What if it's too soon to be eligible for an upgrade on iphone?

I want to get the new iphone 6, but I won't be eligible until January. If I decided to get the new one now, what will happen?

You would have to pay the "full retail" price, liken $650 plus still have to wait 2 -3 months since the new iPhones are back orders for that long.

  • Will I be eligible for my upgrade through Verizon 1 day early? It will be easier for me to go to Verizon on a weekend day versus a weekday. AND, it's my birthday week, so I can finally get an iphone with worthy battery and actual sound. So I was wondering if Verizon would let me upgrade a day early without trying to sell me the edge plan bull.
  • Will I be eligible for an upgrade? So I purchased my iPhone 5s with a new contract and everything on my dad's plan in May of 2014, and I checked with ATT and it says I'm eligible for a upgrade if I trade in my device or pay the installment fee. I'm wondering if I trade in my iPhone 5s which has scratches and bents, but it fully works, will I be able to get an iPhone 6s?
  • Verizon iPhone dead, but another line is eligible for an upgrade, contract options? In our share everything Verizon plan, we had 1 IPhone contract activated in October 2012, and 3 in March 2013. My iPhone is broken due to water damage- it's 2 year contract is over this march.Is it possible to purchase a $200 phone through the October contract (while keeping our #s) or do I have to pay full price for an upgrade or wait until march to get a deal on a phone?
  • IPhone 5 shutting down way too soon? Ok so for the past few days my iPhone 5 has been shutting down at anywhere from 16-20% battery level. This is annoying and very bad for me because I rely on my phone a lot. Why is it doing this? It wasn't like this before. It'll get to about 16% usually and turn off as if the battery level hit 0% and when I try to turn it on shows me the red battery screen and prompts me to connect it.
