You want it repaired? Pay through the nose or get it disabled.

Sadly, I'm not surprised in the least.

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2

Woooah is that even legal? Once you've bought a product, surely it's yours to do with as u see fit? I can't see how this is legal..

If you invalidate your warranty, that's your decision. But to disable your device for getting it fixed outside of Apple? And I've just bought the iPhone 6s.... What have I let myself in for?

😨

It's not surprising. If they just dropped the prices then more people would buy into them.

Indubitably true. Samsung S21 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra

It's not the price that stops me buying them......
