Do NON contract iPhones get upgrades?

I'm getting a non-contract iPhone 5 in a few months. We're going with the non-contract one because even though it's $550, its only $45 a month for unlimited everything except data, and my dad rather spend more money on the phone and less a month, then $100-200 on the phone and like $80 a month because that would add up fast, plus we can't getting a family plan because he and my mom don't want iPhones.
So I was wondering if non-contract phones get upgrades?
