APPLE has been criticised for locking people out of their iPhones – but there's a very good reason why the US technology firm takes this issue so seriously.

Apple has acknowledged "Error 53" – and explained why the feature exists

Apple has been accused of locking iPhones that have been repaired by unofficial companies.
According to the head of iFixit, the iPhone will lock itself when the Home Button – with its Touch ID fingerprint sensor – has been repaired or replaced by a team not authorised by Apple.
Dubbed "Error 53", the feature deadlocks the iPhone 6 when the owner attempts to update the iOS their device.
CEO of iFixit, Kyle Wiens told The Guardian that "Error 53" is causing a major problem for iPhone owners.
Mr Wiens said thousands of angry iPhone owners have visited the "Error 53" help page on iFixIt's website.

Apple explains why Error 53 might have occurred

"The problem occurs if the repairer changes the home button or the cable." He said.
"Following the software upgrade the phone checks to make sure it is still using the original components, and if it isn't, it simply locks out the phone.
"There is no warning, and there’s no way that I know of to bring it back to life."

Mother 7ucking apple. Same reason why an iPhone 3GS became lifeless during an upgrade. Just because a piece of the hardware damaged.

I thank God for the wisdom not to kill myself with iphone 5 wahala.Selling it was d best decision ever.Those in Nigeria are royally screwed.How many apple care shops do we have in Nigeria as a whole?

Don't mind their azz. Almost 80% of Apple users in Nigeria are suffering and smiling. Yes, I have iPhone 4S but it is for experimental purpose because of my kind of job. My daily driver is still droid for so many reasons I can't live without. Without droid, my business may suffer. 7uck the name and the fame. Go for something that will ease your life. Forget Samsung too except for their recent devices. Reason is because of their slow touchwiz.
