    Perpetual problems with iPhone Hotspot

    Hello. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max (iOS 17.5.1) that I use as a hotspot and a camera and nothing more. (For my "phone", I use my MacBook Pro and VoIP.) My mobile carrier is AT&T. As long as I have had this phone, I have crappy Internet on my mobile hotspot. And this is a major issue...

    Pro-tip: Disable hotspot mode if you aren't using it

    Happy post new-iOS version drop day. Please do not repeat my folly: Disable hotspot mode on your iPhone if you aren't using it. Here is my tale of woe: I connect my iPhone Xr to my PC to do a full backup prior to the software update. Then I hit download new iOS version iTunes. A half hour...

    Computing on the road - Questions

    My last MacBook Pro died suddenly in 2013. I had to switch to an iMac for budgetary reasons, so I haven't been in the thick of it as far as mobile computing capabilities and expectations since then.

    mobile hotspot on iOS 11 Sprint network using unlimited mobile data

    What kind of hack can I utilize on the Sprint network to take advantage of my unlimited data? I don't want to pay extra for Sprint's mobile data plan service. I have the iPhone 8 on iOS 11. It's not jailbroken, but I'm willing to do so if that helps? is there an app, or some way to trick the phone?

    Carrier Verizon Unlimited - No throttle after 10 GB tether

    I purposefully used way over 10 GB of tether data to see if Verizon had in fact a "hard cap" on the mobile hotspot. So far, I've used about 15GB of tethering and my speeds haven't slowed down a bit. Maybe they put that wording in just to deter people from using the hotspot as their home ISP?

    Mobile Hotspot issue on Iphone

    I would like my tablet to automatically connect to my iPhone's personal hotspot. I figure this should happen automatically but it doesn't seem to. My tablet only seems to connect if my iPhone is unlocked and in the setting/personal hotspot window. I guess it's a battery saving thing to not have...
