The deadly “Error 53” on Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus could pop up even if you replace the original Apple hardware in and around the home button assembly.
An Apple statement read: “Error 53 is the result of security checks created to protect our customers”. “When iPhone is serviced by an unauthorised fix provider, faulty screens or other invalid components that affect the Touch ID sensor could cause the check to fail if the pairing cannot be validated”.
“We protect fingerprint data using a secure enclave, which is uniquely paired to the touch ID sensor”, the spokeswoman told The Guardian.
The company also advised that if a customer sees error 53, they should contact Apple Support at the earliest.
An update to iOS 9 has been turning iPhones into paperweights and its error message is becoming infamous.

Apple confirmed that it’s aware of the issue, but says it’s actually a feature of iOS 9.2.1 that is meant to protect the Secure Enclave that contains your fingerprint information.
