You may want to avoid the new update from Apple as it apparently disables iphones that have been worked on by unauthorised agents. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/02/05/error-53-will-kill-your-iphone-6-but-its-for-the-best-says-apple/

Seems the class action lawyers here and the USA are already gathering for action over this . Very bad form by Apple but it doesn't affect my ancient iPhone 4S
