  • 1970 iPhone Bug
rdfs:comment
  • The 1970 iPhone Bug was a bug similar to Fontal in iOS 8.x and 9.x that prevents your iPhone from turning on after restarting, as it will constantly reboot. This issue does not appear in iOS 7 or earlier, and only affects iPhone 5S and higher (it does not affect iPhone SE or higher, as it comes with iOS 9.3 pre-installed) and iPad Air/Mini 2 (64-bit devices). However it is not considered malware, but a bug. This can destroy and completely brick your iPhone and make it useless, or even worse.

  • The 1970 iPhone Bug was a bug similar to Fontal in iOS 8.x and 9.x that prevents your iPhone from turning on after restarting, as it will constantly reboot. This issue does not appear in iOS 7 or earlier, and only affects iPhone 5S and higher (it does not affect iPhone SE or higher, as it comes with iOS 9.3 pre-installed) and iPad Air/Mini 2 (64-bit devices). However it is not considered malware, but a bug. This can destroy and completely brick your iPhone and make it useless, or even worse. If you set your iPhone's time to 1970 or earlier, it would make your phone fail to turn on. However, it was fixed in iOS 9.3, although it can still be obtained by setting your internet to 1970.
