just replaced my battery on my 6s+ a couple weeks ago but still wondering if i should take advantage of the $250 i could get for it trading it in. $500 for an XR seems like a good deal. plus, i've never been able to use touch id because my fingers are messed up. so face id would be great as would all the other upgrades. my 6s+ actually seems to be a mess right now and it's driving me crazy. laggy and buggy for some reason.

anyone have any idea how much longer they're going to be offering the extra $100 or so on trade-in? maybe just until early january?

i'm at that point where it would be nice to have a new phone but i have also gotten past the place where i always need a new phone, and might be happy to hang on to what i have. i don't worry about breaking it or dropping it or scratching it. which is kind of nice.
