The blogs and forums about Apple are on fire with the news that we are going to tell you next: if your start button breaks and you decide to change it to an unauthorized service, you are going to make the biggest possible mistake that will render your beloved iPhone useless. Apple has confirmed it and it is a security system that prevents the Touch ID of the new iPhones from being modified with this identification system: iPhone 5s, 6 / 6s and 6 / 6s Plus. We give you all the details below.
The news was originally published by a Guardian journalist, Antonio Olmos, who while working as a correspondent in Macedonia had his iPhone 6 repaired because the start button did not work, opting for the most accessible option: an unauthorized technical service. The change was successful and everything was going well until one day his iPhone told him that there was a new version of iOS available. Like any user decided to accept the update, but shortly after the update started an «Error 53» appeared which left the iPhone completely unusable. The confirmation that his iPhone was only useful as a nice paperweight came shortly after when he went to an Apple Store in London, where Apple technicians could not give him any solution to his problem.
Apple has confirmed it, to the disappointment of many users who suffer from the problem: it is a security mechanism that prevents the home button from being replaced with the fingerprint sensor to gain access to the iPhone. The anger of those who have been left with a completely disabled iPhone is great and logical, but it is no less logical that Apple tries to make a security system invulnerable that ultimately aims to protect the data of its users. Remember that through our fingerprint we not only have access to buy in the App Store, but also to make purchases from within the applications compatible with Apple Pay, to use Apple Pay in any store that uses this payment system, to access our access codes to websites and other services, even to the data of our credit cards. credit.
