iPhone's "January 1, 1970" problem to be resolved with software update

Apple has announced that it is preparing an update to fix the ``January 1, 1970'' iPhone issue that has been a hot topic for the past few days.

If you changed the date to May 1970 or earlier and can't restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Manually changing the date to May 1970 or earlier can prevent your iOS device from turning on after a restart.

An upcoming software update will prevent this issue from affecting iOS devices. If you have this issue, contact Apple Support.

According to Apple, if you set the date to a date before May 1970 and restart it, your iPhone will no longer start.

In the first place, it is impossible to set the date to a date before May 1970 in normal use, but at this point there is a risk that the iPhone will not start up.

I would like to see support for iOS updates as soon as possible.
Will it be "iOS 9.2.2" or "iOS 9.3"? Or maybe...?
