Any scope on when we'll get the android 13 update for the z fold 3?

Yeah tmobile sucks at updates, every other carrier is fine and we're still being told it's in development.

Tmobile unfortunately is a joke phone service these days

if TMO was in charge of device updates sure..unfortunately the OEMs are the ones that handle said updates as well as the add ons required by the carriers..which is usually where things get delayed..

TMO. IS in charge of this release, Samsung released ages ago and Verizon was fine updating last month. 

This is ALL tmobile's fault. 

lol sure thing. only reason V kicked theirs out sooner is it passed testing before TMOs variant did..nothing more...nothing less..again..the OEMs are the main ones that create it for their devices and then adds in whatever the carrier requests be added on after the fact..which is where most issues/delays come in.

Actually it gets released to the carrier and THEIR engineers as the carrier specific elements.

So once again tmobile is the sole delay

either way you want to look at it the add ons are creating delays..the V variant passed its add on testing before TMOs did.

heres the run down on how updates are handled start to finish..no difference between OEMs on how theyre handled..

That's also HTCs method.  Samsung releases to carriers first and simultaneously than the carrier software engineers begin customization with the development teams from Samsung. 

Each carrier is soley responsible for distribution and final development for locked phones.  Tmobile is behind as usual when it comes to software releases, they have been since they restructured their management and bought sprint. 

Tmobile is far worse as a carrier than before and I've been with them since the G1 back in 08.

I gotta say, it's frustrating to have spent so much on this device through TMO just to have to sit at the side of the pool while the the cool kids get to play:

The delays are intentional. TMO would much rather have you buy a newer phone from them than to upgrade anything.
