If I lost my iPhone could I get a different colour?

Apple wouldn't fix my iPhone button due to a dent on the side of the phone (poxy b*stards) so I think I'm gonna pull a fast one and say to my insurance company I lost my phone. Would I be able to get a different colour when I get the new phone in the post?

I was wondering this as well when my iPhone was broken, unfortunately not, it has to be the exact same memory and color as the one that has been replaced as faulty or broken. Sorry about that.

They'll try the best to match your phone the way it was. So I highly doubt they won't give you another color unless the other color is out of stock. The only chances you could get another color is if one color was out of stock.
