I wonder what happens if one sets the iOS clock forward to noon on Jan 19, 2038? (at 03:14:08 UTC on Jan 19 2038 the 32-bit signed time_t flips over).

- Elv13 11y agoWell, if they use 32bit time_t: Exactly the same is this bug. If they use 64bit time_t: Nothing unusual for the next 4 billion years or so until the sun explode.

- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoEven on 32-bit devices, all is fine. SSL certs don't validate, though, but that's merely because the date is wrong, not because it's a specific date.
