Apple warns this move could crash your iPhone

In the ITC complaint, Immersion is seeking an exclusion order preventing the importation, sale for importation, and sale after importation of infringing Apple devices into the United States by the defendants and appropriate cease and desist orders.

Although Wiens doesn’t ascribe Error 53 to maliciousness on Apple’s part, he’s still frustrated by the situation.

The Apple troubleshooting site ifixit.com advises using the original touch ID sensor and not updating the operating system.

The Touch ID sensor is without a doubt an important security feature.

Victims who reported the matter to their local Apple store were stunned after being informed by Apple staff that it was not possible to fix their phones and they would have to purchase new ones. The ACCC has launched an investigation into the multinational tech giant’s security measure, the so-called Error 53, which users initially thought was a bug. In particular, the ‘356 patent relates to advances in providing haptic feedback in certain mobile electronic devices (such as mobile phones) that have, among other things, a touchscreen and an actuator.

Without this unique pairing, a malicious touch ID sensor could be substituted, thereby gaining access to the secure enclave. Apple uses Secure Enclave to keep your fingerprint data safe.

An iPhone 7 is expected to be released in the fall, and having an iPhone 5se would allow Apple to offer three different tiers of phone sizes and prices. A physical fix from Apple is needed to reverse the bricking.

“Any iPhone 6 screens changed by iCorrect will not result in Error 53, this is because we do not change your iPhone’s home button“.

Shouldn’t there be a way for Apple to balance the importance of security with the inevitability of third-party repairs? Customers seeking to get their devices repaired have the option of visiting Apple centers and paying whatever is asked of them, or risk Apple bricking their expensive device in the name of protection – cum retribution.

“No materials we’ve seen from Apple ever show a disclosure that your phone would self-destruct if you download new software onto a phone”.

Business Insider has reached out to Apple for comment, and will update this story when it responds. When you take a time and set it to zero that can be all fine and dandy. They encounter the so-called “Error 53” after updating the device’s iOS.
