Is a new contract required in order to purchase an iPhone 6?

I was just wondering if I could purchase a plain iPhone 6 without having to sign up for a contract first, because I have a pay as you go plan with verizon, it's just $45.00 a month. I have an older iPhone. I wanted to purchase the new one, but I can't purchase one off of the Apple site unless I sign up for a contract, or get T-Mobile (without the contract) but I don't have, or want T-Mobile. Just wondering if that's mandatory; a contract. Is there another site to purchase a phone off of where it's JUST the phone, then you switch your number over to it?

What is the point of Jailbreaking on iOS 8?

Okay so I use to be very active in the Jailbreaking world when the iPhone 3gs and the original itouch were out and eventually I got out of the loop and even switched to android for a long time but now I'm back on iPhone, 6 to be specific, and I'm really wandering what is the point of the Jailbreaking in the current time. I'm not critizing it I'm honestly just asking out of curiosity to see if it's worth doing it on my iPhone.
