Software History

iOS 10, the “biggest release of iOS ever”, is plagued by reports of ‘bricked’ iPhones and iPads. Thankfully, Apple was quick to release a fix.

After a few days of silence and idiots playing with the Unix gods and bricking their phones, Apple has finally acknowledged the bug that bricks phones with their clocks set to January 1, 1970. Curiously the support document on Apple’s site doesn’t list the well-known January 1 date, but May 1970 instead.

A new iOS 12 Messages feature is have some unintended consequences.

With the Reminders app on iOS 13 or later and iPadOS, you can create reminders with subtasks and attachments, and set alerts based on time and location.

You might not be able to send email with an Outlook.com, Office 365, or Exchange account until you update to iOS 11.0.1.
