Android 15 update for Pixel 9
When do we expect the rollout of Android 15 on Pixel 9 for T-mobile? Will it be on the 15th October or a later date?
Google pushes out those updates, not T-Mobile. Android 15 should launch on October 15th but it will not get pushed to all devices at once. A staggered rollout is what is always done with a major update to make sure no major bug has slipped passed QA and affects millions of devices.

The factory images are also now available as well for the Pixel 7 series.

@syaoran So are you saying that Google releases OTA updates for each device? Even though Android 15 is out there for P6 up to P9s, us P7 owners are waiting on google? I was always under the impression that its the carrier that approves updates per device and send the OTA update request
P7's are waiting for an update for their bootloader code before the update gets pushed. This applies to all of the Pixel 7 series regardless of carrier.
Where are you finding that information? I have never heard of that and the various forums I follow don't seem to indicate as such
It was mentioned in one of the Android news sites. It should make it out next week.

Can confirm this is not live on my Pixel 7 Pro as of 10/17. This is similar to the delay for my Pixel 6 Pro and Android 14 last year. This is absolutely related to T-Mobile not releasing the update in a timely manner.

This update did land on time. But every month the update is late. The 14 update was 2 weeks late and they were forced to apologize. The only reason 15 is on time was Google gave the carriers a month to be able to review it. But yes, T-Mobile must review all updates and sometimes, oftentimes, it is late. All you have to do is Google it and you will see many customers discussing this All you have to do is Google it and you will see many customers discussing this
That isn't how it works but you keep preaching your decades old out of date info all you want. Carriers have had way more than a month to be ready for Android 15, not that it is a big update. People in the beta have had it for the better part of 4 months.

Neither does my 7.
