January 1, 1970

January 1, 1970 was the day unix time began and causes the IPhone to crash. Setting your phone to this date and powering it off and back on leaves it on the greeting screen. It was detected as a bug this past Thursday, but could potentially be that your phone is counting negative time. Although Unix time can be negative, for some reason the phone crashes and it is not recommended that you do this not even if you are in GMT. Apple has not addressed if they plan on fixing the issue.
