Default Apple fined for bricking old iPhones down under

Fine is probably not going to hurt

Fruity cargo cult Apple has been slapped rigorously about the chops with a wet bus ticket by an Aussie court which decided that it was wrong to brick iPhones which had been fixed at non-authorised repairers.

Apple has been hit with a $6.7 million fine for lying to its Aussie customers. More than two years ago Apple started to "brick" iPhones that had been fixed at non-authorized third party repairers, generating an Error 53.

Apple admitted to intentionally preventing certain repaired iPhones and iPads from working for security reasons, but later apologised and issued a fix. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) was not impressed and sued Apple for "misleading or deceptive conduct", and now an Australian court has hit the iPhone-maker with a multi-million dollar fine.
