One UI 5.0 Stable Release

You can also use T-Mobile's own "Source of Truth", the tracker for your device! Since this hasn't been shared, I need to let you know that there is a specific page for this exact inquiry. 

Here is the page for the S22:

https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/software-updates/samsung-galaxy-s22-series-android-update

The good news is that, it's generally only a matter of time! After a device completes testing, it then goes on to complete the development stage before being published. SO the good news is, it's only an amount of time, in most cases...

The bad news, but other good news, is that there is no real time frame. We have these stages of development, but software is a fickle thing and it's understandable they'd rather side on shipping working software later than bad software sooner if possible. Sometimes, things don't work out, and ideally if your phone ultimately doesn't get the update, the news would be indicated on the same page. All is to say, that web page is the ultimate answer for your question.

I'd recommend using this source of truth for status update as the page will refresh when the update is published. When I updated my OnePlus 8T I knew the update was ready since the webpage refreshed and updated. I also knew something happened when the webpage was later deleted for my OnePlus 7T Plus 5G and I was able to alert users here to the issue.

Just wanted to leave you with this webpage since you are being told the same thing I was told, that the blame is based on your device manufacturer, so instead I wanted to give you T-Mobile's own tools for tracking this update so you have a better truth than the word of a forum user. I hope that helps :) If the page goes down, please let T-Mobile know so you can get an updated time frame for your Android Update. 

Lastly @tidbits Apple does do slow releases, known as "sever delayed requests" so basically this is a strange reply that isn't factually correct. Mostly this reply is trying to tell you it's not T-Mobile's fault. That's why I gave you T-Mobile's own tracker, to show you they have their *own* tracking for their *own* update for their *own* network, as opposed to…. Other carriers which have their own trackers and time-lines for development as well. This is obvious as Android 13 is currently on other devices but not T-Mobile devices. 

That is a very long explanation and I apologize for the amount of detail, but you deserve an honest answer, and I hope that clears things up.
