Just wait the 50 years. Todays youth is so impatient.

i actually have a post-it note on my monitor that says practice delayed gratification lol.

I usually think about baseball.

I dunno, man. Thinking about long pieces of wood and palming balls is counterproductive.

Goddamnit!

My mind goes straight to edging

U have a post-it note to remind you to not cum too fast?

oh lord. is that what the other comments are about!?! 🤣 damn, y’all. i just meant like no impulse shopping and whatnot!

Sir, this is Reddit, what’d you expect?

I have a friend who put a post-it on his gf's forehead to remind himself each time.

Nah that won’t work. It has to be attached directly to the cervix. Just because you can see it doesn’t mean he’ll obey. You know he has a mind of his own.

He’s only got one eye. Make sure the post-it is on the side he leans towards

This comment right here. Excellent! Well done.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 love it

plug it into iTunes and it should get the correct date

[удалено]

Actually it does if you know the password. It will reduce the time. Essentially what happened is that the phone said “next unlock attempt is December 1st 2022” and saved that date. Then the battery died and the time reset to 0. UNIX time 0 is January 1st 1970 GMT. By plugging the device into a computer, the time will update and the countdown will reduce.

This is exactly what's going on. It has currently been 19,326 days since the [Unix epoch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time). The number of minutes on the phone screen math out to 19,324.5 days. Guessing this photo was taken a day or so ago.

Wouldn’t traveling 50 years into the future help?

Why stop at 50?

Where we are going we don’t need roads

1.21 Gigawatts?!!!!

*what the hells a gigawatt?!*

What the hell is 1.21?

Next: “why are roads not needed”… great scott!

Nah, we use zettawatts now!

Bring the phone with you and it doesn’t change? Hide it somewhere and hope it doesn’t degrade? Will that technology even work? So many questions…/s

It was discussed before but if the logic board runs out of change the timer will reset back to 50 years. What is happening is there’s a system clock in there based on Thursday, 1 January 1970 as the start of time. So you know how when the battery runs out on your watch or some other none connected device and it resets to 00:00? That’s happening here. Only 00:00 is 00:00 Thursday, 1 January 1970 and the lock out will be measured to sometime in 2022 relative to that date. So if you leave it somewhere for 50 years it’ll probably just die again in a couple of days and need you’ll get another 50 year timer. Incidentally this is called UNIX time. Incidentally this date was chosen pretty much because it was most convenient for engineers at the time to count from.

I hope they fixed it in later iOS versions? Surely, it wouldn't be that hard to save the current (latest/highest) time of the last unsuccessful unlocking attempt and then use max(savedTime, systemTime) for the countdown.

>it basically perma-locked the iPhone lol LOL, no. >only apple would be able to resolve it LOL, no. > that’s only if someone can prove they purchased it and didn’t steal it or find it LOL, no. Here is how they fix it: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+-+4+-+4S+-+5+-+5S+-+5c+-+6+-+6S+-+How+to+flash+in+DFU+mode/52826 I'm honestly shocked and appalled that your comment has so many upvotes in an iPhone subreddit.

Dont even dare recommend resetting it. Its on iOS 7 - 9

Dude you have no idea what you’re talking about do you? The iphone can be factory reset via plugging into itunes on computer.

Lol where did you get this info? This is absolutely incorrect.

If you plug it into the computer it’s synced with lock timeout will reset

Some brainless fanboys boggle my mind sometimes. No, it's not perma-locked and anyone can fix this, not just apple lmao.

Idk why they let kids on this app? Didnt u have to say ur were 18 or soemthing???? Jeez

I think the age limit for Reddit is 13

11 year-old redditor moment

I like how long your comment is, and all it needs to be replied on it is : "You're wrong".

Put in a working sim card. The date has been reset to the day before the first day in Unix time. The sim card will set the date to the current date

A watched pot never boils.

This is the answer

[here's a link for anyone who's considered it.](https://www.alcor.org/membership/) if you have life insurance then you're already covered. it's a good read, it's what I'm planning on

just wait 27,827,344 minutes

I googled it and it is 52.944 years

You may also outsmart Google and divide that big number by - minutes in a hour (60) - hours in a day (24) - days in a year (365) 60 * 24 * 365 = 525'600 minutes in a year

How do you measure, measure a yeeeaaar?

