June 2024 Pixel/Android Update?

Has anyone heard when T-Mobile is going to release the June 2024 update for Pixel devices? There is a gap in security and it seems that T-Mobile is delaying the release on this important update. Google released the update over a week ago, and I am not going to side-load the update. So I'm wondering if anyone else has heard anything?

Just got it #pixel8pro 

I just got it half hour ago. 0.91gb.

I have a Google Pixel 7 with a T-Mobile sim, still waiting for update. My wife has a TM Galaxy S21 FE and got the update 2 days ago

Google released it 3 weeks ago. Don't know why T-Mobile is just sitting on it.

My pixel 7 pro is updating now (Monday June 24, 2024 7:30am Pacific time).

It looks like it's finally available without any special procedure, though I still had to manually make it check for the update. 🙄 I don't believe the claim they're not responsible for the delay. Being charitable, I could see them not being directly responsible, but it is due to the contractor/subcontractor they might have hired to develop the carrier-specific patches that need incorporated into the update package. Which is still technically their fault, but it allows them to "play the PR game," by saying they aren't the responsible party. However, I wonder if they used to have an engineering team in-house that used to do these and to cut costs they outsourced it. Nothing would surprise me these days from Magenta's Business Leadership.

Addition: this is a really good thing for U.S. Government employees who use Pixels on T-Mobile because…

You can believe whatever you wish but manufacturers gave up on carriers being competent enough to not mess up their devices over a decade ago.  Some carriers get their updates before others.  This is usually because there is a modem or carrier aggregation change included in the update.  T-Mobile's network, which Google Fi uses, is a lot more complicated than AT&T's as an example.  Especially after the Sprint merger.

Too add on its for the Pixel users using end of life phones like the 2,3 and 4 line up that can't be upgraded to 14.

So the security update finally arrived. Has anyone received the Google play system update for June, as I am still on the May 1 update. Gracias
