hey guys it's Gwendolyn and this is the
iFixit rundown where I give you all the
news that happened this month and I fix
it I'm here in Germany at our Stuttgart
office that opened in 2013 to give our
EU customers easier access to our
products we open this office in Germany
back in 2013
and back then it was just Matt and
Mattias running things since then we've
grown exponentially and we love seeing
how I fix it is reaching other parts of
the world and making repair accessible

dweller here at the rundown we make sure
you're well-informed first the what
error 53 affects users who have done
repairs involving the home button or
home button cable the phone works
perfectly fine after a successful repair
for a while but as soon as users connect
to a computer and attempt to update the
phone's OS they get the dreaded error 53
and an effectively dead phone you can
imagine the panic it caused amateur and
professional iPhone repair people alike
well the great Apple heard the cries of
the people and quickly turned out a new
iOS update to fix bricked phones due to
error 53 you can read more about the
development of this story on our blog

it we go to the workshop of Kris Mathis
the lead mechanic and equipment manager
for the professional women's mountain
bike team sponsored by Luna if you think
that sounds cool wait till you see the
bikes he gets to work with while in
Stuttgart I visited a repair cafe that
was unlike anything I'd seen in the
States
people came from all over for coffee
pastries and of course repair it was my
kind of place
we saw old record players two new phones
being repaired and everything in between
I was amazed at their attendance as well
as the age range of those coming for
help and volunteering repair has no
demographic here as it's the month of
love and I'm visiting Germany send me a
tweet telling me why you love repair
with the hashtag I love repair and you
could win a pro tech screwdriver set and
there's awesome stuttgart t and that's
