Regardless of the method of contact and assistance chosen, if you have insured your iPhone with AppleCare +, Apple's insurance system for the company's products, you have coverage against accidental damage that allows you to have two repairs at a reduced price and which can come in handy in case you can no longer turn off your iPhone at due to any physical damage reported on it.

If you have not insured your iDevice, you can stell request the repair by paying full price, as also indicated on the reference Internet page.
As for the warranty standard, it lasts two years, of which one year is paid by Apple and one year is paid by the retaeler of the phone (which can be the same Apple if you bought the iPhone in an Apple Store).
