cliffy Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Just saw a news report on iPhones (old ones) having to have a software update due to a clock reset in space. Wondering if anyone knows about this or how it might affect older GPS nav units in planes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamR Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 There was one earlier this year and now one in Nov. My personal phone is an iPhone 5 (little embarrassed to write that publicly) and received a message to be sure to upgrade my iOS otherwise the phone will brick.

carusoam Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Have no fear... If you can keep an old i device working... it takes a special skill... (patience) Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagarin Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Will this affect my old trusty pocket watch or my sun dial? Edited November 5, 2019 by Gagarin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
