Apple has warned iPhone 5 users to update their software or risk losing all access to the internet via the devices.
Users who will not have downloaded iOS 10.3.4 by the 3rd of November will also be locked out of any and all features that rely on time and date.
Among the key features that require correct time and date are; App Store, email, web browsing and iCloud.
The 10.3 while not the latest version, is the most up to date version available for the 2012 iPhone model.

They are required to make the necessary updates by this coming weekend.
Before the 3rd of November, updates will be possible wirelessly, or via connection to a computer.
Post November 3rd updating via Mac or PC will be their only option.