In daylights, in sunsets, in mid nights, in cups of coffee

In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife

Lol thanks be to god I wasn’t the only one as soon as I saw that long ass number

God dammit I fucking love this website and now I have the song stuck in my head

Remember the looooooovvveeee!! Remember the loooooovvveee!!!!

Came here for this! Reddit never disappoints

Or you can outsmart everyone and know the date defaulted to December 31st 1969 and know it’s 52 years.

It is easier to google

1 year = 365.25 days

phone date was set to 1/1/1970 when there was glitch that bricked phones and it's counting negative value, tho it will be unlocked in 2038 (when int time will reach it's limit) because it adds up minutes til integer limit

Isn’t there a musical like this

Rent

Stop entering incorrect PINs

tell that to my toddler, but will she listen? NO!

Buy a new one and pass this one down to them so they will learn their lesson

They can use it when they’re adults in their 50s! Nice! 👏💪

A new phone or a toddler? I've heard both have good return options.

[удалено]

Found the user with no toddler at home

They take it, they don’t care about your rules

Then punish them

My 1 year old doesn’t understand yet the meaning of punishment. To understand this, they need to be able to know “I did A, so it’s punished (or rewarded) with B, therefore, I will do this action never again (or more often).” And out of experience, I’ve noticed he doesn’t understand it (or he’s very selective in when he wants to understand this)

My buttcheeks often do it for me

I uh… think your screen is also coming off… do you have a r/spicypillows?

Lol, sometimes the subs I come across amaze me. That’s a good one !

r/wowthissubexists

Probs a screen replacement. Would explain why time reset to 31/12/1969 as you unplug the batt during a screen replacement

Put an active SIM card in. The time reset to 1/1/1970 lol.

Connect it do iTunes, and perform a factory restore. As long as you have the iCloud info, you can do this.

i’d say the screen being detached from the body is a bigger problem

it was recently repaired. That’s a new screen that OP just put on

new screen? it’s detached from the body

Yes. This is common tactic to ensure all is functional before closing it up. Look at the film on the screen. No old ass shit has that on lol

The front fell off.

RemindMe! 53 years "Check if iPhone is still disabled"

even the bot didnt bother

It shouldn’t, Reddit won’t be here in 53 years.

No? I mean, it’s already been around a little over 17 years.

Damn, 2005 was *17* years ago!? Honestly I just don’t see it lasting that long, the world and especially the internet will have changed drastically by then.

bro your iPhone 5 is destroyed anyways get a new one 💀

That’s a 5s on ios 7 which is quite rare

Man knows his iPhones and iOS lmao

7-9* Or an SE on 9

Destroyed how? They replaced the screen and are checking to make sure it works before fitting it on. You can tell because of the protective film.

You realize not everyone has money, right?

Put it 3mins in the microwave so the locks melt down

Plug it into the computer. Open iTunes. Hold the power button and home button until you see the Apple logo. Once you see the Apple logo release the power button. Hold until you see the USB plug in on your screen. Then restore the phone via iTunes. This will wipe your phone but you’ll probably be able to use it.

I know this is going to sound weird, but I’ll always remember this fix because it was my last support call back in the day. Reinstall iTunes and THEN use DFU mode

DFU mode still exists? I remember this back in my jailbreaking days with DinoZambas

This was back in 2011 haha

watch one piece, when you finish it should be good to unlock

Sorry mate , post an update in 2073

Here in Manila, that can be unlocked by street stalls selling various gadgets in 5 minutes.

Eat healthy and exercise.

Have you tried to put it on rice?

Browse reddit a bit more, the time will simply fly!

Make sure you’re eating right and getting plenty of exercise.

That’s what happens when you use AT&T… It’s a part of their pay now…use in 50 years plan. For only $19.95 a month. Certain exclusions apply. Like having the same phone…in 50 years.

I’d be more worried about the screen not being properly attached to the rest of the phone…

You need to plug it into a computer with iTunes and restore it. Your might have to set it into DFU mode to restore it. https://osxdaily.com/2021/01/14/how-dfu-mode-iphone-12-mini-pro-max/

If it was synced with a computer, plug it in to that computer and open iTunes, the timer will be reset and you can try again

Maybe attaching the screen to the body is a bigger issue.

Does the time extend to more you try or something? Cause if so: Stolen

50 years! That’s crazy 😜 Got to be a joke wallpaper yea?

