Most Verizon customers can upgrade early through Edge. You have to turn your current phone in though... buy a cheap one on craigslist and activate for a day. This way you keep your current device to resell or give to another family member. Your online account won't tell you are eligible but if you go to the store they will. I have one line that's in contract until next July but it's eligible for Edge early upgrade. So if you really want the 6/6+ there is a way.
As excited as I am in getting an iPhone 6 plus (going to wait till sometime next year) the ios8 is going to be a much needed and fresh change for my iPhone 5. I can't wait for it!!!
