in the context of a possible multi-billion dollar class action, Apple finally apologized and corrected the called “Error 53″ has been disabling some iPhones repaired in unauthorized centers.
the technology giant released the iOS 9.2.1 update that fixes this problem, affecting owners of devices with digital fingerprint identifier (like the iPhone 6) who had arranged the screen or home button on your appliances service centers not authorized by the company.
And the Touch ID (fingerprint recognition system) function will not work in the affected devices : for safety reasons, to reinstall their owners will have to take them to an Apple store
. the company also promised to reimburse those who had had to pay to replace their devices as a result of failure.
“We apologize for the inconvenience this was designed as a factory test and was not expected to affect consumers, “said the apple company.
Many people resort to informal arrangements because they are cheaper or because there are unauthorized in the region where they live firms.
And Apple initially claimed that “Error 53″ was the “result of security patches.”
“If iOS is a mismatch, the review fails and Touch ID, including Apple Pay feature is disabled. This security measure is necessary to protect your device and prevent fraudulent use of the Touch ID sensor “then said the company, which, however, faced the threat of a millionaire trial.
the analyst Ben Wood of CCS Insight, welcomed the decision While recognizing that what he said Apple on error “made sense”.
“If you use your fingerprint to unlock sensitive data and make payments and someone could replace the screen and change the finger to control your cell module, this was not good “ said Wood.
But, according to the analyst, the anger of the users by the appearance of error retrospectively in the iPhone repaired, surprised Apple.
“I think (correct the problem) is a good decision for Apple,” he said.
