Setting the date to 1 January 1970 will brick your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

So in theory I could create a SDR setup using openBTS and then go around sending a GSM date of 1970-01-01 &quot;bricking&quot; iphones left and right?<p>Alternatively a bug or misconfiguration in the GSM time service could &quot;brick&quot; phones.
