I have a OnePlus 8Pro, bought from OnePlus, and have had the newest update for quite while now. My girlfriend has a OnePlus 85G.

Her's is the T-Mobile version, but long since paid off. It says it's unlocked, but T-Mobile's ad bloatware is preventing her from getting the update. BTW, the 13 update is in fact stable, & has been for a long time now. T-Mobile should know that it's now illegal to lock these phones in any capacity once they're paid off. She bought hers second hand, it's been paid off for a VERY long time, and the ad-bloatware is what's blocking the update, hence T-Mobile is breaking the law. We are looking into legal action since the phone is still "locked" but preventing updates.

are you meaning the bootloader is locked? carriers lock the device to their network.
