I traded my iPhone 6 16gb for a 5s 16gb with $260 on top. Was that a good deal? The reason did it was because I kind of needed the money but I plan on getting another iPhone 6 in a month or 2.

If it helped your situation, then yes, it was a good deal. An iPhone 5s is a great phone, and I would not be in a hurry to purchase a iPhone 6, since the 6s is more than likely just around the corner.

I personally wouldn't have done it because I can't stand not having the latest tech, whether it be iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, whatever. I would've went insane going from the latest to a one year old phone haha :)

On the other hand, if it worked out well for you, you made a good decision. Especially with the 6s coming out not too far from now, that extra $260 will be nice to put toward a brand new 6s :)

I'm not sure it is worth asking if it was a good decision. One has to make the best decision for them self. I personally wouldn't have done it...

Hmmmm, myself I would not have made that trade. But only you know your needs, best of luck.

It was a good deal for you because you needed cash...I wouldn't have even considered it, but I don't need the cash so our situations aren't relevant to each other, nor is my evaluation of whether it was a good deal or not.

Yes it was a good deal! I checked the average price on Swappa between the 2 devices and they are just over 200 dollars apart on both the Verizon version and the AT&T version. (206 Verizon, 230 AT&T) So you made out pretty good, better than average. :)

Thank y'all for the opinions on it. The next iPhone I get will be the 6 plus probably but that won't be until June orJuly.

Maybe the extra time would allow you an opportunity to save some cash up so you won't have to go through this trading down situation again? No offense, just an honest observation.
