Thanks to everyone for the advice. Since I will no doubt be replacing the phone at some point, I think I will just take the below advice.

Your 5C is out of warranty anyways and you’ll get it done for much cheaper at one of those places and it will be just as good. A few years ago my wife’s iPod fifth generation had a non functioning home button, it was out of warranty and Apple said they can’t fix it and I could get a replacement for a discount. I took it to a repair place and they replaced the home button for $50 Canadian, it took 2 hours and it’s now been longer since the repair then it was from when the iPod was new and it broke and it still works fine.

I recall there were some iPhone 5’s for which they swapped out the battery. I know I got a replacement battery under this off, which was linked to certain serial numbers.
