Apple apologises for iPhone �error 53�

Apple has said sorry to iPhone customers whose phones were disabled after third-party repairs, and issued a fix for the problem, reports BBC.
Some users found that their iPhone stopped working following servicing by a non-Apple technician and saw an “error 53” message in iTunes.
Previously, Apple had said the error was a “security measure” taken to prevent fraudulent transactions. Now, the company has released a software update to fix the error.
In a statement, Apple said that “error 53” occurs when a device fails a standard security test designed to ensure that the Touch ID fingerprint scanner is working correctly.
A software update has now been released so that iPhone customers with disabled phones may restore their device via iTunes on a PC
or Mac.
