Last month, iPhone users began reporting mysterious “Error 53” messages that seemed to irreparably ruin their devices – and any photos or data not backed up or saved to the cloud.
This problem was most common among those who had recently had their phones repaired – but it raised alarm among a great many iPhone owners. How could something so valuable could be rendered so worthless without warning?
Thankfully, this risk is at an end.
Apple have just released a free update to all iPhone users that eliminates the chance of this error occurring – and restores any phone ruined by this issue to working order.
This serves as a vital reminder: if you have an iPhone or iPad, update your software regularly. This is a free and easy process that will fix problems and prevent security issues. Apple will regularly add new features this way; sometimes it will even improve your battery life!
To do this, simply:
There’s another a great perk to checking up on this every few weeks: in the near future, Apple will be releasing a larger update to their operating system that will – quite literally – help you get a better night’s sleep.
A new “Night Shift” mode (expected sometime between now and March) will reduce the screen’s blue light; something numerous health experts have warned can trick to body into staying awake at night. Over the course of the day, it will gradually phase into a more night-friendly red. So be sure to check for updates every few weeks to ensure you’re making the most of your phone!
