Carrier AppleCare+ replacement iPhone carrier

[ApplelD]

Normally I would go with carrier insurance but I’ve been screwed over with them before so I chose AppleCare+ with this iPhone and now I’m having to use it for the first time to get a replacement so can I use my AppleCare+ to receive a replacement iPhone that is unlocked (SIM-FREE) so I can use it without issues? I see the Apple Store sells only models from the 4 major carriers but as I’m on a prepaid carrier do they have models in stock for my specific carrier or am I just given a sim free model and I just put in the SIM from my damaged iPhone into the new one?

So it won’t matter whether if it’s unlocked or not because the replacement will work on my carrier anyway?
