Hello to all. We purchased two iPhone 11 pro and one 11 Pro max. With IOS 13.0 the devices worked well, after updating to IOS 13.1 or 13.1.1 or 13.1.2 strange bugs occur. Even if in the privacy section all the system localizations, find my iphone, and all the app localizations are disabled, iphone continuously connects every 10-20 seconds to the gps network, consuming a lot of battery, it can be seen from the triangle that appears top left. Many users do not notice it because maybe the function that warns when the GPS transmits data is not activated. But I assure you that there is this serious bug and I ask you to all those who have an iPhone 11 pro and pro max of go to settings, privacy, location services, system services and activate status bar icon. You will see the iPhone 11 pro connect continuously to the GPS. In the apple store they changed my devices but it didn't help. Now I am waiting for a call from a consultant to whom I have also sent a video of the problem. I also found other people online with this problem and please check it and report it to us and to Apple. Thanks
 
There are other threads on here reporting the same thing.

Seems to be a bug with the iPhone 11 Pro’s.

I have not experienced this GPS bug on my XS Max or SE.
 
I didn't find them could you tell me? Thanks

 
Same bug here!


iPhone 11 Pro Max and iOS 13.2
 
No issue with 11 Pro Max and 13.2. I have so many apps and system services enabled for location services my arrow stays on permanently cycling between hollow and solid which I expect because of the services I want working on my phone. No battery issues whatsoever, yet. iOS 13/13.2 is a mess with a lot of issues but this is not one of them for me.
 
Same issue here! iPhone 11 Pro iOS 13.2.3. I did a reset to privacy & location services, and to network settings - issue persists.

Something keeps using my location in the background. when checking the location services settings I do not see any purple arrow near any item - not an app or system service. I see an arrow at the status bar as if something is currently using my location, but in settings no app is doing so.

Issue started soon after I turned the phone on for the first time. I did a transfer from my iPhone XS so all settings are same as I had them on my previous iPhone but there I did not have this issue.

Turning location services off completely does work, however I do not want that.
