A bug found in Apple's iOS versatile working framework could conceivably "block" your iOS gadget. A few clients are reporting that tweaking the framework date on a scope of iOS gadget models is rendering the gadgets pointless. Apple is yet to recognize the issue.

Aficionados on Reddit report that changing the framework date on your iPhone or iPad (and your 6th era iPod touch) to January 1 1970 will restart the gadget, and constrain it onto a ceaseless bootloop. The influenced gadget, a lot of clients report, doesn't move beyond the Apple's logo startup screen.

Apple is yet to address the issue, and henceforth, discharge a patch for it. Gab on the Reddit string asserts that iPhone and iPad with 64-bit A7, A8, A8X, A9, and A9X SoC are affected.
