Online trolls are tricking people into completely breaking their iPhones.

Numerous tricks are circulating online that encourage people to switch their phone back to 1 January, 1970, and then restart it. But doing so confuses the phone and forces it to break, and it is only possible to bring it back by going to an Apple Store.

On its website, Apple says: "Manually changing the date to May 1970 or earlier can prevent your iOS device from turning on after a restart.

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