Simon Janes Over a decade ago, decided Apple was "too evil." Dropped it like a hot potato. Every once in a while, I see headlines like this: bbc.com/news/techn... and just say to myself... "Yup. That seems to be expected."

Mark Dain People say the device bricks if Touch ID has been replaced, which I can understand. That component may be all that's in the way of an attacker and your financial information; things like Apple Pay are often behind Touch ID activation. However, people in the comments are saying even getting the screen replaced can brick your phone (something I have done). I can't safely upgrade without buying a new phone. Wtf?

😀 Tom I wonder what would happen then if someone had an in-warranty iPhone with a working screen, swapped it, bricked it, then reinstalled the original screen and made sure there was no physical evidence of tampering.

😀 Tom I want to preface with: The upgrade bricked their devices, not the repair. That is completely on Apple. I don't like Apple either, but to be fair, apparently this only happens when the TouchID module is replaced. However Apple did screw up by not notifying people who already fixed it before they upgraded. Apple became the company they said they wouldn't.
