iOS 13.3 on iPhone 7 changing region by itself

This is a follow up post on a problem that showed up for the first time on iOS 13.2.3 and is continuing throughout iOS 13.3 on (it seems) only iPhones 7. (This is the previous post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250908177?answerId=251778999022&page=2)


Issue: iPhone changing country by itself autonomously from one's own regional settings to USA

When: Typically when the phones are connected to CarPlay

Peculiarities: all users use English language in their settings but are not in USA; their region is automatically and without notice changed to USA (in my case from Italy to USA, other users from Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Denmark) and the News app is also automatically installed in the same process. All happens instantly and requires time to be reset to original conditions.

iPhone 7, iOS 13
