This simple thing will turn your iPhone into a useless brick
- 8 years ago
A lot of Apple iPhone users are furious after finding that their smartphone has been turned into a useless “brick.”
It’s happening because they are using third-party repair services, which causes the dreaded “Error 53” that Apple has installed in the iOS operating system to prevent Touch ID-related security problems, according to a Top Tech News report.
Rumors about Error 53 had been circulating for a while, but Apple has only just now confirmed them.
One user wrote about his iPhone 6 Plus dying after disabling the Touch ID because he was having problems using it.
When he eventually upgraded to iOS 8.3, he got the following message: “An unknown error occurred (53)” Now, other iPhone users have come out of the woodwork to say they’ve gotten the same problem.
A support page on the Apple site that was posted on December 21 advised iPhone owners who had the problem to reach out to Apple Support to resolve it.
Meanwhile, anticipation of iPhone 7 continues to build, as news of more features leaks out.
