The only way it might happen is if there were no more iPhone5 units to be had... and even then - they'd be likely to only do a 5c because its the closest in specs to the 5...

If you want the 5s, why don't you keep the replacement 5c or 5 in the box as new and sell jt online, using the proceeds towards a new 5s? It should pay for 75% of the price. I'm assuming that replacements come in the box sealed?

If they give you another 5, then just keep it, looks the same and I prefer the black over space grey. If they give you the 5C, enjoy the colour as it looks trendy!

No they would not give a 5c.. This is a 64 GB we are talking about. It would be a 5s but the chance of Apple stopping making iPhone 5 replacement phone now is slim to none. They would just order a 5 if none were in stock for replacements.

No, Apple will replace your iPhone 5 with another iPhone 5. Apple still has replacement iPhone 4's, and there is no mechanism for getting a service swap for a newer iPhone.
