They might be able to repair or replace with a refurbished model. No harm in calling into an Apple Store, or give them a call.

I once had coffee spilled on my MacBook when it was long past it's warranty period. It continued to work for a while but then the rot set in and it stopped working. I took it into an Apple store and they replaced the keyboard for £50, it's been working fine ever since.

Apple will replace it with a re-manufactured phone, but it'll cost about £110 to do so.

do you really need the on off button, i never turn off my iPhone. If you ever run out of juice it will turn on as soon as the power cord is plugged in

Just let the screen turn itself off and save £110!

I believe there are some disability gestures that can do it (not the nicest method though)

Alternatively jailbreak it and instal one of the many many apps that does it with oe click.

I think I heard here that it was a known defect so you might get lucky.

Considering most of the other top end phones have double the warranty period, Apple can afford to be generous.
