Can I replace my iPhone 4S with a 5S?

So my almost 2 year old iPhone 4S is broken, can I replace it with an iPhone 5s and just pay the difference or how little my 4s is worth? Like if it was with 50 bucks and I was gonna buy the 5s for 650, I'd only have to pay 600. Is that possible?
I've been trying to look around for an email for apple, cause a friend said her mom got that done. Thanks

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

I'm pretty sure you can't. You if you have Applecare you will get another 4s. You could sell it and put the money towards a new 5s of course.

No.

If you purchase an out-of-warranty replacement($199), it will be an identical model.
