Hello, my iPhone 13 battery has swollen and the display is lifting. I believe this is a battery defect. Can this be repaired or replaced free of cost by Apple?

About a Swollen Battery:
This has become a health hazard. As a result, you need to get this serviced, or see about getting a new iPhone.
A. Take to an Apple store:
You'd setup a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store, taking it in for service. There, it will be diagnosed, and you'll be provided with your options.
Or...
B. Take this to an AASP:
See an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) in your local area...
Contacting an AASP:
The warranty on your phone expired a few years ago. You will have to pay for any repairs.....if they are possible.
Battery about $90 (U.S.)
Screen replacement if required about $280 (U.S.)
If the damage is extensive....frame is bent, for example.....Apple will likely refuse repairs.
