Well. if they repaired your original item, that would be, in fact, refurbished.
So wouldn't receiving an Apple refurb from the back room to replace your unit seem completely reasonable?

That seems to be a gray area, if you paid more for new and it was defective should they give you a cheaper refurb? My phone was less than two weeks when I made the appointment.
