Wow. #Apple will brick your #iPhone (with a fingerprint reader, is seems) in iOS 9 if it has been repaired by someone other than Apple:

You shouldn't be using an iPhone to begin with. But this shows another way that #proprietary software is used to control users---in this case, having the effect of controlling the repair market too.
Just give Apple more money for a new iPhone, forget that you lost your personal data unless you decided to back it up to the "iCloud" (which is a terrible idea), and then move along and be happy.
Or run an operating system that respects your #freedom, like #Replicant.
