Yes, I've gotten that since November of last year. I have an (AT&T) s23 Ultra (unlocked) that I've brought over to Mint Mobile, and because I don't have access to the AT&T network any longer, it hasn't been able to update. This, apparently, is a known issue since 2022 with no resolution yet. As the phone is two years old, and since I like getting security updates, at a minimum, I've ordered my first foldable, the Fold 7 1TB to resolve the issue.

I blame AT&T for this situation, as it is their brand of Samsung phone and because they didn't warn me of this issue when I called to cancel my service with them, nor did they seem to care that I was leaving their service after over thirty continuous years.

But I pay $20 per month now, as opposed to the $100 I use to pay with AT&T, and will be receiving a new phone, that is expected to receive updates for the next six or seven years (at about $28 per month; $2000/(6*12)), as a result, so I'm still ahead in my opinion.

That's an expensive resolution!

A solution none this less. And to be honest, an excuse to buy a new phone.

I canceled my Z Fold order after comparing my S25U to the Z Fold.
I cannot live with that horrible 3x ancient camera. I use my 5x too much to compromise.

Certainly reasonable. I don't take many zoom photos myself. The main camera is exactly the same as the s25u, which is all I really need.

I take a lot of Zoom photos, rarely use the Ultra Wide. I don't need to take moon shots, just a really good 30×.
