Can I get an iPhone 5 replacement even though it's discontinued?
I dropped my phone and it shattered and it'll turn on, but I can't see anything. I know that the iPhone 5 is discontinued, but can I still get a replacement iPhone 5 under warranty?
Discontinued means they are no longer making them.Ie. There's the retail stock that was left in stores and that's it. There are no replacements on discontinued items.
You should be able to get it repaired though. Sounds like it just needs a new screen.
Apple still carries replacements and you can go to the genius bar and get a replacement for free if you are still within your 1 year complmentary warranty or if you purchased the AppleCare protection plan. If not, there's a fee you will have to pay but you can still receive a replacement.
Here is a link to the stores in the USA

if you live in another country you can select in in the drop down box on the right side of the screen.
After you find your nearest Apple Store find the box with the Genius Bar logo, click on it, and schedule your appointment.
Should. Apple would have absorbed the unsold inventory for that.
- Why can I still send texts to other iPhones even though my iPhone has NO sim card? My iPhone stopped recieving calls properly so I've had to put my sim card into a different phone. Why when my mate text me from his iPhone did I receive it still on my iPhone and not the phone with the sim card in. And I was able to text him back from the iPhone but when he called me the little Nokia that I'm using rang… I'll be honest, I really don't understand how iOs stuff works…
- Why can I not use any sim card in my iPhone even though it is unlocked? I got an iPhone from a friend who says that the phone is unlocked, but every sim card I try in it seems not to work, it keeps on coming up with the same message that "There's no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone." when have clearly put one in. What can I do?
- My iphone 5 broke, will apple replace it even though it was discontinued? My iphone 5 broke, and since apple discontinued the iphone 5 would they give me a different phone or do they still make them for those who need replacements? I have insurance i'm just wondering whether it would be replaced or not.
- My old iPhone 5c won't turn on even though it was working fine a month ago and has just been in a drawer since. How can I get it working?

My charger is fine. How can I turn it on?
