Any purpose, including basic web surfing. The connection will cut off or drop completely without any reason. Erasing all data and setting doesn’t fix the problem. So I give up.

Where are you when this problem occurs?

I've had no issues with using a personal hotspot wherever my phone works, nor have I seen any widespread complaints.

I’m not sure what it was about this post that ruffled feathers. You did know you could sync your phone to iTunes over WiFi right? Check the box and it will be so.

Minutes are very important to some people, I guess.

I get it if people are making tens of GB transfers daily, I suppose.

I tried, and they found nothing wrong. Exchanged my iPhone once, no luck. Personal hotspot is irrelevant to home wifi quality. So I will stick to wired connection for now.

You're running your laptop with a wired connection on your home WiFi because of poor signal quality at your place?
 
There is a lot of confusion about the speed and capability of cables, ports, hubs, connectors, etc, for several reasons.
The first is that the speed of any connection is no faster than the slowest link in the chain. So if you have a USB to Ethernet adapter, you won't get ethernet speeds, the fastest it will go is USB.
If you have a fast external drive connected via USB, you're still limited by the speed of the USB cable and the USB ports.
If you have say a USB 3, 7-port HUB connected to a USB 1 port on the computer using a USB 2 rated cable, you'll never get more than USB 1 speeds, and further more, each of the ports on the hub share the weak link of the USB 1 port on the computer, so if each of the 7 ports on the hub are connected and active, you won't get more than USB 1 speed divided by 7 at each of the 7 ports on the hub.
You have to consider the rated speed of each of the ports, cables, hubs, etc in the connection chain. There might even be cases where a USB 3 port on a computer might be connected to a USB 2 bus internal to the computer.
Another confusion is the shape of the connector. There is a difference between the shape of the connector and the protocol of the signal going through the connector and sometimes the same name is used for both.
Yet another is that some cables are for charging a device and don't include components to carry the signal as well. You'll see a lot of Thunderbolt cables for sale at a price point around $10-$15. Those are mostly for charging only, they don't have the extra wiring for the signal. You have to pay about twice that for one that carries the signal as well.
It may be that what I've written isn't as precise as it should be, but the bottom line here is that you have to consider every link in the connection chain.
Hope this helps.

iPhone 11 USB 3 is not possible. Same with 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max.

I tested it and it transfers data from the PC only with USB 2.0.

One of the reasons why I can't recommend an iPhone 11 Pro Max with 512 GB storage. When users transfer locally with large data and a lot of data from the PC. or regularly create large local backups.

It takes 4x or 5x longer than with my old Samsung Galaxy S8.
I have a 512 GB 11 Pro Max, it's not like it takes that long to load data onto the phone. It's not like you are trying to load 512 GB at once every time.

This problem happened to me for quite a while now regardless of where I live.

My house broadband quality is very poor and not suitable for gaming, so I need mobile data from another company to get better network performance, also acts as a nice little backup connection.

Aight. Sounds like a pretty big outlier.
