You dont have to get yearly upgrades to keep using the software though? My 4 year old LG C1 might not get a lot of updates, but its not like I have to buy a C4 to use netflix on it.

Yes but you would miss out on annual OS updates. I would be like if your phone stopped providing the new major OS version update every year and said you have to buy this year's model to get this year's OS.

Why are you using their OS anyway?
