Apple sued over broken iPhones by Australia after 'Error 53' controversy

Apple is being sued by Australia, after its phones started breaking with no warning. A new case from the country's consumer watchdog accuses the company of "bricking", or remotely disabling, phones with a software update. That follows the controversy over what was dubbed "Error 53" – named after the message that was displayed after the update arrived and wouldn't allow people to use their phone. Specifically, the problem arose when people had their screens fixed by a non-Apple repairer. That triggered what Apple said was a security measure, but others complained was an unfair change, which meant that the phones wouldn't turn back on and couldn't be fixed again by Apple. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
