Quote:Apple has released iOS 13.3.1 with numerous bug fixes including a new setting that allows you to disable the constant location checks being performed by the iPhone 11 U1 chip.
In December 2019, Brian Krebs reported that even with location services disabled for all system services and applications, the new iPhone 11 would still occasionally check for a user's location.
In a statement to TechCrunch, Apple stated that this is caused by the new U1 ultra-wideband (UWB) that needs to be turned off in certain locations due to international regulatory requirements. Due to this, iOS will use Location Services to determine if the phone is in a prohibited location, and if it is, will disable ultra-wideband.
Quote:In addition to the UI location tracking setting, iOS 13.3.1 fixed issues in Screen Time, Car Play, Mail, FaceTime and more.
