- Some iPhone users recently ran into a nasty surprise when they installed the latest version of the operating system iOS. They received error message 'Error 53', after which the aircraft was no longer usable.

Now it seems that the deactivation of the device is done on purpose, so let Producer know Apple. Error 53 is activated when the phone detects that it is working on the fingerprint scanner on the home button, such as a repair. However, if this is not done by an Apple service center in the phone shut off for safety reasons. The fear is that a rogue scanner is installed, so valuable data can be compromised by attackers.

The reason that error 53 for many only appear if an update is installed, according to the company that exported a number of additional security checks on such an installation. As a result, only comes over the new TouchID-sensor to light.

The only way to get the device working again, by offering him repaired by Apple itself.

Many users are furious about this rigorous method and find that they need to be better informed. Also put a lot of people questioning the method in which the error only appears after an update. Chances fact exists that in the meantime has been hijacked data.
