I connected my phone to tether internet since the power was out but the cell network was still going.

iPhones can tether via a wifi connection, so that’s not necessary. Does drain the battery a bit faster, though.

Most desktops don't have WiFi cards + it does add more latency to WiFi hotspot. Say your internet died at home and you still want to play games or work in vdi

iPhone can share it over Bluetooth too, if it helps.

Android can as well.

I wasn’t sure so I didn’t want to say, thanks for the information.

All smartphones I've had since around 2013 could do that. Is Wifi Hotspot still locked behind an ISP paywall exclusively on iPhone?

[–] audiomodder@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Nope. That’s kinda my point though. You don’t NEED to tether.
