Q: Error code 47 - Fatal?
I have an Apple iPhone 5c just 17 months old. Lost it's carrier info and so Apple support said to download latest i.o.s via iTunes. It constantly failed to load at the same point. Took to Apple store to confirm this and error code 47 was shown. IPhone is out of warranty, so Apple cannot (or will not) fix it.
They asked if it had had any repairs. It has had a new screen that was not an genuine Apple one, so they think that as it is not a genuine Apple part this may be the cause of any i.o.s. being prevented from loading onto it.
Are Apple just blaming a third party for the sake of their integrity or could a non genuine screen really cause any later operating system to fail to load?
I now have a dead phone that's fit for the bin.
Is Apple fobbing me off? or does error code 47 mean non genuine Apple part or unauthorised repairer to blame?
Your thoughts please!
