Just the fact you want o upgrade BEFORE you two years are up proves otherwise. How does Verizon know that before this 2 year contract you claim you willing to sign is up you'll want yet another upgrade and the promise you'll sign another 2 year deal which you want to upgrade before 2 years yet again.

Who are you going to go to? At&t makes you wait 2 years before upgrading. T-Mobile doesn't even offer discount upgrades anymore. By the way that is the future. In 5 years probably 3 years no one will be offering subsidies.
