Some users complained that after they had their handsets&#8217; home button fixed by third-party companies, the phone got damaged after upgrading the phone\u2019s operating system to iOS 9. After downloading and installing iOS 9 and seeing their handsets damaged, they found that the error cannot be resolved and their phone irrecoverable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/apple-iphone-6s-plus-a1634-sim-free-review\/iphone-6s-plus-5\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9747\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9747\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iphone-6s-plus-5.jpg\" alt=\"iphone-6s-plus-5\" width=\"1200\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iphone-6s-plus-5.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iphone-6s-plus-5-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iphone-6s-plus-5-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iphone-6s-plus-5-1024x612.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Apple is well aware of the issue, but refused to roll out a fix to the problem, nor did the company devised a way to warn users that their iPhone 6 would self-destruct if they download and install the latest iOS version.<\/p>\n<p>It is irresponsible on the part of Apple to let their users suffer from a consequence they did not voluntarily choose. In effect, the Cupertino-based company just made its products useless with no warning for the customers it claims to serve.<\/p>\n<p>It is a fact nobody can deny that not all places have Apple repair centers located in them, especially in less industrialized nations. The only option for some users in that case is to look for third party service centers with the tools required to repair an iPhone or iPad in order to bring a damaged handset back to life.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the price for the repair, you only have to pay a fraction of what Apple charges for a repair to the iPhone 6.<\/p>\n<p>There seems to be no technical glitch here. What happens is that Apple just won\u2019t allow your iPhone 6 to go through the hands of non-Apple repairmen because of competitive reasons. It wants to stump out local repair centers.<\/p>\n<p>So the next time you go on a long and distant trip, be careful not to drop your iPhone 6 in a place where there is no available service center authorized by Apple, you might experience what many travelers have gone through, having their iPhone 6 dead after the iOS 9 upgrade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Users of the
