The problem is related to the smartphone's home button, which contains a Touch ID thumbprint reader that can be used to unlock the device rather than inputting a four-digit security code.
If the phone is damaged and a non-Apple repairer replaces the button, a subsequent update of the operating system detects a non-standard component and shuts down the device. There is no known way of bringing it back to life.
Does Apple have the right to do this? I think they do because even though you own the phone, the software that runs it is probably like all other software and you only buy a license to use it and that can be revoked at any time.
