Q: iPhone 6 has not worked for several months, after updating iOS. Caused by error 53
A couple of months ago I set my iPhone 6 to update as I went to bed and when I woke up the next morning, my iPhone was dead.
The screen has been replaced (and therefore the home button), since it was cracked. When I read about error 53 I was deeply disappointed about Apple but they got some of my respect back, for releasing the fix and owning up to it. However - Apples guide to restoring (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205628) does not work for me, and the store I bought it from will not take responsibility... I've called Apple support (Denmark) and they will not take responsibility either. Apple refers me to the store from which i bought it and hence, I'm now stuck with a broken iPhone 6 worth nothing.
I've been buying and using Apples products for a long time; stationary, laptops, tablets and phones are all Apple... I'm not an "Apple fan" simply buying anything and everything that gets pushed out, regardless of the quality; I use Apple products both personally and professionally simply because of their superiority, compared to anything else on the market. It's so sad to see the quality of Apples products going south (and apparently their support too).
Has anyone else experienced problems trying to recover from error 53?
