iPhone 6 my mother had. I noticed one day it looked weird. The phones screen was warped out like the battery is bloated. It works fine but the screen is separating. So I bought her an iPhone 7.

iPhone 7 (different one) my daughter cracked screen from a drop. My wife gave her iPhone 8 she had. iPhone 7 works ok just cracked screen.

Any cheap way to repair these? I think I missed out on iPhone 6 battery replacement program. No telling how long my mother used her iPhone 6 like that. Maybe I’ll take them to apple store. They’re both long past AppleCare.
 
The iPhone 6 is probably only worth $100 or less so I’d either buy a battery from iFixit and replace it yourself or see what a third party shop would charge. I’d take the iPhone 7 to Apple and get the screen replaced. They’ll use an original Apple screen and they will calibrate it so it will look and perform the way it did before the damage.
