iPhone 6 Plus replacement program
https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6plus-isightcamera/
Absolutely nothing wrong with my camera, but as it's eligible I'll swap it for a clean one.

I think you're trying to say have I been lucky with Apple products before and the answer is yes. I have had a new iPhone, new iPad a new Macbook and now another new iPhone. I'm lucky.

Were they all because of other faults? I thought Apple only made perfect products.......

I agree, but Apple are not unique in this respect. Nikon replaced D600s with D610s, regardless of whether you had a faulty one or not. In fact, that would be like Apple saying we will replace your 5S with a 6. I couldn't see that happening to be honest (to be fair, I couldn't see most manufacturers doing that!)

The problem with refurbs is you don't know how much they have been abused previously as they are basically ex customer phones that have been repaired, the outside might look nice with shiny new parts but more often than not they are well used phones and not new ones. The one your giving apple may have even had less use than the one your getting in return. At least you know the history of yours, a replacement may have been dropped in the bath or down the bog at some point.

Mine is eligible for a replacement, but getting to the Apple Store in Cardiff is a real ball ache plus then having to wait for a 'genius' to agree with the replacement as well.
Do they transfer over all your data and details onto the replacement handset for you?

As for backup, nope, they don't typically do that, instructions tell you to backup the device before coming in. This is probably in case they do have to restore the device. I was told they would likely restore it, but turns out they didn't need to, or didn't bother.

It's a way simpler repair than I thought, oh well, I have a week to think about it.
- Remove bottom screws
- Gently lift LCD with suction cup (don't go beyond a 90 degree angle when holding the LCD up)
- Pry between LCD frame and housing to release the LCD
- Remove 5 screws securing metal bracket holding the 4 flex cables
- Gently remove all 4 flex cables from the logic board
- Lift away screen
- Remove 2 screws at side of the camera (left and right)
- Remove metal bracket holding the camera and then the camera.
- Install new camera
