In this video, we delve into Apple's controversial "Error 53," a software issue that rendered iPhones useless if repaired by independent shops. The error didn’t come up right after the repair, but after a software update, which shows that the error was clearly a consequence of Apple’s actions.
The video examines how this error affected thousands of users, highlighting Apple's aggressive tactics to discourage third-party repairs and Apple's rationale behind these measures. It also explores the legal implications, including an investigation in Australia that led to a rather insignificant penalty.
This exposé raises critical questions about consumer rights, corporate practices, and the ongoing battle for the right to repair.
