It is known that there is a case in which "error 53" occurs as "a case where the version is upgraded to iOS 9 after repairing the home button by a third party other than Apple".

The most important of these is apparently the state of the home button. The home button of the iPhone 6 has a built-in Touch ID that performs fingerprint authentication, but if you bring this part to an Apple informal repair shop and exchange it, the terminal will be locked for "security" It seems that things are happening.

Antonio Ormos who freelance photographer himself admits himself as "Apple believer" looks back to the same "damage" as follows. Olmos who was visiting the Balkan Peninsula for interviewing refugee problems said that he dropped the iPhone during the interview. Olmos who needed to use the iPhone by all means for work but it was unavoidable because we did not have an Apple Store in Macedonia where we had been visiting because of the interview, we forced to bring the terminal to the local repair shop and request the repair. After repair is completed, it seems that iPhone could be used without any problems in particular.

After that, Orlos received a notification updating iOS to version 9 when he forgotten to repair. Especially there was no warning message and it was an ordinary update and it was Ormos who started updating, but a few seconds later the letter "Error 53" is displayed on the screen and the terminal is locked. After that, no operation was accepted, literally the iPhone became "dead".

Olmos, who has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Apple so far, brought the literary iPhone to the Apple Store in London, but the staff said that he was told that "I can not do anything" about. Olmos, said to take 270 pounds (about 46,000 yen) for exchange, seems to have reached anger mode as a matter of course.

In response to this incident, Mr. Ormos says, "Is there such a thing like this? Which company can do a manager that makes the terminal a jeal when upgrading without prior notice to the user? One step from developed countries When you go out, the Apple Store is not so many, most if at all it is a very far place In such a place, there are only local small repair shops that can repair a broken iPhone.First of all, It is doubtful whether such a repair shop knew that such a problem would occur, "he says of anger against Apple.

Numerous devices including the iPhone"IFixit" famous for getting apart as soon as releasedKyle Waynes says, "At the iFixit site, you can see that 'error 53' has been browsed for more than 180 thousand items and it is a big problem for Apple users. ' . Also, regarding the condition under which the problem occurs, "It seems that it is one of the reasons that it is due to replacing the home button or cable at the time of repair.If you upgrade iOS after the exchange, genuine parts are used for the terminal If you find a part other than genuine here, the terminal will be locked There is no warning in advance and I do not know how to revive again. " It is revealed that once the problem occurs, there is nothing to be done.

Apple's public relations woman told The Guardian Money that he covered Apple on this matter, "Apple has protected fingerprint data by using secure areas, and its mechanism is paired with Touch ID components This pairing is updated and revalidation takes place when a genuine Apple service provider makes repairs to exchange Touch ID.This mechanism allows you to tap the ID of the iOS function associated with the Touch ID In this no pairing situation there is a possibility that it may be replaced with a malicious Touch ID sensor and there is a danger that security will not be protected.IOS will fail if this pairing fails We will invalidate the Touch ID including Apple Pay and put the terminal in a safe state. "

In addition, this public relations woman says, "If an iPhone is repaired by a non-authorized dealer, an invalid component affecting a defective display or Touch ID may fail to check without pairing being authenticated After updating or restoring the terminal, "error 53" may be displayed .... If .error 53 is displayed, please contact Apple Support. " And that.

Since it costs a lot of money when performing regular repairs, there are many people who have experienced rushing into a repair shop. If your terminal is exchanged for a non-genuine home button and iOS is version 9 or less, it may be better to avoid updating thoroughly or consider exchanging with regular parts for the moment Hmm. Also, as there are many unclear points about the situation other than iPhone 6, it seems better to keep in mind those who use Touch ID-equipped models including iPad.
