In June 2018, it got in trouble for this policy in Australia, where Australian officials fined the company 9 million Australian dollars ($6.7 million) for not offering repairs to customers being affected by a glitch caused by a third party repair issue.

There’s not much it can do about it at the moment, as the sales are taking place on eBay — where a quick search shows numerous used models listed for prices as low as $50.
