Apple Error 53 in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s

Error 53 says: The iPhone-total loss of Workshop Perspective

The independent repair service iDoc.eu has also expressed its views in the past week themed "Error 53", which can provide on repaired iPhone units that the expensive high-end devices from Cupertino to functionless paperweight be demoted.

Reported on Friday about the problem that occurs especially in devices whose fingerprint sensor Touch ID has been replaced by non-authorized service provider, and has asked the iDoc team to a workshop perspective for reporting.

Should users - in the case of a display breakage - steer clear of the independent repairers and bite the proverbial bullet, the crisp label "package for out of warranty service cover" helps Apple and 321 € (iPhone 6 / 6s) or with € 351 (iPhone 6 Plus / 6s Plus) is priced?

No, says company spokesman Paul Blezinger and stated that it in no way is a new phenomenon in error 53:

The error is already long been known. It occurs when a restore or update the iPhone 6/6 Plus / 6s / 6s Plus (not iPhone 5s) on where the home button has been damaged or previously exchanged. Apple will consider, whether the coupling of the Secure Enclave is with the coprocessor in A chip of the iPhone yet. If the validation is negative, the entire iPhone 6 is paralyzed.

Apple would thus prevent access to the Secure Enclave. Experienced workshops since the problem occurred not provide the exchange of the Home button to therefore. Why this is not true of the iPhone 5s, and why an iPhone 6 with foreign Home Button to a recovery nonetheless remains operable without being inoperable, Apple does not explain.

Users, whose home button has been exchanged, should be wary of the next software updates, however, in eight and have a current device backup at hand. Once the fault 53 occurs, there is no alternative to Apple's "service outside the warranty" past.

Anyway, the exchange of the Home buttons heard but the rarer repairs and cannot compete with the conventional display damage.

iDoc.eu estimates suggest that by 2016 about 447,782 iPhone 6s will suffer display damage. With this you can, so audition Blezinger, still at the independent repair service of your trust.

The broken display is the most common defect in the iPhone. In an inexpert exchange of the display in a free repair shop but there is no risk to be affected in the future by error 53rd The original functional home button is removed in the exchange of the display from the old defective display and placed on the new display. Since the new display is now attached to the old original home button on the associated iPhone, this is also recognized as before without any problems.

Critical to Blezinger expresses through Apple restrained communication on the matter. Firstly, the group would provide no service information received on the error 53 or the causing reasons, on the other hand was Cupertinos language regime "Unauthorized repair provider" misleading.

So basically earn all independent repairers in the consumer area, the term "Unauthorized repair provider"; authorized iPhone repair shops do not exist in this country. Even larger Apple partner (about Gravis) may only repair Apple computers:

Apple does not like free iOS workshops. Original spare parts from Apple there are not on the market. It would ensure a consistent quality of repairs. So far, could be prepared in good quality on the Chinese market but replicas. Since 2015, however, Apple is trying more to control all suppliers to prevent ready important for the replicas components.

Thus the creation of replicas is much more difficult. Last year, the purchase prices for iPhone 5/5s/5c displays are characterized increased by approximately 100%. This makes it the independent repairers harder to offer an economical repair. It follows further that increasingly inferior cheaper displays are installed in workshops, since they would not otherwise be able to offer repair.

The short interim conclusion: IPhone users, who have problems with their fingerprint scanner, also need outside the warranty period, to establish contact with Apple. Other errors can be patched without problems in third-workshops rid the world. As long as these are, however, tolerated by Apple is questionable according Blezinger.

So far, independent garages were tolerated by Apple at least. Apparently blowing a new wind at the time. Free workshops will now be responsible for Apple's own Error 53.

Some iOS users to receive ghost emails from 1st January 1970

Bug makes iPhones receive emails 'zombies' dated 1970

Some iPhone owners have received emails with peculiar dates, such as January 1, 1970. The messages are probably the result of a bug in the iOS email app, since the first email was sent only in 1971 - a year after the alleged messages.

However, the procedure is not a rule to receive the "last message".

The flaw apparently causes no problem. The initial impression is that the Mail app for iOS reset the date to the equivalent of zero in UNIX time scale, which is the conversion of days to billions of seconds. For example, the current date is about 1.45 billion. The ground zero that would be just the 1st of January 1970.

Who received these emails and delete them want to do a hard reset on the iPhone, according to reports of users on the web. i.e., restart the phone by pressing the buttons on and Home simultaneously for a few seconds. According to Internet users, the action causes messages with failure are excluded from the Mail inbox.

WhatsApp users can now send PDF documents

WhatsApp Messenger has its extended to the interesting especially for business users option besides pictures and videos to also send documents. First, can only PDF files are forwarded to contacts in the usual way to send attachments. That is likely to change in the foreseeable future.

As TechCrunch reported, the new function is available in the Android and the iOS version of WhatsApp available. You'll be used very similar on both platforms. On Android you type in chat on the paperclip icon for attachments and selects the then faded new icon "document" from. In order to create space, WhatsApp has previous icons for "Take a photo" and "Record Video" now grouped under "Camera". According to TechCrunch in the iOS app is only to tap the arrow icon and in the menu that appears, "Document sharing" select.

File types other than PDF are users not currently displayed in the selected folder, if they want to add a document as an attachment. That needs to improve, demonstrated by the fact that the US journalist Sarah Perez in a case, although could attach an image stored on Google Drive Office document, disclosure then but failed and an error message indicating that it is an unsupported file type handle.
