Question about Genius Bar stock...

[geneticfusion]

Does Apple have a separate stock for people wanting to exchange their iPhone due to problems? Also, would it be possible to get a new sealed phone instead of them just swapping out the 2 phones since it would be so close to release?

Right now the only difference between the replacement phones and the new ones is the packaging they are shipped to Apple in, i.e. the replacements are NEW right now (assuming we're talking iPhone 4).

They are new phones. They are sealed in a plan black box. The Mac Genius opened two for me yesterday when I took my iPhone 4 in for reception issuses. They both had the same problem as mine so I ended up keeping the one I got.

Yep. Mine came out of the plain black box. Took mine in for a stuck + button.

Since the iPhone just came out yesterday (officially), it is to earlier for Apple to already have refurbished iPhones in stock. so the ones in the plain box are still brand new (no previous owners), so you should be fine.
