My Pixel 7 will not receive the January 2023 security update . Tried doing it manually and no luck, have heard it's a T-Mobile issue but that's just hearsay. Heard you can just pull your sim out and...

So that only leaves something behind the scenes. Something tmo and google are hashing it out. Its got to be something that the two cant agree on. I highly suspect something feature related. I keep saying I think tmo wants something removed or blocked?
We're just going to have to wait it out. Once we do get a update. I'm pretty sure it will be a specific android build for tmo. We can pick it apart then and look for whats different.
- It’s more likely the time necessary to modify and fully test code, which is significant,
- It won’t be a specific T-Mo build for factory unlocked phones (like mine).
- It’s more likely a functional issue specific to the T-Mo network than something T-Mo wants removed or blocked.

initially there will be a fork specific to a carrier for bug fixes which may affect other devices but it'll eventually come down to 1 source code when they find a better fix or see the fix won't break other devices. If you look at the factory images for an example.
I have a 7 from Google and I don't hVe the January update and I am not bothered by it as I understand it's a staggered release. If I really wanted to I can install the OTA by side loading.
My last phone before I switched to a Pixel was a LG V30 that rarely updated their phones so if the Pixel update is late I know I'll still get it sometime unlike the LG.
