Um.... the V10 already has Nougat from LG so I don't think it's LG that's the problem

It was first released in South Korea back in late may 2017..

TMobile got it in July of 2017.

I was waiting but verizon never seemed to release it.

Isn't it up to the carriers to release their custom version of the OS once it's been finished by LG? If LG hadn't released the v10 Nougat, how are all the other carriers getting it?

LG said the V10 wouldn't get it, but then almost 8 months later changed it mind...  Notice LG said it wouldn't, but then changed their mind.  During all that time they didn't work on an update until that point.  So what does that tell you?  It isn't up to the carriers it's up to the OEMs.  If they make it carriers will release it.  Carriers don't make money off devices.  They make money off the services.  They make the same amount if you had an iPhone or a V10 no matter what OS version.  This was testified in court by carriers and also admitted by OEMs.  Something to think about.
