MY spear phone is a iPhone4S and was stored in my drawer. When I wanted to use it found ou, that the battery has blown up and split the back and the front part .
question
1) will Apple be generous and replace the almost exploded battery free of charge as such a thing should not happen( even though my warranty has expired)
2) how long will an iPhone4S be supported
1. Take it in to Apple. Nobody here can say what they will or will not do for you. And Apple cannot say either way until they see the device to examine it.
2. No idea. Again, that will be an Apple decision, so not something that anyone here will know beforehand.

Take it to Apple Support.
They might replace it for free.
You might get lucky.
1. No The storage of the device is what led to the failure.
2. Supported how? The device is out of warranty but can still be used.
1. Ask them.
2. The warranty is one year.
You need to contact Apple. Be polite. With this sort of thing, companies do not wish to make a policy statement.

Well then, were should I have put my phone when not in use?
with supporting I meant, if I'd fixed the iphone, for how long would Apple support the system of iPhone4S?
is it worthwile to invest in a new battery
When storing a device with a lithium-ion battery, it is necessary to treat the battery in specific way to help prevent problems. That is what I was referring to.
As far as to how much longer the iPhone 4s will be supported, no one here would know that. Only Apple can answer that question, and they do not participate here. You would have to wait for an announcement from them. The decision to fix the phone or not would be a cost comparison based on the repair cost or the cost to replace the device with a newer model that would generally be supported longer.
split the back and the front part
This seems way bad. Here is a web page for replacing the battery. I could not imagine how the front and back of the iPhone was damaged without trashing the device.
