That's normal from my experience of Google and their OTAs. it usually takes weeks. If you want it now, sign up to the beta and you'll get the final version immediately.

I don't care about the latest version of Android (all latest releases are as bug ridden as the previous one at the start) but there is no excuse for not providing security patches for phones for at least 3 years after release.

I have an old Moto G2 and that was put on Android 6 a while back but the security patch still shows January this year, nothing since.

Android is shooting itself in the foot with this especially as people are being persuaded to put more and more of their private life on their phones.

Yeah I've been using the Developer Previews on my 6P since the beginning and I got the OTA about an hour after it was released.

Yes my brother had the OTA yesterday on his 5X, still waiting on my 6P.

On a side note my Nexus 9 got the OTA last week.

I signed up for the update yesterday. Haven't noticed too much at the moment - notifications look a bit cleaner. i guess there's a lot of back-end stuff going on.
