January 1, 1970 iPhone Glitch. What is it? & How Do I Repair This Issue?

January 1, 1970: What is it?
So, there is a rumor/'prank' going around that if you change the date on your iPhone
6, or 6s to January 1st 1970... It will brick your phone.
Turns out this rumor is true. I have an iPhone 6 that I tried it on. After scrolling all
the way back to January 1st 1970, I turned off the phone... and all it would do is power
cycle when I turned it back on.
It would stay on the apple logo for a few minutes, then turn off, turn back on... and
stay stuck in the boot loop forever.

Now... you'd have to be pretty silly to intentionally cause damage to an expensive cell phone...
BUT if you or someone else you know has accidentally fallen for this prank, there is a way to fix
it. 

How To Fix It:

Method 1:
did not get much feedback from the last video I made about how to get unstuck from the Apple boot loop logo. I assume the instructions may have been a bit unclear. This one's a completely different method.

If you've backed up the device then great, if not, I recommend backing up your
device from this day forward (on a monthly bases) to prevent data loss in the 
future.
Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for any loss of data, this article is meant
to inform. You will loose all the data on the device 
after restoring your iPhone, iPod, or iPad. 

Let's get started. All you'll need for this
method is a computer that has access to iTunes and your charger.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1. Make sure your device is completely turned off and connected to the PC.
Step 2. Hold the power and home button at the same
time and keep holding it until the Apple logo lights up.
Once the Apple logo goes away it will seem like the device is turned off. 
Immediately let go of the power button while still holding the home button

Step 3. After about seven seconds of holding the home button, your computer 
will tell you
"iTunes has detected your device is in recovery mode" even though the screen
on your iPhone, iPod, and iPad is "Turned Off."

Step 4. Click OK on your computer then hit restore on iTunes.
And that should be it. If this helped you in any way, be sure to give it a 
thumbs up. Got any questions or suggestions for a future 
blog post? leave it in the comments below. If you'd like to see anymore videos of this nature, be sure to click the  button, and I'll see you in the next one. You may also find some of these repair videos helpful, so definitely checkout the phone repair playlist: 

Anyways guys. Bendji D. here from Get Fixed and I'm out. Peace.

Method 2: 
A simple unplugging of the battery will correct this software issue. If that is not
Once the battery has been unplugged from the frozen device, the date and time will automatically reset, giving you full access to your phone again.

To remove the battery, there are 2
small Pentalobe screws at the bottom. Then you need to GENTLY lift the screen away from
the device. It helps if you have a little suction cup to help lift up. Then there are
2 more screws holding down the battery connection. Pop that off with a plastic pry tool. Wait
Once that is finished, put everything back where it belongs, and your phone is as good
as new. 

In conclusion

The next time you need to time travel...better get an android.
I hope this video was helpful! Share this video with anyone who might be effected by
the glitch. Thank you for subscribing! I hope to see you around.

Car Insurance Explained, & What to Do After a Car Accident!

Car Insurance Explained, & What to Do After a Car Accident!


YouTube Transcript:

