I usually get these updates, on the same days as the carriers, on unlocked s24 ultra Around 2_3 am central time USA. Unlocked is unlocked, the update comes from Samsung not who's sim card is in your phone. It's coming, middle of the night, šŸ’¤šŸ’¤šŸ’¤ smash that update button around 3 am.

Also, who buys a carrier locked phones, there are no deals anymore and you finance the device for 3 years...

Your assertion here is wrong.

When you take the phone out of the box, it is pointed to the Samsung update servers, and if connected to Wi-Fi will download any updates from them.

The moment you insert a Sim, or install an e-Sim into the device, it will change the update server to point to that carrier's servers.  From that point on it will get the updates from the carrier, in the schedule they determine.  It now out of Samsungs hands.  This will NOT change when you remove or un-install the Sim or e-Sim.

Idk why samsung does this. Like why even buy a fully unlocked phone which seems to get the updates last, why can't they roll it out globally to every single device like Apple? It's definitely doable for samsung but for some reason, they dont

Due to a contractual agreement with the carriers, Samsung is required to distribute their updates through the carriers.

Apple joined the party much later, and dictated that they will not participate in this.  Carriers caved so that they can have Apple devices on their networks, Google then followed suit with their Pixel line.
