Q: iphone 6 error 53 and APPLE WONT REPLACE OR FIX!

KC7GNM don't say everyone... You have missed the whole point of this post.. It is (for the 50th time) not the fact that he dropped his phone that ruined it. It's the fact that Apple recommended an update which got him stuck in error 53. When something is wrong it's wrong, and it will stay wrong no matter how many people try to divert the problem to something else or make some rediculous argument about security risk.

And you missed the entire point that the update found that he made an unauthorized repair to the phone which renders the phone a brick. He should have had apple do the repair instead of having some fly by night outfit do it to save a few bucks. Now he paid a lot more than he originally would have. The error 53 is a touch ID authentication error which means that he had the touch ID replaced by someone unauthorized and when the software was updated (which he was not forced to do BTW) it invalidated the phone as a security precaution. He wanted apple to replace the phone for free which is not what apple or any company will do when you are the one that was negligent.

And yes everyone with the exception of you and one other have been telling him that.

Makes perfect sense. I'm not going back to a country with an apple shop for five months. I dropped my phone and the screen was cracked.So basicly I have to  live without a phone or risk losing all my data. Apple are pushing people to look at alternatives with this kind of thing. I've had at least 5  iPhones but my next phone might have to be Samsung.

Hey I haven't replaced the home button or anything. I haven't given it to a third party either! If I would have then Apple wouldn't have replaced my phone at any cost. when I took it to the Apple Store for repair they told me since there's a crack in the iPhone they wouldn't repair it and my only option was a replacement new iPhone for which I'll have to pay around 330 USD. Which I did because I had no other option.

Then it should be the end of the case for you so why are you still complaining?

And I believe everything you said about what you did or did not do to your phone before apple saw it.

It is out of warranty now, yes or no please.

I want a factual answer, decimal or binary is not relevant. Give me straight answer or give me none.

Alright then the iPhone is still under warranty.

Was it damaged when dropped?

Are you now saying that there was NO damage when dropped?

Mechanical damage voids the warranty.

I'm convinced. Next time I wreck a car I'm taking it straight back to the manufacturer and demanding a new one at half the retail price. I promise I won't argue.