0:00
hey let's talk car insurance what is car insurance well I'll tell you
0:20
car insurance protects you from a huge financial loss basically you pay a
0:24
premium monthly usually to your insurance company and an exchange if you
0:28
get into a wreck the insurance company will help you cover your losses car
0:32
insurance includes three different types of coverage number one property which
0:36
will pay if your car is stolen or damaged to liability which pays for
0:41
legal obligations to others for bodily injury or property damage and number
0:45
three medical which pays for hospital bills rehabilitation and sometimes lost
0:50
wages or funeral expenses
0:52
part 2 money matters so how much coverage should you get well that
0:56
depends on different things such as your car's value whether you own the car
1:00
outright and how much in damages you can afford to cover out of pocket on your
1:04
own naturally your monthly premium will vary depending on the amount of coverage
1:08
like for instance it costs more to ensure the echo mobiel than it does to
1:13
say cover Mr Bean's little mustard yellow car festival in the world kid and
1:18
don't you forget it very important no just because you pay premium that
1:21
doesn't mean you'll pay nothing when you get into a wreck most likely you'll have
1:25
something called a deductible the deductible is the amount of money that
1:28
you have to pay for your insurance starts kicking in so let's say you total
1:33
your $5,000 car in Iraq and your deductible is $1000 that means that you
1:40
are going to pay the first thousand dollars to get your car replaced and
1:43
your insurance will pay the remaining four thousand in the good old USofA
1:47
nearly all states require that you have car insurance if you're going to own or
1:51
drive a car so it's super important to get it also the remaining states still
1:55
require that you've proved that you could afford to cover all damages if you
1:59
get into a wreck so basically for the privilege of not paying a monthly
2:04
premium on insurance your gambling potentially hundreds of thousands of
2:08
dollars if not more so we would say crowd get insured
2:13
blogger blog 13 how to get insured is actually really simple you can get
2:19
quotes online or over the phone very quickly from dozens of competitors
2:23
insurance company will need a bit of information about you and your card also
2:27
likely run a credit report and look up your accident history once you get a
2:31
quote you like to start paying premiums and they will send you your insurance
2:35
card which he should keep with your car at all times how come my I'll tell you
2:39
how come because part for a colossal wreck boundless and bare vs the first
2:46
person to tell me what that quote is from in the comments
2:48
is officially an awesome adult step 1 post accident if you can get your car
2:54
and your self off the road and into someplace safe if you cannot move your
2:58
car and leave it there but make sure you get out of the dangerous situation your
3:02
insurance company will pay to get a tow truck to take your car away either way
3:06
though put on your hazards if you have any of those reflect her eyes triangles
3:10
be sure to put those out if you have one of those road flares careful cause the
3:14
burn you they're not just like fun with their not a glow stick for crying out
3:17
loud to learn his lesson the hard way this guy lot of raids in the nineties
3:22
none of this was true
3:23
next wrangle up 1.5 this might be slightly uncomfortable but do not offer
3:27
any apologies or explanations for what caused the wreck they can be used
3:31
against you in future legal proceedings step 2 should you call the police
3:35
we recommend that you do admittedly it is not illegal to not call the police
3:39
but to quote you as News and World Report's even if no one is hurt if
3:43
there's real damage insurance companies will soon do battle it's a good idea to
3:46
call 911
3:48
that's the recommendation from the federal government's website 911 dot gov
3:51
which recommends calling after a car crash especially if someone is injured
3:55
if you call 911 or your local precincts in bringing a neutral third party to
3:59
document the accident you'll be doing yourself a favor
4:01
it's true that it might take a little while for the police to get there if you
4:04
live in a big city or they're just like super busy that day but still we
4:08
recommend erring on the side of caution and calling them and either way you're
4:11
going to have to file an accident report to the police more info in the new
4:16
leader to step 3 daughter the other driver's information and volunteer your
4:19
own
4:20
write down these things and if you call the police you get their phone number of
4:24
their badge number there
4:25
named the number of the police report and request a copy of the police report
4:29
having all this info will save you a lot of headaches in step 4 file a claim
4:34
after this he has cleared call your insurance company immediately to start
4:37
the claims process your insurance card should have a 24 hour phone number on
4:41
the back of it and your insurance agent should call you within one business day
4:45
to help you with the claim your insurance agent should also be able to
4:48
help you basically every step of the way throughout the process after an accident
4:52
that you are deemed responsible for it's possible that your premiums are going to
4:56
go up that's because the insurance company sees you as a riskier
4:59
investments however this is not for certain because a lot of different
5:04
companies have different policies on rate increases so just know that it
5:07
might vary a lot of people driving is a big part of adulthood and it is a huge
5:11
responsibility basically you're piloting a two-time missiles so drive sober put
5:17
down your phone and maintain legal speed limits that way you'll be avoiding the
5:21
three most common causes of accidents I speak for everyone here at how to adult
5:25
when I say you guys are awesome so please be safe please be safe I love you

Dual Rear Facing Camera On The IPhone 7?

There's been a lot of speculations about what may be on the IPhone 7, everything from IP68 waterproof to no headphone jack, all that seems somewhat plausible but today we're going to be taking a look at just one rumor. Dual rear facing camera.

My thoughts:

Although Apple is known for being innovative, here are two reasons I don't believe this feature will be in the upcoming IPhone 7.

