Is it recommended to toggle off the U1 Ultra Wideband chip? Not sure if I should toggle it off or not.
Got a tip for us?

Usually because so many people trying to download it at once lol
Had same problem for first time ever here as well. I just shut wifi off, turned it back on, and bam it downloaded it normal speed. (FIOS here). It was saying 47 mins, after 15 mins, it said 19 mins then jumped to over an hour and sat there for awhile. Finally killed wifi, turned it back on, bam it downloaded it near instantly. :/
May be too early to say this, but on my iPhone 7, 13.3.1 makes it feel like a new device!
Downloaded and installed without issue.
Mail continues to work fine and without issue as it had previously.

I’ll just install it ASAP. Battery life is so terrible in 13.3 (coming straight from 12.4.1) in my SE, I can’t imagine it getting worse...
Hope it solved the Bluetooth issues regarding an inability for Siri to hear you when summoned via “Hey Siri”.
Glad for the confirmation it’s a free update. Was worried about having to pay for it.
I love how they keep the older hardware relevant!
Oh wow! So all these years I’ve been blaming O2 for their lousy network when it was actually an iOS issue.....😜
Could not update. Unknown error occurred (4000).
*sigh*
Will try again later.

My AirPods volume control are totally screwed after the update. anyone else having this issue?
A lot of the issues are with Exchange. Something that worked 100% rock stable for many iOS versions, and which is so broken now that after so many iterations a lot of the issues are still not fixed. It's really an embarrassment for the Apple Mail dev team.
"This is because there are international regulatory requirements that mandate the U1 chip be disabled in certain locations."
hmm....
Apple may not of had that problem with Location Services, but the saying could still apply, like it is for the U1. No one would need to go this far to regulate disabling the chip, if Apple never allowed tracking with it OFF in the first place.
It's a cover up.. Sounds like one.

No, but to me, it doesn't solve the problem.. Its only a workaround. It makes it all legal like if it must be something you have to disable, but the important question which would raise is "WHY does it need to be disabled if it doesn't harm anyone?
That seems to be the opposite effect from what Apple chose to do. You don't put chips in devices with the sole purpose to keep them disabled, unless here is regulations in place..
In this case, it looks like there is more to that,
"Apple added this location toggle after it was discovered that the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max continue to track user location even when location services options are disabled."
It must be two separate options ?
When i say "it's cover up" i mean rather than incorporate it into location services option, they just added a secondary option because location services didn't turn off U1 as well... Well, of course it doesn't it you never add that

...but does it fix the issue where my new mail doesn't load upon opening the native mail app, even though I have a new mail notification?
Yup, already installed in my 5S. Kudos to Apple for keeping those old but trusty (and still capable) devices updated with security patches..
Now, turning the attention to my SE.. 😛 Installation happened pretty quickly.. I'll have to wait for a day or two, to be sure everything is actually ok..
Apple may have wanted to keep the function of the U1 chip separated from Location Services to be able to track locations even if Location Services was turned off. Just a guess here.

I have the same problems everybody else is posting about and only have one email account. It’s an iCloud account.
Arghhhhhh! Mail is still NOT fixed! This was the only fix I wanted.
