Apple re-released version 9.2.1 of its operating system, iOS , to fix the “Error 53″ that had paralyzed the iPhone whose owners had replaced some parts of the phone either by themselves or services not authorized by Apple repairs.
the new iOS 9.2.1 only to users to update their iPhone through iTunes on a computer Mac or Windows will be displayed. Most iPhone owners get updates remotely using your cellular connection, so they will not receive the replacement.
The ‘Error 53′ appeared in the iPhone 6 , 6S, and their respective ‘Plus’ (larger versions of these phones) who had received repairs outside Apple stores to repair primarily 3 things: 1) replace the Home button (which includes sensor fingerprint authentication for touch scanning identification); 2) cable This sensor; and 3) in some cases it was detected in repairs made to Replace the . Once the error appeared, the iPhone was in ‘state brick’ unusable.
The reports ‘Error 53′ provoked outrage among some owners of iPhone. Kyle Wiens, founder of iFixit.com , cataloged the error as a threat to repairs style ‘do it yourself’.
“The owners are entitled to compensation for their products and get them to be repaired by technicians of his confidence, “says Wiens.
This error also caught the attention of some lawyers in the United States. A week ago a Seattle law firm sued Apple on behalf of five applicants, and asked a federal judge to take legal action against the company.
In a statement several US media, Apple apologized for putting on ‘state brick’ iPhones of some of its customers.
“Today (February 18, 2016), Apple released a software update that allows customers who have encountered this error to successfully restore your device using iTunes on a Mac or PC. We apologize for any inconvenience “the statement read in relevant part.
Apple also enabled link to your website for those who have received this error message.
Apple has offered to reimburse customers who paid for a new iPhone after the company had indicated that there would repair its damaged by this error phones.
the company’s Cupertino (California, United States) also subtly changed its description of the mechanism behind ‘Error 53 ‘. Last week, Apple said the error message was “the result of security controls designed to protect our customers. IOS verifies that the touch sensor identification on your iPhone or iPad match well with other components of the device. If iOS finds an inconsistency, the check fails and Touch ID, along with Apple Pay payment platform, are disabled. This security measure is necessary to protect the device and avoid Touch ID sensor can be used fraudulently. “
Today, however, Apple simplified the definition of the error , saying it was a test “designed to see if Touch ID is working properly before the device leaves the factory.”
However, the operating system will continue checking for internal components that do not match , said Apple. If iOS How detects changed parts, still disabled Touch ID. The difference: the iPhone as a whole will end in ‘state brick’, still work, but not the
fingerprint sensor.
