D he already did it. the forced reset will not do any further harm.

One must be really crazy to do this. The article will only augment the number of cases... (not your fault, but your iPhone is bricked) šŸ˜

In General: There will never be a (complicated) OS that can be completely safe for really idiot actions!

Nobody sets accidentally a date to 1.1.1970 šŸ˜
