Un very strange iOS bug appeared during this day, affecting millions of iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users on the planet, and if you look at the image below you will notice that we are talking about strange emails displayed in the Mail application.
More precisely, some iDevice users have started to receive emails from January 1, 1970, having no content or sender, but being simply empty, the error appearing for the first time in Apple's iOS operating system.
A few weeks ago it was discovered that setting the date to January 1, 1970 locks an iPhone or iPad, and now we notice that Apple starts sending emails from that date and of course there is no explanation for this extremely strange bug.
The bad part is that these emails cannot be deleted by users and are permanently displayed in the Mail application, so it remains to be seen what else Apple will do this time to solve a problem that no one ever expected.
The way it works is that the data is stored as a continuously increasing collection of over a billion seconds (ignores timezone conversions, easy for computers to handle in binary). This is typically called Unix time or Epoch time. For example, the current time right now (in this format) is about Sur les 1.45 milliards. Like I said, it's easy for a computer to handle this number to store the data in binary, especially on a 64-bit device. Well, if it's 1.45 billion right now, what's 0? The answer is January 1st, 1970, at midnight.
