Replacement iPhones still "new"?

[aforty]

Anyone get a [black box] replacement iPhone recently? Was it new or refurbished? I got mine replaced a few weeks ago and it was still "new" but now I have to go in again (dead pixel) and I'm wondering if I'll get a refurbished this time.

I've gotten two replacements. Both new. I don't think they give out used ones.

When did you get your last replacement?


Anyone else?

Some people are getting refurbs now. Serial number starts w/ a 5 I believe.

I got both at the apple store.

I got both at the apple store.

Not "where"... When did you get the latest replacement?

yes the refurbs are out! not that it really matters. refurbs are checked over better then factory phones. Oh I know you loose the Virgin experience. 😛

I just got a replacement yesterday. It's a week 28 iPhone which to my surprise came with 4.0 installed. My first one was a week 30 that shipped with 4.0.1. The genius had to go in the back of the store to get some new black boxes to put up front when he was getting mine, so some stores must still have new phones as replacements.
