Absolutely right, Apple have no right to permanently disable a device. At worst 
they should void the warranty and disable touchID.

'Made it clear' is a bit strong. I wouldn't expect it to be randomly bricked if 
I had had it replaced in Macedonia (see article) n an emergency. I would expect 
touchid to stop working. 

But mainly a reminder/warning rather than an attempt to debate rights and 
wrongs...

cheers,

I think I'm correct that when Apple introduced Touch ID they made it clear that 
you cannot replace the Home Button unless you also replace the secure 
fingerprint enclave. This is to ensure security of access isn't compromised. 
Third party repairers do not have access to replacement enclaves so only Apple 
can do Home Button repairs for Touch ID phones. 

Makes sound sense to me if you pause to think about it and I'd certainly not 
trust an unknown repairer to touch my iPhone 6S.

Tony
