Why can't I update my S6 Edge to Android 6.0.1 (or 6.0)?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925F), non-branded, with the Android version 5.1.1 on it. According to many websites, the software update for it to 6.0.1 has been available since March (and even earlier for branded phones). Yet, in my phone settings, it says that there is no update. When I launch SmartSwitch (Mac), it doesn't give me an update option, either. Here's a screenshot: i.imgur.com/BCnObor.png

Why is everyone else getting updates except me?
Is there a way to "force" the update?

Thank you in advance!

Yes, and there is a version for my phone. But wouldn't it delete everything on my phone if I install it using Odin?
My original question was if there's any way to get my built-in update function to work, since it doesn't recognize the new update.

If you are rooted then no the built in function will not work.

You didn't mention specifically which Galaxy S6 you have, as there are several models in there so I can't double check for you. You'll just have to wait.

Sorry. Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, SM-G925F, G925FXXU2COH2, German.
The device is not rooted. The update search doesn't prevent me from searching. It just says that the newest updates "are already installed."
