iPhone 4 on/off button jammed

Evening all,

I'll keep it short - my iPhone 4 on/off button has been jammed for the last couple of weeks (on within the past few days I have been unable to actually turn it off), previously I was able to but with a lot of force on the button.

I've ad the phone since Dec' 2011 and presumably it's out of warranty? Would Apple replace it for a new one or could it get costly?

Cheers

iPhone 4

Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even be used to turn OFF iPhone. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

Apple Store would handle this problem with replacement iPhone 4 exactly like yours for $149.