1. Doing this requires that Apple re configures the motherboard for this to work.

2. Dual rear facing camera was already predicted to be on the IPhone 6 and 6S back in 2015. Take a look:  


This isn't the first this rumor has surfaced it definitely will not be the last. 
The rumor will continue to be recycled, and you guys will just eat it up. 

Also checkout this YouTube video from CNET for more details:




          YouTube Transcript:

          What's good Bendji D. here with the Apple by for the good and bad inside.
Apple there's plenty of new rumors, we'll get to Apple's earnings. But we start off
there are 2 5.5 inch versions of the iPhone 7+1 with a single iSight camera
and the other with a dual camera designed now the iPhone seven-plus with
the dual camera design would take advantage of last year's acquisition of
israeli camera technology company links imogene Linksys technology brings
multiple sensors and a smaller size which could help eliminate the iPhones
protruding camera nipple another camera can also take a Salar quality photos was
significantly better noise reduction improved low-light photos and even
includes 3d data mapping so if you're wondering how much better than the
iPhone's camera get this could be it also a new report from 925 max's Apple
will likely debut the new iPad area three and a mid-march event target for
marks the 14th it will be the first update to the mid-size I've had since
October 2014 and an unconfirmed design schematic showed it off with potentially
four speakers like the iPad pro and even more curious possible flash on the
camera for the first time I don't want that the long rumored iPhone 5 sec
formerly known as the long rumored iPhone 6 see will also be announced at
the event with its curved edges shown up in this purported photo from the one
more thing forums now the new iPhone 5 as E is expected to bring Apple pay live
photos and the a 99 processor chipset so that it's not completely behind when the
eighth and equipped iPhone seven releases but that name like what could a
stand for the iPhone 5 special edition or maybe self-esteem or the iPhone Cinco
si
I'm for reals new Apple watch bands including new colors for the rubber
sports fans more colors for the air maze bands and a black version of the
Milanese loop are expected at the event as well
an Antec reports Intel release an updated processor list that includes new
skylight chips that could be used for an updated 15 inch Retina Mac Book Pro all
of these are quad-core options and the delays in getting these out have in turn
pushed back an update for Apple's Mac Book lines we could hear something
about an update in March but more likely it will happen at WWDC in June where
Apple has introduced new Mac Book hardware in the past
all right let's talk Apple's financial results it was another record quarter
without posting seventy five point nine billion dollars in revenue and net
quarterly profit of 18.4 apple sold a record 74.8 million iPhones in the
quarter just beating out the 74.5 million sold the year before
Mac sales were down to 5.3 million units compared to 5.5 and the same quarter
last year and iPads took another nasty hit down a 16.1 million compared to
twenty one point for a year ago even with the introduction of the new iPad
pro ouch no apple also touted a record Apple watch an Apple TV quarterly sales
but still declined to actually give sales numbers but when you look at the
numbers Apple's iPhone growth is really hit a wall that's their bread and butter
and apples expecting its first decline ever of iPhone sales for the next
quarter and also in its other categories like the iPad impacts their declining as
well especially the iPad I've said in past shows the IPRO was just so neat and
that it really wouldn't change the iPad's fortunes and guess what that held
true
2016 really looks very flat with little innovation happy for Apple right now and
during the earnings calls Tim Cook was asked if virtual reality was a geeky
need for something that can go mainstream Cook said he does not believe
you are as a nation he said it's really cool and it has some interesting
applications we know Apple has a small team working on augmented reality was
recently hired some experts in the BR space too big a has filed multiple
patents for virtual reality products
over the years that we've shown you including their own video goggles and 3d
virtual interfaces but they are pioneering this stuff and they are very
late to the game really they aren't even in it right now all the innovation is
happening with oculus Samsung him anymore but not apple and if you're
someone who loves the idea of an apple car a report from Apple Insider says
there's been a hiring freeze on project Titan after multiple execs including
Apple design team Johnny I have become unhappy with the product direction in
progress this comes after the Wall Street Journal reported that product
tie-ins had Steve Sadowski told colleagues that he was leaving the
company for personal reasons so we're gonna be alright that's gonna do this we
show you can email us at the Apple by the Senate outcome or Trina brian Tong
and I'll answer them after I finish my personal arts and crafts time they
swatching will catch on next time for the bite of the Apple
with the iPhone seven. and a report by KJ securities means she quote that claims
