OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro Android 13 completed, now what?

I really hope it drops soon. I'm also a bit worried though since the last 3 updates over the last year, which is ridiculous, have rendered so many aspects of my phone useless. I'm pretty irritated I spent almost $1k for a phone to be ruined due to a carrier. Next time I buy a phone I'm buying it from the manufacturer. No more waiting on T-Mobile bloatware riddled updates.