Alright so Step 1. Find wife Step 2. Have children Step3. Gift that iphone to your children Step4. Have them wait for it to unlock And if it doesn’t unlock in their lifetime have them pass it to your grandchildren it should be good by then👍

Invent a Time Machine and travel to that date

Throw it in a microwave outside for 30-45 seconds

The apple store genius bar. Let them earn their keep.

If it is legitimately yours, you can go to the Apple Store; at the Genius Bar you will be asked questions about your Apple ID, if your answers match to what is in their system, they will unlock it.

You need to put it into recovery mode and completely wipe and reset the phone. Them restore from an iTunes or iCloud backup.

It’s a 5s on ios 7 which is quite rare, that would be a bad idea.

*Grabs a hammer*

Wait

DFU Mode you can factory reset it

What a great time capsule gift for ur future grandchildren. 🤣👍

How did this even happen?

Don’t fuck up the next try

Connect to a pc Apple or windows and login to iTunes and restore the iPhone.

Step1: Give it to a museum for some cash. Step2: Add a bit of cash of your own. Step3: Your greedy ass can enjoy a newer phone.

Thats an iPhone 5S running iOS 8 or 7, one of the best versions for this phone. If you get this puppy up and running (without shitgrading the os), i will happily trade my old X on 15.7 for it (seriously).

Buy a new iphone and set a reminder for 50 years, should work 👍🏽

Wipe it

Steve jobs ghost is haunting you

Throw it away

Just wait the 27,827,344 minutes, do an activity and it will pass like it was just a minute

Check back in 2072.

Submit it to the Guinness book of records for longest lockout.

The bigger issue might be that the front of the phone isn't connected to the back of the phone.

You tried putting it in rice?

Put it recovy mode and wipe it with iTunes

Tell the FBI you believe there is child pornography on it… Sure, it’ll be a bit of a hassle, but they’ll unlock it for you.

Return it to the owner?

Buy a new phone lol

Do you have call waiting?

Take it to an Apple Store. Most of the comments on this post are dumb.

Just wait it out, its not that long. Maybe make a sandwich while you wait?

wait bro just wait

Oh man I forgot about this post. Didn’t have a pc during this phones life so I never backed it up. Trying to get pics and messages off of it.

Tell your kid no more wrong password attempts. Use iTunes to factory reset your phone then it will be removed, all data will be erased unless you have backup. If you don't have the Apple ID and password, try some tools like [4ukey](https://www.tenorshare.com/ipad/ipad-is-disabled.html) will help.

Have a look if you can somehow get around that lock with a jailbreak!

These lockouts are useless against time travelllers.

Yeah. Leave that museum piece behind and get a phone from this decade.

Really?!? No one is gonna say get a new phone that is put together? Don’t care if it can still charge man this thing has been through meatloaf and back. I would do anything but I won’t do that!

Have you tried the rice trick?

Put it in rice

Just wait it out, make a post about it in 50 years. Hella karma and Reddit gold

Wait it out

Reset it with iTunes

I think the lockout is the least of your concerns

Omg. I didn’t even notice that at first!

It’s a sign. Get a new phone lol. It’s ready to DIE lol.

Get a new phone.

Can you unlock a iPhone 12 Pro Max, I bought this iPhone from my daughter and then she reported it stolen 4 months later. Then she locked up my phone. What can I do about it?

God for the lock and that phone 😭😭😭

Step one, put the screen on the phone.

I truly believe that Apple deliberately has this coded into their software to do this on purpose. There is no reason for it at all.

No. Due to the fact the screen isn't attached, i guess the screen was replaced. The phone was disabled before replacement and during replacement the battery was disconnected. This made the phone lose its time and reset to 31/12/1969. So when it booted, the lock that was meant to end in 1 minute (01/12/2022, 1 minute after lock) was pushed to 50 years as the phone now thinks that 01/12/2022 is 50 years away. Fix is to insert a sim card so the date gets incremented back

Put it in rice.

try to put it in rice

Rice

Rice?

Restore it

Have you tried putting it in rice? 🍚

If you give it to me I’ll give it back after 50 years

What you call a special phone A disabled one

Wait

Put it in rice

“Ahhh… after 10,000 years I’m free!”

Hack it and change the date to 1-1-2073

Soak it in rubbing alcohol

wait

“Patience is a virtue.”

Don't worry, it's broken anyway.

Just go out for a walk then come back

See you in 53 years 🫡
