I have an unlocked At&t iPhone 5 (MD640LL), I'm using with T-Mobile, that I got 4 months ago and I'm thinking about going to an apple store and getting it replaced with T-mobile version. My question is how easy is it to get it replaced?
Got a tip for us?

Replaced? Under warranty? Do you have AppleCare+?
Is it defective, damaged?
If you just want another model you will have to buy a new one and sell your old one.

It's still under warranty I've had it since September and I want want another model
You'll just have to sell it and then buy the model you want. A lot of people are doing it for TMobil.
Well i'm looking at other posts and I figured since most people are replacing their original iphone 5's for the newer models, instead of selling them I thought I could do it too
I think people that are replacing them are doing so due to some defect, be it apple care plus damage coverage or manufacturers defect. I haven't read of anyone simply waltzing into an apple store, saying I want a new phone, and having it happen.
Yeah. You can't trade it for another model. This is to prevent people from trading an AT&T iPhone 5 for a Verizon iPhone 5 and making more money. (As Verizon iPhone 5's are worth more via arbitrage since they are factory unlocked)
Well here's the post that I was talking about. Check it out

Isn't it the same model though? I mean both tmobile and AT&T are gsm and I'm not gonna trade it for a Verizon. I just want to get the newer, tweaked A1428 model that just came out
Its much more better? UHHH NO? its only good if you have tmobile otherwise its worthless.
if you want a new phone sell yours and buy it straight up. Apple isnt gonna give you a different phone. I mean you could try and you MIGHT get lucky with a genius but i doubt it

My point exactly. It's only a matter of hours before this gets shut down too. Grow up, kid. (OP)
