iPhone 5-discontinued, those with Apple Care what new phone will Apple give you?

[DankIllini]

Since the iPhone 5 is being discontinued if you have apple care and use your warranty to get a new phone, what phone will apple give you? Will you automatically get a refurbished phone or is there a chance they will replace your iPhone 5 and give you a 5s?

Doubt they'll give is 5s's. Probably refurbs or whatever is left in stock.

They will probably have iPhone 5 models stashed in the back. I took in an original iPad last year and they went and got one in the back to replace.

They will have plenty of refurb iPhone 5 models for a long long time.
They still have 3GS replacements available.

You'll get an iPhone 5.

Didn't they just recently stop supporting the original iPhone in the Apple Store?

5 years of support is long enough.

You would have gotten a refurb anyways. So, yes you will still get a refurb 5. If they carry refurbs several generations back, they will certainly carry the 5.

Yep, Apple keeps plenty of the old model around for warranty work.
