Pixel 6 December update

Google releases the updates whether if the phone was purchased through Google or Tmobile on a staggered basis.

Verizon is in partnership with Google which is why their phones probably received it first.

I understand what you are saying, but before I bought two Pixel 6 phones from T-mobile my wife bought a Pixel 3A when T-mobile was selling them. She received  every month the security update and Android 12 when it was released. That was the reason I bought two Pixel 6's. There are major issues with the Pixel 6 which this update is to fix. I've been with Tmobile 15 years and they are very slow to release updates. 

I know all of Google's phones were updated except the Pixel 6 and pro. I'm not tech savvy to even try to side load it. How is the new update? I'm certainly having issues and the only fix for me is to restart the phone a dozen times a day. I really need a working phone.

Honestly it's not T-Mobile it's Google they rolling the update really slow.  They even release it week later from other pixel phones.i couldn't wait so I sideload it 

How would I enroll in the program? I'm interested.

Have you tried enrolling in the Pixel developer's program? You just need an eligible phone which you do and you don't need to be tech savvy. Google is rolling out Pixel 12L and you get the updates faster.

Android 12L it's not available for pixel 6 

I can't believe the newest flagship Pixel isn't included.

Its good but not great and sideload it's not the hard 

Here is a video all software comes from Google ...think Google it's taking there time to release because a lot ppl finding bugs specially on uk n Canada networks 

I've read about many network connection issues with the new update. Maybe it's best being delayed as it seems Google is still having problems. 

Not in the us most problems are canada and Europe

This isn't T-Mobile's fault. Google says that we should just wait and that they are sending the update out in batches. Why can't they send the update out to everyone like Apple? I guess that they don't care if their Pixel 6 series users get frustrated. Seriously this is a Google issue

For them not to have answers means they aren't working on getting answers.

It doesn't matter, we didn't get the scheduled December update and it looks like we aren't going to get the January update, T-Mobile doesn't care enough about their customers to find out why. 

Flagship phones, especially new releases used to get the new updates fast. I used to like that until I got my S20U. T-Mobile pushed an update that essentially made my phone(and most other TMO S20U owners) useless for over 2 months at launch. The update broke the network connection where it would drop every few minutes and many missed calls/texts, even on Wi-Fi.

With this update, people have been reporting worse signal and overall performance which I would highly assume the reasoning for the delay as even google has been quiet on this update after pushing it out passed the initial deployment date.

If you are that much in rush to get the latest update, sideload it(with risks). For me, after having my S20U for 2 years and switching to the P6P, I'd rather them make sure the update is ready for deployment rather than rush it out. For those reaching out to CS, you have better luck finding a more accurate deployment date by searching on your own. They used to keep this page up to date a lot, but not anymore sadly https://www.t-mobile.com/support/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates
