Apple confirms the failure of the date. You are already working on a solution

Last day 11 was made it known a problem in which if we configure a date from 1970, an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad may not be able to restart. At first it does not seem like a too serious failure, since no one is going to configure a date other than the current one and more taking into account that can brick our device, but it is worrying, since anyone who knows the failure can make the joke without grace of setting this date on our device.

A few hours later, and as usual, it was already available un tweak from Cydia that prevented this bug turned the iPhone into a beautiful and expensive brick. The tweak It is called BrickingDate and its early appearance made us think that the problem of the date does not have a difficult solution. Apple already has officially confirmed the existence of this bug and has done so on its official website, ensuring that it is already working on it and that a software update that is yet to come will solve, once and for all, a bug that had been with us for a long time (although was unknown).

If you changed the date to May 1970 or earlier and you cannot restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

Manually changing the date to May 1970 or earlier can prevent your iOS device from turning on after a reboot.

An upcoming software update will prevent this issue from affecting iOS devices. If you have this problem, contact Apple Support.

Apple's response has come as only four days after it is known this bug. It is clear that if a problem has already affected us, any deadline is already too late, but it is also true that Apple, as usual, has responded quickly. Everything seems to indicate that iOS 9.3 will be released along with the iPad Air 3 and the iPhone 5se, so it is likely that at any time iOS 9.2.2 will be released just to correct the date bug.
