Get it fixed again or report it stolen?

Okay so before I start you should know I have extremely bad luck with cell phones. I have broken 7 in the past 6 months. I have an LG G3 and I have cracked the screen on it twice and gotten it fixed both times. After the second time I bought an Otterbox and $20 tempered glass screen protector. Anyway, long story short I slipped and fell at work (my phone was in my back pocket) and now the screen is damaged. Not cracked, but it looks like static and it's black on an inch of the entire left side.
Four days before this happened I went to T-Mobile to see about getting the new iPhone.
I was wondering if I would be better off getting this phone fixed yet again and waiting to get the iPhone or if I should report it stolen and ask if I could upgrade to the iPhone instead of receiving a refurbished LG G3.

Just know that filing a false police report is illegal, whichever path you should chose. No judgement here, just letting you know that you could get in trouble if they find out you are trying to trick them. Best of luck!

Reporting it stolen won't gain you anything. They don't just give you upgrades, they arent stupid.
