"Got an Early iPhone or iPad? Update now or Turn it Into a Paperweight"

If you own an Apple iPhone 5, iPhone 4s or one of the early iPads with cellular connectivity, your device is about to be affected negatively by the GPS rollover problem. To avoid problems, one must update their device to iOS version 10.3.4 (iPhone 5) or version 9.3.6 (iPhone 4 and iPads), by November 3rd 2019. For users of IPads, the iPads affected are the cellular-enabled iPad mini, iPad 2, and the third-generation iPad. If the update is not completed, the phone will not be able to maintain accurate GPS location and will not be able to continue to use functions that rely on correct date and time including App Store, iCloud, email, and web browsing.  Losing the GPS stops the time and date being set, which immediately causes internet synchronization problems affecting services that need to connect to remote servers.
