Never. You get the same model you originally had, unless they no longer sell it.
Sorry, it sounds good but they will never do this unless they do not have stock of your current model.
Apple's policy is 100% a like for model, they don't even offer a different colour model, let alone a newer phone.
So you damaged your phone and want Apple to give you the new "S" model as a reward?
Stopped selling, not stopped stocking for warranty and OoW replacements.
no not at all. i didnt bend my phone on perpose as im happy with the six. its been like it for months but the my local apple store always fully booked so getting an appointment is a nightmare. im happy to get a 6 but would rather have the stonger 6s and not have to get it swapped again. im happy to pay the extra to upgrade.
You will not be happy then as they will not allow you to upgrade.
This. They will still have it for replacements. Hell they replaced the original iPhone up until maybe 2 years ago.
the upgrade price would be $650 if you want
Actually they will have gold in stock for replacement purposes so they will replace it for the same exact model.
Yep, I think their policy is to carry replacements for 7 years from the device's original launch date.
Trust me, they will still have warranty replacements on a big shelf out back.... Way back in the day when the original shuffle had been updated a few months earlier (& I had never set foot in an Apple Store before, except to browse), I got all excited when they agreed to replace my last gen shuffle... I never dreamt that they would still have the old model in stock for replacement, but they did. And back then Apple weren't even a fraction of the retail monster that they are today.
What I would suggest you doing then is go to your Apple Store as soon as possible and get the replacement for you 6 (to another 6) and then immediately sell it somewhere, Craigslist , eBay, swappa (which I just used, I loved it) or something of the like.. That way you can technically sell it as a like new phone with no scratches or dents/ marks and you will get the most resale value and then you can buy the 6S.
You will never get an upgrade, but you may get a replacement. Just go to the Apple Store already and find out whether it is eligible for replacement.
If they did that, there would be a huge flow of "accidentally" bent iPhones coming in every year right after a new model is released. So no, Apple is not that stupid.
damn hahah cheers for the help. only asking because when first got retina pro had few hardware problems and just gave me the new model and not the one i had as had which was bonus. just wondering if was still the same with the phones.
fyi some of you need to calm or just watch your wording. makes you come accross abit angry for a simple question

check appointments daily. I noticed they will show they are full for sometimes a week out, but then when you check later that day there are appointments for the same day open.
