Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

It's in warranty, so it will be replaced. If those problems are caused by an accident, you will have to pay $229 to get a refurbished iPhone 5. If not, you will get a refurbished iPhone for free

Backup the current iPhone before going to the store to either iTunes or iCloud.

Once you have the new device, restore it from backup. No need to involve the carrier.

Take only the phone, do not take any accessories, you will not be getting replacement accessories, only the phone.
