Move comes after class action lawsuit over 'security measure' that left iPhones inoperable after they had home buttons replaced by non-Apple repairers
Apple has released a fix for users affected by "Error 53", a software issue that rendered useless iPhones that had had their home buttons replaced by third parties.
The problem was related to Apple's Touch ID fingerprint reader, which is part of the home button and can be used to unlock the device instead of inputting a passcode.
