Ubuntu Server 21.10 - How to use iPhone USB tethering?
By Daniel Rodriguez •
I'm trying to use my iPhone as Hotspot via USB (tethering) in Ubuntu Server 21.10 installed on Raspberry Pi 4: unsuccessfully so far.
I installed the following packages as found on internet:
sudo apt-get install ipheth-utils libimobiledevice-dev libimobiledevice-utilsThen, I'm connecting my iPhone via USB to the Raspberry Pi, but it's not working.
I tried to reboot, and to sudo netplan apply , but it's still not working.
Information about my config:
- Raspberry Pi 4
- Ubuntu Server 21.10
- iPhone 12 iOS 15.0.2
When I run ip a , here is the output I got:
