注意：iPhone設(shè)置成這個時間會變磚

Apple is warning iPhone users not to fall for an internet hoax that leaves handsets useless and irreparable.
針對近日出現(xiàn)的一則網(wǎng)絡(luò)惡作劇，蘋果公司提醒iPhone用戶不要上當(dāng)，否則iPhone可能崩潰，且不可恢復(fù)。

A fake advertisement claims that changing the date on your iPhone to 1 January 1970 will give you a retro Apple design - it doesn't.
一條假冒的廣告聲稱：把你iPhone上的時間調(diào)成1970年1月1日，你的手機會呈現(xiàn)復(fù)古風(fēng)——其實并沒有。

And the date change will cause your phone to become permanently stuck while rebooting if it's switched off or runs out of battery.
改成這個日期后，如因關(guān)機或電量耗盡而重啟，你的iPhone將永久性死機。

The bug affects the likes of the iPad Air, Mini 2 and any iPhone 5s onwards.
該漏洞會影響到iPad Air、Mini 2以及任何iPhone 5s之后的機型。

The glitch was discovered last week, but a fake photo has been circulating on social media encouraging people to switch the date on iPhones 5s and upwards.
這一漏洞是上周被發(fā)現(xiàn)的，此后就有一條騙人的圖片在社交媒體流傳，鼓動網(wǎng)友給自己的iPhones 5s等機型修改顯示時間。

Users were meant to be able to discover an Easter egg in the form of a 1970s-style multicolored Apple logo and design.
虛假信息聲稱，iPhone用戶改時間后，會在手機上發(fā)現(xiàn)一個有彩色蘋果商標的復(fù)活節(jié)彩蛋，呈現(xiàn)出上世紀70年代的風(fēng)格。

Instead, when the phone is turned off and turned on again, it refuses to reboot, displaying the Apple home screen and going no further.
不過事實情況是，手機被重啟后，再也無法運行，會一直顯示蘋果主界面，無法進行任何進一步操作。

Incidentally, Apple wasn't even around in 1970. It was founded six years after that.
順便告訴你，1970年的時候還沒有蘋果公司呢。蘋果成立于1976年。

Any iOS device with a 64 bit processor will be affected.
任何配置了64位處理器的iOS設(shè)備都會中招。

So the iPhone 5s, 6, 6 Plus, 6s and 6s Plus, the iPad Air 2, the iPad Mini 3 and 4, and the sixth-generation iPod Touch.
包括了iPhone 5s、6、6 Plus、6s、6s Plus，以及iPad Air 2、iPad Mini 3、4和第六代iPod Touch。

Apple confirmed the issue on its website, and said an upcoming software update would provide a solution.
蘋果公司已在官網(wǎng)上確認了該問題的存在，并表示即將發(fā)布軟件更新解決這一問題。

Taking the device to an Apple store and getting a new one seems to be the only answer for iPhone users who have fallen victim to the hoax at the moment.
對于已經(jīng)中招的iPhone用戶，憑舊手機到蘋果商店換一部新的似乎是唯一解決途徑。
