Supposedly the new iPhones have the new UWB built in, but I
haven't found it anywhere in the Setup. Anybody has?

 
As other point out, it's either on or off depending on Airplane
mode.
 
UWB (in iPhones, etc.) is an Apple feature for high data rate
transfers and ranging functions.  It's sort of a "back office"
function that the user doesn't need to worry about much.
 
(To date it's not clear to me if it's actually used for data
transfer in Apple devices).

 
That’s it: how do I know UWB is on? I have a feeling Android phones
show it with little icon on the top 5 mm  of the screen the way they
used to indicate if 3G or 4G/LTE was being used. Apple likes to keep
us in the dark, sp it seems.

 
I don't know about Android in this sense but I'd be very surprised.
This is a "back office" function.
 
If the phone has it (see model no.) and you're not in Airplane Mode,
then it is on.

Then it’s on … Provided that the network provider has a near antenna
to broadcast UWB. We need to see some indication of that

We need to see evidence that iPhones are actually being tracked through
UWB as well.
