Can I replace the iMac 2013 with the 2015 Retina iMac?

Question

Can I replace the iMac 2013 with the 2015 Retina iMac?

I broke my iMac I bought 3 weeks before the iMac 4K was released. Yesterday, I brung it to the Apple Store and fixed it, but today, Apple told me to replace it. Here are the specs:

iMac 21.5" 1080p 2.9GHz Quad Core 8GB RAM, 1TB Hard Drive Late 2013

I am planning to buy the iMac 21.5" 4K Retina because it is gonna be vintage on October 13, 2020.

I bought my iMac on September 26, 2015. If the Mac is vintage after being discontinued for 5 years, in which I neither live in California or Turkey, can I fix my iMac at an Apple Store? I am not sure about the replacement price of the iMac.

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), 27", 4GHz 4 Core, Core i7, 1TB Flas

Can't figure out what your question is but if you are asking if the Apple Store will repair an iMac, of course they will.

Are you asking if Apple will replace the computer with a newer model? The answer is no, but being a billionaire, that shouldn't be an issue for you.

If the warranty has expired, you can have it fixed anywhere you like - Apple or an AASP.

You can also buy as many/different new iMacs as you like as you will need to pay for your purchase. You might want to consider buying them with your company's business account (might wind up with tax savings), depreciate it using the proper IRS schedule/rules, sell it to yourself, and then can add them to your private collection later.

By the way, you might want to check your homepage link in your profile as it winds up with an error. Your company appears to be located in India.

No, it's not located in India. Or anywhere else.

my Femtosoft is not in India. There is one there, but I don't work there. I work in California Femtosoft and own the company. This might have been some of my clients in India, but it is Worldwide.

Well, that is so cool! One of our contributors here is from Munich - what's the address? He couldn't find anything there.

Which brings me back to what I said much earlier: it does not reflect well on your company if you post a link in your profile to your homepage - but that does not go anywhere because there is no such website. It gets more confusing since your other sites claim that you're in Boston.
