Bhaijaan, Pakistan is far behind in the local infrastructure of network carriers than others which is responsible for a software update to get delivered. The arrival of updates depend upon network standards, Government regulations and network career compatibility as stated earlier. So, if an update arrives in 1/2 phase markets such as India/US, then Pakistan will receive the update 1 month later - depending upon your network service provider. You will receive the update earlier than others in the same country if you live in the urban areas in Islamabad, Karachi, Peshawar, etc. The delay can be much more, if your network provider is underdeveloped or you live in a remote area/village/small town.
