Not yet, but I predict the cellular market to change for the worst for UK consumers soon.None whatsoever. There is no fair use policy in my unlimited data contract. It’s unlimited full stop!

Black Friday is in Nov. how did you get such “deals” months ahead, doesn’t make sense.I just got the Canadian deal of the year. $55 75 GB plan - $25 in Black Friday credits for about 18 months more. This means I get 75 GB for $30 CAD!
Btw who’s your provider fellow Canuck?I just got the Canadian deal of the year. $55 75 GB plan - $25 in Black Friday credits for about 18 months more. This means I get 75 GB for $30 CAD!
Yes glad you got a deal but that doesn’t sound that great tbh.
My “unlimited” is ~£37 per month though technically it’s not unlimited as it has a fair use policy. At about 640Gb and above I think they throttle you. Having said that I think my max usage in a month has been 180Gb with an average use of about 100Gb.
Koodo Mobile.Btw who’s your provider fellow Canuck?
No problem. I don’t think we’re arguing. I should have been clearer that by hotspot I included using a dedicated device, which is what I do. The only time I use my phone for a hotspot is when traveling.ok, if
I am not arguing with the you, but the idea of keeping my phone as a hotspot while trying to use "a phone as it should be used" seem ridiculous to me
Out of interest who is your provider?None whatsoever. There is no fair use policy in my unlimited data contract. It’s unlimited full stop!

Thanks missed that lol3 UK he said
The issue I have with this is you lose the ability to use connected devices in the home, such as smart home accessories, and it makes using a smart tv etc, annoying.
With cheaper home internet through Verizon here, I figured it is worth to just spend the extra $25 here and have home internet.
Don't forget to get use of the Verizon 5g deals - do not sign up for free; lately they were giving Xbox series s and series x, now i think it is 200 gift card to target(?) and a nintendo switch.For anyone considering this, if you’re in the US Verizon and T-Mobile offer 5G home internet plans. You get a cell router and the prices are very cheap, $30-$40 a month. As long as you’re in a good service area for either of those carriers it could be way cheaper than wired internet, and you get the throughput of a proper router.
Is your 14 Pro a launch day purchase?Update:
Battery health is at 86%
No, a few months after the launch. But when I started using it as a hotspot, battery was still at 100%Is your 14 Pro a launch day purchase?
If I was living alone still, I’d probably consider doing the same thing. I don’t stream a lot of videos or play any video games. Most of my online usage is reading. It helps having unlimited hot spot.
What would be the advantage of doing this over just hot spotting from your phone? Serious question, not sarcastic. I work from home & am always looking for a better backup internet than my current system.If someone has a Mac and a router, you can tether the iPhone to the Mac (share with USB), set the Mac's internet sharing to share the connection from the USB phone to Ethernet, and connect the Ethernet to the WAN port on the router.
That's pretty good and it's probably a lot cheaper for them to maintain than cables, installs, repairs, trees on lines, etc. They don't have that in my area because we're in area with 1-2 bars max. However, now Verizon FIOS is $49 per month and $10 for Apple music family. Thought that was a good deal for now and I'll keep looking for their 5G home internet.For anyone considering this, if you’re in the US Verizon and T-Mobile offer 5G home internet plans.

It would be a persistent connection and all the devices on your local network would have internet access, including items that require a wired connection to the router (like a Hue lighting hub, network TV tuner, etc.). The Mac will have internet access through the phone, but if it needs the local network (printing, for example) then connect to the LAN via wifi.What would be the advantage of doing this over just hot spotting from your phone?

Nice, thanks!
