All iPads iPad 3 dropped, Replacement question.

Depends upon stock. You'd have a better chance for a 4 if the 5 were out. You could always go in and see I suppose. You could also get it, sell it off and buy the 4 if that is what you want.

 

typically, they replace like for like. same color, same capacity, same everything. the only way you don't get another three is if they don't have stock. whether you wait now or later, i see it as unlikely. it's possible, but unlikely.

 

Find the phone numbers of some Apple Stores near you and call and see if they have the same iPad you have in stock.
If they don't, go in and ask for a replacement, when they don't have the type you have, they may just have to bump up your storage or give you a 4.

Or you'll just get one in a different color, or they'll make you wait for a replacement in the mail.
