New ‘Evil’ WiFi Could Result In Bricked iPhones/iPads

Apple already fixed a bug related to its previous ‘1970’ problem, which allowed people to render their devices useless if the clock and date were set to a specific point in time, but your phone remains vulnerable unless you have the most recent firmware.

Admittedly, this might feel a little like deja-vu as Apple already rolled out a previous fix to stop people from deliberately bricking the iPhones but this issue is a little different, according to Krebs on Security.
