has anyone come accross restore error 53 on an iPhone 6???
iPhone 6
Little history here re: error 53...
- dropped iphone 6, shattered screen.
- took for repair, tech not only replaced screen but used a new (or used) home/touch id button with attached ribbon cable.
- attempted to both update and setup new touch id, neither worked and received failed messages. .
- tried to update via itunes, started update then failed with error 53 - tried many times after with continued error 53 error.
- tried to restore, also received error 53.
- realized my phone was a brick so called back repair service.
- they stated the tech messed up - iphone has a unique home/touch id button and ribbon cable, any other replacement will not work.
- fortunately they retained my parts and replaced the new home/touch id and ribbon cable with my existing one.
- brought home, was able to complete the restore then restored from back up.
So, if you damage your iphone, be sure the repair service uses the existing home/touch id and ribbon cable or you'll end up with error 53. Appearantly, each iphone is linked to this button/ribbon cable and will not work if replaced. If you do have it replaced, you won't be able to update and if you try to update via itunes, your iphone will never work again.

They should have done that when they made the original purchase. These policies are well-known and are nothing new.

Interesting reply to the technical points raised. Quite revealing.
It's not a new policy.
Exactly!!

These policies have been in place and widely known for many years. Yes, the whiners should have purchased a different product. It's called "personal responsibility."
That's a fascinating way to defend lack of personal responsibility.
So if i`ve change my 5S display, kept my touch id(working condition) i should be in the clear right?Iphones are not made for consumers.
The policy has not changed. Please live up to your personal responsibility.
Apple has made a Microsoft Xbox One disaster, here.

Your claim that the policy of bricking phones is old is an obvious and demonstrable lie.
Where, exactly, did I make that claim?
Apologies Philly_Phan did. I should have replied to his.
That's the third time that you've called me a liar. Fascinating allegations coming from the Grand Exalted Clueless One.
Have a nice day!
Apple's policies have not changed. You would realize that if you were not so extremely clueless.
Have a nice day!
I'd like to add my gratitude. This analogies are very upsetting and have no place here.
