Every phone has a backdoor, believe me. I hope nobody believes a manufacturer that tells you that they are not doing that if a deveice has any sort of network connection!

Devices get shipped with auto update on by default.
They just push an update.
Never heard about Apple locking phones if a non Apple part is installed.
That's not even remotely legal in the US. It would violate the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
If you are talking about error 53 that one is logical.
It's related to the Touch ID button.
Touch ID would not be very secure if all that was required to defeat it was replacing the button.
And it's not Apple connecting to the phone or some sort of phone home.
The phone runs checksum tests and if it detects a mismatch it disables itself.
