You have physically damaged the front screen and it will need to be replaced.


Apple does not warranty accidental damage, this will be an out of pocket expense. Unfortunately they will not just repair the front screen, they will repair the whole phone. Since the damage is so extensive, they will probably just replace the phone with a refurbished unit.


Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it looked at.
