Apple fixes ‘Error 53’ that bricked iPhones after third-party repairs

‘Apple has apologized for an error in iPhone software that renders the device non-functional when serviced by non-Apple technicians. The company has issued a fix in the form of a software update.

The tech giant released iOS version 9.2.1 via iTunes on Friday.

The patch will also prevent the problem from occurring due to such repairs in the future.’
