The way they've reported on this seems a bit misleading. Isn't it just that the third-party repairers haven't reset the security mechanism after replacing the home button?
- jacquesm 11y agoShould it matter?
- DiabloD3 11y agoThe problem is, Apple refuses to reset the security mechanism after such repairs have happened. Ergo, Apple is bricking phones as some sort of misplaced revenge-like behavior.
- zepto 11y agoThis doesn't follow. Apple refuses to reset the security mechanism because it can't verify the integrity of the repair. Call it revenge like behavior is just you attacking Apple. It's certainly incompetent or unanticipated and poorly handled, but it's an attempt to maintain their security promises.
- MartinMond 11y agoIf third-party repairers can reset the security mechanism, then the security mechanism won't protect against actual attackers.
