesterday. In the video, the guy puts the date on the iphone on January 1, 1970, and after rebooting the phone goes to the bootloop. Details under the cut.



If you put the date on January 1, 1970 1:00. Allegedly, this is due to the fact that time is calculated in seconds and, with such a value, it goes into a minus, which blows down the roof of iOS.

But it is known that UNIX time begins on January 1, 1970 at midnight and everything seems to be in order.

But as shown in another video, the person who repeated this experiment in the name of a refutation or confirmation that recovery via iTunes does not bring the phone to life.

All iphone on x64 architecture on A7, A8, A8X, A9 and A9X processors are affected by this vulnerability.

Actually here's the video:
