T-Mobile retroactively removes status updates related to software updates
The company T-mobile has removed the page for tracking Android 12 Development for the OnePlus 7T Pro
I made my purchase decision with the promise that T-mobile would be able to handle updating the phone to the software that the manufacturer has already finished working on.
A year later, and they've taken down the page for the OnePlus 7T Pro, seemingly throwing in the towel on this project and those customers.
Remember, never buy a product based on future promise, because even if T-mobile promises on a website that this phone will get Android 12, they'll just 404 that page when satisfying their customers is inconvenient compared to making money.
A-carriers dont create the updates..this is all on the OEM…
B-have you seen the train wreck 12 has been across the board for those same OEMs?
C-if they truly did yank it its due to the update not being compatible or way to many issues to try and fix...and even then the carrier doesnt make the decision to pull it..the OEM does..
D-the 8T already received it..and as you can probably guess by reading this..it didnt go well..
your examples of 12 being a train wreck are in this forum..you can see both the OP8 and 9 ran into a crazy amount of issues after 12..as it did for a handful of Samsung devices as well.
Here is the page that used to work
https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/software-updates/oneplus-7t-pro-update-to-android-12
This page no longer works. The page for the OnePlus 8T+ was also updated but remains live and updated from Development to Testing.
https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/software-updates/oneplus-8t-plus-update-to-android-12
So hopefully it's a mistake, but I doubt it. Looks like they've given up after promising development.
