As a longtime iPhone owner, I need a better mobile hotspot
I've been on the iPhone bandwagon since the iPhone 3G came along in 2008. It was the first iPhone to support 3G connectivity, and it cost just $199.
I haven't owned every iPhone model to date, as I've held on to various models for more years than I'd expected. The iPhone 4 and iPhone X are definitely highlights.
I'm currently using the iPhone 14 Pro and plan to upgrade to one of the four iPhone 16 models this fall. I might not go for a Pro this time around, though the GenAI features might prove to be the deciding factor.
But in all these years, there's one iPhone feature that I've hated passionately, and Apple has yet to "fix" it.
The iPhone's mobile hotspot functionality, or Personal Hotspot, as it's called in Settings, isn't great. It's not broken, hence the quotes on "fix," but it has a major problem: It disconnects randomly, and that can be a huge issue when you depend on it.
