That's the latest version Google has posted for some reason - https://developers.google.com/android/images#barbet

re: New unlocked Pixel 5a on June security patch on AT&T.
There's a Reddit thread about this as well. I opened a ticket with Google Support, who claims that the updates are being rolled out in batches. Unfortunately, they're just their generic answer and I don't have any confidence that it's true. When I asked for a timeline they were sure to tell me they could not provide one.
In the Reddit thread there are rumors that it might not be patched until the September Monthly update, but those are just rumors. So far as I know Google has not officially said anything.
But if it helps, this is impacting every single 5a. You don't have a faulty device, they're all like this.

re: New unlocked Pixel 5a on June security patch on AT&T.
FWIW, the history of monthly updates on my Pixel 2XL was to get them the first week of the month. They do roll out in batches, not everyone gets them the same day.
I don't understand the angst about not getting an update on your phone that you might have had in your possession for all of four days. What's up with that?

When I first powered-up my s21ultra last February there was security update available. The new pixel is on the June security patch. I was hoping that Google would go ahead and update, but if I have to wait a bit longer no big deal.

re: New unlocked Pixel 5a on June security patch on AT&T.
When did the S21 Ultra come out? January? When you got yours it had been out for several weeks, time enough for an update.
The 5a has only been available since Thursday, August 26th. How many are out in the wild that need updates? A thousand? A couple thousand? I can understand why Google would wait for the usual monthly update cycle to update the 5a.

The s21 series became available January 29. I got mine February 2...4 days, not several weeks.

re: New unlocked Pixel 5a on June security patch on AT&T.
As far as we can tell, every Pixel 5a was shipped with the June 5 patch and none of them have received an update yet. That's two months of critical patches these devices are lacking. Known vulnerabilities that other Pixel phones have already been protected against.

re: New unlocked Pixel 5a on June security patch on AT&T.
Look at my first reply, Google baby even released the patches for July or August for the device. It's not people itching to get something that others have, it's people expecting Google to have the latest device on the latest patch...

re: New unlocked Pixel 5a on June security patch on AT&T.
After having a case open with Google support since I got the device and troubleshooting with them for nearly a week, they've confirmed that there's nothing they can do on their end. We are just supposed to wait and at some point the devices are supposed to be updated. They cannot provide a timeline. They had me try the device recovery but there's no updates there either.
Personally, I'm giving it until the 6th then returning mine. If it's not updated by then then I can't wait any longer without my return window closing.

Patches usually release to Pixel devices on the first Monday of the month, around 1 PM Eastern. As Monday is a holiday in the US the release may be delayed until Tuesday...

re: New unlocked Pixel 5a on June security patch on AT&T.
This is the latest, and only "update" for the 5a.
@Cherenkov - chill out - relax - or we're gonna need a patch for you -
My 5a should be here Saturday - I'll be anxious to see what month patch it has.

It'll be the same if the developer page doesn't have a newer patch posted...
Which was identified through the link in the first reply...
