On the other hand, AT&T and Sprint will roll out the update early next year - January 5 and January 8, respectively.

Verizon, as you might already know, has made it clear that it's not participating in the roll-out of this update. The carrier explained the reason behind its decision in a detailed statement which you can read here.
