Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Worried about error 53, already using 9.2.

I cracked my iPhone 6+ last year and had a third party repairer fix it. I don't know if there was any damage to the Touch ID button or if the tech replaced it but I'm already using iOS 9.2 with no problems. Should I upgrade to 9.2.1?

you're missing the point again, even if he has been already helped, does it meen we shoud chat about katy perry?

we must be relevant to the subject he opened.

you didn't say anything about katy perry also, that is what you will probably acknowledge.

regarding my other inaccurate informations, i won't even bother.


Oh my god you're so adorable!!! 😍


Let's break it down again, step by step:


1. You gave inaccurate information in a post about Touch ID connections.

2. Lawerence corrected you.

3. You then provided redundant information that had already been provided to the OP.

4. Lawerence pointed out to you that you were giving redundant information, and he had already given that same information, and it had been marked as Helpful.

5. You then asked why you and he were discussing further...


Um... because you provided inaccurate information that needed to be corrected, and then you provided redundant information. You were the one discussing it further without need, and seemed to be clueless about the fact you were doing so, hence Lawrence's attempt to illuminate you.


You added nothing of value or new to the thread. You simply repeated what Lawerence had already provided, seven (7) hours earlier. Now, that alone is usually ignored. But by adding INCORRECT information, you prompted further discussion.


It was your incorrect information which prompted Lawerence's reply, not the redundant correct information.


The redundant information can be forgiven. It often happens.


But the inaccurate information? That's something that really needs to be corrected, so others seeking help don't follow a false path.

Stating there is 'no connection' between the display and the Touch ID is wrong. Perhaps English isn't your first language, and if so, that may be the explanation. But the term 'connection' isn't limited to an actual, direct, physical connection. It is also used to refer to indirect connections.


Here, let me draw you a picture, since you failed to provide your own:


A ----> B ----> C ----> D ----> E


A is directly connected to B. A is indirectly connected to C. A is also indirectly connected to E.


Now, as simply as I can:

DISPLAY ----> MOTHERBOARD ----> TOUCH ID


Display is directly connected to Motherboard. Display is indirectly connected to Touch ID.


Or, how about this: Is there a connection between the contacts on my iPhone and the contacts on my computer? Yes. iPhone stores the contacts internally in storage, but also sync them to iCloud. iCloud then syncs them to my computer, and they are stored locally there as well. But, wait!! THERE'S NO PHYSICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN MY PHONE AND MY COMPUTER!!!! What sorcery is this?


There's still a 'connection'. That word doesn't have to mean a direct, tangible physical connection. It can include things like syncing or pairing.... *gasp* just like Lawerence already said!


So, I tell you what: Let's just chalk this up to English not being your primary language, and I respect that. But when you say there is 'no connection between the display and the Touch ID', that is absolutely, categorically & irrevocably FALSE.


Have a great day!

i have already explained why is not inaccurate information. guided by your judgement, everything is connected...and it is, but it won't help you solving certain issues. A is connected to B,C,D,E, direct and indirect connections, i only pointed out the direct connections so he can understand there is no risk to the operation he is going to pursuit.

yes i have offered redundant information, but that is common on a forum. some people don't read 10 pages before giving a one row answer. and even if they do, some OP's may prefer multiple answers so they can be shure.

it looks like you're focusing on minor elements, eg: my english. it is not my habit to consult spelling websites

i tell you what, i'll teach you my language and you can teach me yours, in the end we'll see which one handles it better 🙂 but you should focus on the meaning of my words instead of grammar.


have a great day too, sir.

I am focused on the meaning of your words. That's why you've been corrected on the meaning of the word 'connection'.


See what I did there? 😉

Wow, I'm surprised to see how long this discussion continued. Once again i'd like to thank those who provided information without resorting to condescension.


As for the fix that has been released for error 53, well, I feel vindicated. What they did was wrong and the backlash has obviously encouraged Apple to realise that.


Before you trolls jump back in to reiterate your point of view and point out the error of my ways, I would encourage you to ask yourself if it's worth the effort.
