My iphone 6 has bend would the apple store change it for me?

Warranty does not cover physical damage. A bend in the enclosure is physical damage.

Expect to pay $299 for an out-of-warranty fee to replace the device. You will retain whatever remaining time applies for your one-year warranty, or 90 days from date of repair, whichever is longer.

No, they are not likely to help you for free with a bend. Is your LCD still working? Does your phone still find service? If so, then you might find an independent repair shop that would be willing to take off your screen, take out your board, and press the housing back into shape. There are specialized presses for this that some shops have.

If you LCD is cracked, and/or your phone has searching no service after bend, then i would think your best bet would be the out of warranty replacement at Apple for $299

This is very poor advice. Doing this will immediately void your service options from Apple, both in- & out-of-warranty options. That means that if anything else goes wrong with the device, Apple will refuse to assist at all. And, hypothetically, if Apple decides to implement some form of compensation or free service option for those individuals with 'bent' devices, this particular unit will no longer qualify at all.

Imagine this: You have health insurance through your company. It includes a $300 co-pay for a doctor visit. You can choose to either:

A) Visit the doctor and pay the $300 co-pay.

OR

B) Visit a non-authorized 'minute clinic' where you'd only have to pay $50, but your health insurance would then be cancelled after that.

Which one would you choose?

I have a 'crease' from the buttons to the top, not sure how it occurred either but wonder if it was when I was removing the bumper.

I expect to have to pay for a replacement so booked in the next few days with the Genius bar to get a new phone (6S instead to avoid this) so expect to be able to part exchange

Should I sell on Ebay or to a friend instead - would I make more than the part exchange with Apple?

What 'bumper' are you talking about? Do you mean an additional protective covering? Or do you mean something internal to the device?

Aftermarket bumper - Apple sold these too - I am not aware of the term describing anything internal to the phone?

So... any ideas guys on selling the 6 separately or part ex please.
