Error 53: Apple remotely bricks phones to punish customers for getting independent repairs
‘Iphone 6s that have been repaired by independent service centers are bricking themselves, seemingly permanently, with a cryptic message about “Error 53.”
After much stonewalling silence, Apple has confirmed that Error 53 is invoked when the phone determines that it has been serviced by non-Apple personnel, and there is apparently no way to reverse the process. An Error 53’d phone is rendered permanently useless — and the data on it is permanently inaccessible.
According to an Apple spokesperson, Error 53 is an anti-tampering measure designed to protect the integrity of the phone’s biometric security system. The lockout is designed to protect users from trusting doctored fingerprint readers that might allow unauthorized access to their phones.’
