    The Lightning port supported this to via a Lightning>USB-A adapter and then plugging in a USB to Ethernet adapter. I tried this as far back as my iPad Air 2 several years ago, this isn’t a new feature at all.

      I think the buzz is more surrounding the speeds. Lightning was limited to USB 2.0 speeds, whereas USB-C can potentially hit 10Gbps speeds.

        That makes sense. More power to the people who want to tether their phones to an Ethernet port, I suppose that would be nice if you’re downloading a large game or something just to speed it up a little bit.

        The iPhone 15 is usb2. So surely can’t hit gigabit speeds also. The pro models should be absolutely fine though.

        There aren’t any 10Gbps usb-c adapters. They are all thunderbolt. But you can get 5Gbps on regular USB-c. I’ve been looking for years, so I’d be thrilled to be proven wrong
