My iPad Pro 12.9 first gen (2015) still rocks on iPadOS but the battery is down to 80 percent capacity according the Apple Genuis Bar. I understand the battery replacement service from Apple is 99 bucks and they don’t swap the battery but replace it with a refurb unit. Has anyone had this done before? Of course my hope is they don’t have first gen refurbs and give you the 2017 model. Thanks...

They'll likely give you the same model.
 
Yeah, that would be the logical assumption. I just wonder if anyone has experienced anything different...
