Apple under pressure as lawyers pledge action over 'Error 53' codes

Lawyers ponder class action suit against tech giant over 'reckless policy' of permanently disabling iPhone 6 handsets after software upgrades

Apple has come under pressure to scrap its controversial policy of permanently disabling repaired iPhone 6s when software is upgraded, following a global consumer backlash and claims the company could be acting illegally.

At least one firm of US lawyers said it hopes to bring a class action against the technology giant on behalf of victims whose 500 phones have been rendered worthless by an Apple software upgrade.
