    Not content with stopping you from using the software you want to with their devices, Apple have now locked people out of their own phones.
    It seems that if you have had work done on an iPhone 6/s/turbo sport by a non authorised apple repairer, then updating to iOS 9 will brick your device.
    And apple will do nothing about it.

    What a bunch of uber cnuts.

    Eh, if you checked your facts, it's to stop unauthorised 3rd parties from stealing your fingerprint info and using it to access your personal files or use it to buy stuff using whatever credit card you have on file or install a fake finger print reader and get your details through that. If you go to some dodgy back street dealer to fix your phone, then tough.
    But don't let the facts hinder your ill-informed hissy fit.

    Tell that to the people whose phone has been turned into a paperweight.

    Don't let your fanboyism get in the way of a couple of hundred thousand people feeling slightly peeved that their 700 euro phone no longer works.

    Don't agree with you so that makes me a fanboy, good man. You'd be whinging if someone bought a bunch of stuff using your stolen finger print and blaming apple for being thieves so it's a lose lose situation.

    Bollocks is it. If your details got stolen by someone who worked on your phone then it'd be your fault. If Apple steal the functionality of your phone to get a monopoly on fixing iDevices it's theirs.

    They have a forum. Many in fact.

    They keep starting threads on iPhones. Sad group.

    As for what Apple are doing here. Error 53 could do with a bit more explanation but given that the touchID protects the phone, Apple Pay (and thus your bank account), and other apps including banking apps this precaution is justified, and well done to them.

    Google probably just hand all fingerprint data to the NSA and a few million advertisers.

    Of course there are normal android users. They buy cheap android devices and don't give a sh1t about other phones.

    Then there are the anti-Apple obsessives, saddest group of losers on gods green earth.

    People are very touchy about the brand of phone they and other people have aren't they?

    It's hilariously pathetic.

    I never have anything important enough on my phone to warrant a finger print.. An awful lot of people don't. So the excuse that this is to protect users from malicious tampering is ridiculous.


    Just go back to the passcode if bricking 700euro devices is considered responsible.
