Nothing will happen to your service. The 5c is being discontinued, meaning they will no longer sell it brand new in stores or online. However, your service will not be affected; this discontinuation does not mean all 5c's will stop receiving cell service. The only thing that will happen is if you somehow damaged your phone and wanted a replacement, you would not be able to choose the 5c because it will no longer be available to purchase. You would have to upgrade to a newer, and perhaps more expensive, iPhone.

Your 5c will continue to work indefinitely.

Nothing, you can use it as long as you want. That just means new 5C models won't be sold anymore, stuff like that is common when new versions come out, but it doesn't affect anyone using it.

You don't have to do anything. That just means that Apple is no longer making the iPhone 5c. Your phone is still going to work like normal.

  • Will the iphone 4 be discontinued soon? I'm willing to purchase an iphone 4, but I've called many shops and they said that they've stopped selling the iphone 4 and only had the iphone 4s and iphone 5 in store. I'm not so keen on buying the iphone 4 if its going to be discontinued in a couple of months. Is it about time that shops stopped selling the iphone 4, as it came out in 2010, and there are 2 newer phones after this?
  • Will the discontinued iphone 5 be able to update ios versions? I have an iphone 5 and i'm about to upgrade depending on the answer to this question. I know that apple has discontinued the iphone 5, but does ghat mean i won't be able to upgrade to ios 7.1 or ios 8 when they come out? And if i upgrade to the 5c will that be able to ios 8?
  • Why was the iPhone 5 discontinued? I was going to go get one as an upgrade from my iPhone 4S but when I went there the only phones on display were the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s. I asked one of the workers & she told me that there are none in stock. I then asked her when they would be back in stock and she replied "Probably never because the iPhone 5 was discontinued by Apple." When I asked her why she said that she doesn't know. Why did they discontinue a great phone?
  • 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.
