With the release of iOS 13.3.1 a few days ago, Apple has added a little feature to the latest generation iPhone. We saw success in the past beta and with it, the possibility of raising the U1 chip has been increased which among other things allows to locate the device inside with great accuracy. Over the last few weeks there has been less controversy when it was discovered that system apps cannot be completely shut down on the iPhone 11. With this update we can turn off the U1 chip, let's take a look at how we do it.
How to disable U1 chip for iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max
As pointed out by Apple, the reason that the program environment services work on these models is because of regulatory issues. The Ultra band U1 is at industry level under regulation, so it is mandatory to turn it off in certain areas.
If we want to make an Ultra-wideband chip at any time, with iOS 13.3.1 we can already do it. You just have to follow these steps
- On your iPhone, go to Settings> Privacy.
- Select Location Services below.
- Locate the network connection and wireless networks and disable it.
- A confirmation dialog will pop up asking if you're sure to do so, indicating that it can affect the performance of the blue, Wi-Fi and U1 chip.
To receive this last message, we'll have it disabled U1 chip for iPhone 11
There are rumors that the U1 chip will be compatible with AirTag, a service like Tile find lost items. Apple was expected to introduce these tags last September, something finally happened. This delay could be related to a recent accusation made by Tile at Apple about anti-humanitarian practices, something we saw at the time and which is strange.
