I am not sure how the Verizon 2-year contracts work but I assume it is similar to AT&T. Essentially, AT&T will charge you $15/month for a new phone plus the upfront costs. This amounts to $360. Assuming $300 upfront, you essentially would pay $660 for the phone with AT&T. Assuming the Verizon cost was about the same with your 5s, you essentially got back half the cost (or more) of the 5s phone with your trade-in. That strikes me as a pretty good deal since tech depreciates very fast - iphones seem to hold their value. Good luck with the new phone.
