So how many people actually got the August update?

using Note 9 unlocked version dual sim..got August update 1st day of using it that's 2 days ago
 
Bought unlocked. Aug update showed up a couple hours after I got it on 8/24.
 
If you mean the ARH2 firmware with the Aug 1 security patch, my unlocked N9 on TMo got that update right after I set up my phone on Aug 28.
 
Got my unlocked version Friday and got the update a few hours after setting it up.
