The T-Mobile (USA) carrier minority variant McLaren 7Pro 5G has so many negatives against it already.
There will be no global firmware to convert this exclusive T-Mobile model to, (the only other 5G model, 7 Pro 5G, has a different chipset, etc: ), and buyers will be at the mercy of TMO butchering the firmware and its usual slow or no, firmware updates.

Owners on that thread are begging to exchange their 7 Pro 5G models for the non 5G as it is much better supported and updated phone model.

Bottom line: In my humble opinion, the T-Mobile (USA) McLaren 5G is a whole heap of misery, just waiting to happen
