“Error 53: The Revenge” – Now on iPhone 8

It used to be that if the home button was damaged on any Apple iPhone with Touch ID (up to the 6S Plus), it could be replaced with an aftermarket copy. This meant the secure enclave would no longer work, rendering fingerprint recognition inoperable, but the click function would still work. However, from the iPhone 7 on, it hasn’t been possible to replace the home button. (To nitpick, you can buy a new one, but it would be purely cosmetic and non-functional).

TP-Link High-Capacity Power Banks for Phone and Tablet

If your phone or tablet has a nasty habit of running out of power when you’re out and about, but you’ve nowhere to charge it, a USB “power bank” is what you need. It’s essentially just a huge battery- once you’ve charged it up (via a regular USB mains charger) you can then charge something else- typically your phone or tablet- by connecting it to the power bank.

The Great iPhone Battery Slowdown Scandal?

The Important Points

  • Apple attracted negative publicity when it became clear that iOS was slowing down iPhones with older batteries.
  • Worn-out batteries are less likely to be able to reliably meet the power needs of the CPU and GPU when they’re running at full speed, resulting in possible crashes.
  • Apple claims to have tried to work round such situations by spreading out the workload and reducing other sources of power use- but only when iOS detects the battery is degraded.
  • Apple will replace your battery for you, but you may normally wait weeks to have it done. On top of this, there’s currently (as of Jan 2018) a shortage of replacement batteries expected to last until March or April.
  • Disc Depot Dundee can replace your battery for you. We generally keep batteries for all recent iPhone models in stock, and can usually fit them the same day. Read More
