forgive me if this has been answered. I've always found using the wired (over the USB cable) tethering on iPhone to be most reliable on my Mac. So I was disappointed when I realized that it won't work on the new iPad Pro if you go Lightning ---> USB-C. Is that connection only one way? For charging the phone? I'm curious if you plugged in a hub and ran the iPhone into a USB-A port whether it would work

Either way, would be great to see apple add this option. Wi-fi hotspot tethering works decently most of the time, but there's no beating a wired connection.

I’d assume that the required drivers aren’t present in iOS. iOS devices aren’t intended to be used tethered to wired setup.
