Can you imagine not being able to take your car to an unofficial workshop? Well if you have an iPhone and it has been repaired by a third party other than Apple, iOS 9 error 53 can make it unusable Of course, a real problem, which shows that Apple sometimes plays dirty… but also that its obsession with our privacy seems to have no limits.
The error 53 problem usually occurs on iPhone 6, and occurs when it has been repaired by an unofficial technical service. Occurs when replacing the home button, with its fingerprint sensor, although changing the screen can also cause this, probably by affecting the Touch ID sensor connector.
Error 53 of repaired iPhones It only manifests itself when installing iOS 9 The terminal can spend months working fine, but when updated to iOS 9 shows error 53. Users are not warned that new software can cause something like this, so the anger is monumental when their very expensive and exclusive iPhone 6 is disabled.

Unfortunately, error 53 cannot be fixed. As of today, when going to an Apple technical service they will only offer us to replace the smartphone The data stored on the affected unit cannot be recovered. Basically, our iPhone 6 becomes useless.
Error 53 protects iPhones from hackers
This problem seems to be affecting thousands of users since the release of iOS 9. It is obvious that this measure prevents unofficial technical services from replacing the home button of an iPhone 6, and that benefits Apple, which charges a very high price for doing so.
However, Apple defends itself: error 53 is a security mechanism that prevents changing the iPhone's fingerprint sensor from being used to bypass its securityOfficial technical services can synchronize a new sensor with an older iPhone, but third-party services do not have that possibility.

So, if you have an iPhone 6 with a fixed home button, don't update to iOS 9, or error 53 could leave it unusable. Of course, it is a controversial issue, which each one will interpret differently.
What do you think of iPhone error 53? Is it designed to keep us safe, or so that the iPhone cannot be repaired by an unofficial technical service?
