I purchased my iPhone in October and till now it has had various problems:

1. Touch ID not working sometimes
2. Battery drainage (REALLY FAST)
3. Loose power, home and volume buttons (out of the box)
4. Incorrect compass readings
5. Safari/other applications crashes

Could I get a replacement iPhone? It is still under warranty but I am worried in case it gets refused for replacement, should I take it to the apple store? And what exactly does a Apple warranty cover?

Take it to apple and they should be nice and swap the phone for ya.
 
You can take it in and they may swap it out, but honestly 4 of those 5 issues may be fixed with a software update.
 
They all sound like anal-retentive issues and probably normal except for software fixes.

If you have to ask what the warranty covers, it's not a real defect. Best you can do is take it in and see what they say.
