Hey there, and welcome to Apple Support Communities sheree11,
From our understanding, you would like to switch to your new and old phone periodically. We can certainly understand your concern and see you came to us from the article Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
To answer your question, yes you can move from older to newer phone and vice versa. In order to perform this task you will need to recover from the most recent iTunes or iCloud backup from the phone you are currently using to the phone you will like to use. If you do not perform this task, the information from device to device can be outdated. Check out this link for more information on how to recover from a backup: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
Please keep in mind that some data that is shared by the same Apple ID will sync between both devices.
Let us know if that helps and kindest regards!
