Take a 64-bit iOS device—iPhone 5S or newer, iPad Air or newer, iPad Mini 2 or newer, sixth generation iPod touch or newer—laboriously set its date to January 1, 1970, and reboot. Congratulations: you now have a shiny piece of high-tech hardware that's stuck at the boot screen, showing nothing more than the Apple logo... forever

So if some prankster grabs your phone or iPad and starts spending a lot of time doing swiping and it's not Fruit Ninja, best get it back off them quick.

Never will affect me, not into 'I' anything.....

Never owned an I-phone as my 10 year old 'Captain Kirk style' pay-as-u-go flip phone still works fine.

Never owned an I-pad, except to use one in my office (where some idiot left it), to put my tea cup on.

Sorted

Always been an Android.
Life? Don't talk to me about life.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary
