Would apple replace an iPhone 5 without a screen?

A friend of mine shattered his iPhone 5 screen the other day, he took off the whole LCD+Digitzer assembly since glass kept coming off.
So my question is, would apple replace the iPhone 5 without the screen being on it. (it still works, itunes detects it properly.)
I know he would have to pay the replacement cost but would they even replace it when he shows it to them without a screen on it?
Also how much would it cost?

The only way to tell is take it in and ask. The cost for a replacement iPhone 5 is US$229.
So long as your friend doesn't take them a "bag of parts", he may be able to get it replaced.  No one here can make that determination.

  • Will Apple replace an iPhone 6+ (without Apple Care)?

    Whats the cost to replace an iPhone 6+ if I take it into an Apple Store? The phone is a space grey 64gb model. I didn't purchase Apple Care with the phone nor was the device purchased in the US.

    Although Apple has a program to replace iPhones, it depends upon the condition of the iPhone.  If the damage is extensive, or the iPhone is in pieces, it may refuse to replace it.

  • Would Apple replace my iPhone?

    I'm out of warranty on my iPhone 4 but my bumper case left marks around the stainless steel band. So do you think Apple will replace it?

    Nope.

    No.  Why would they do such a thing?
    Does any other company replace their product for free when you damage it?

  • IPhone 4S cracked. Would apple replace?

    My iPhone 4S cracked while in my pocket. I did not bump into anything hard to where I even thought to check, but there is a crack across the screen. Would apple replace it? I bought the iPhone less than 6 months ago

    Apple will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will be less; in the US it's $49.

  • I have an iphone 5 that i trade with a family member they have coverage on it. now the iphones sleep wake button doesnt work sometimes can apple replace my iphone even if i dont have the box or recipit to the product or can they just repair it?

    i have an iphone 5 that i traded with from a family member. its has coverage but now the sleep/wake button doesnt work sometimes. can apple replace my iphone and give me a new one or is it just something they can repair? i dont have the box or recipit to apple care or the iphone

    Apple can fix it without your receipt or box. They pull the serial number from the device and determine warranty status from that.  Hopefully ApplCare was registered to the product before you lost the receipt though.  If not, you can go back to the point of purchase and obtain your AppleCare receipt and Apple can help attach it to the iPhone.

  • Will Apple replace a iPhone I found? (iPhone 5)

    I found a iPhone 5 on the side of the road, cracked screen, chipped corners and bent a bit, BUT the phone works great, and I can't restore it because I keep getting error 4013, ok now will Apple replace that iPhone even though I haven't bought it?

    hey grubbin. not true not true, long story short my friend bought a iphone off a friend that his ex girlfiriend forgot behind and her plan ran up, ( HOWEVER THIS IS PREPAID I THINK) and nothing was owed on it, but the new buyer got on verizon and the phone was not registered , there was a plan but the phone its self wasnt registered so my friend was able to get online register the phone with verizon and reset it to all his info and apple id and he uses the phone to this day. So it is possible , HOWEVER again if whoever lost it is going to report it stolen you dont want a receiving stolen property charge. Choice is yours.
    But that brings up another question? If someone loses their iphone and reports it lost and gets a new phone then would you be able to activate it and use it or should it be returned to apple, but who would pay out their own pocket to return a phone that isnt theirs

  • I have an A5X chip iPad with retina display with AppleCare . If my iPad broke would apple replace it with the updated iPad with retina display?

    I have an A5X chip iPad with retina display with AppleCare+ . If my iPad broke would apple replace it with the updated iPad with retina display that has the A6X chip?

    They will replace your "broken" iPad with an iPad of equal type .... so NO, they will not replace it with a new iPad 4th generation. They will actually replace your "broken" iPad with a refurb, not a new one.

    i have tried buying a new charger incase this was the problem, it wasnt, it just wont icharge/turn on at all, im just wondering would apple replace it, as  am a student and need a computer and this is my only one?

    Sorry no Apple will not replace it. What happened was an accident and the Apple warranty does not cover accidental damages.
    So it looks like you will need to buy a new computer or pay to have your Mac fixed.

  • Hi, my 4th generation 8gb white ipod charger port is broken, would apple replace my product for free if I'm not insured?

    Hi, my 4th generation 8gb white ipod charger port is broken, would apple replace my product for free if I'm not insured?

    I doubt it since that type of damage is caused by the user, not a defect. You can always make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and ask
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99.

    They should have one in Stock, but you never know. Call your Apple Store and tell them you have an iPhone 5 color and GB, and that you most likely will need a replacement, do they have any in Stock. If yes, go in, if not ask for advice on how to handle your problem.
