All iPads Weird question if you have a iPhone 12 or higher and tether on a iPad does that mean your iPad gets 5G tethering speed or no ?

I only had up to a iPhone 11.

Just tried it in my house - M1 12.9 iPad tethered to 12 Pro Max phone, T-Mobile 5G (not as good in my house as elsewhere around here due to shadowing of antenna coverage). Used Speedtest app.

iPhone: 275mbps down, 6.35 mbps up

iPad: 280mbps down, 4.03mbps up

So I guess so. Interesting.

Thank you.

That's expected even Wifi 5 has more bandwidth than what you generally get with 5G (the actual speed of wifi 5 is around 500-550 mbps up and down. Wifi 6 is around 800-850 base on my tests)

M1 12.9 iPad tethered to 12 Pro Max phone, T-Mobile 5G

A few years ago while tethering on T-Mobile I was getting rather slow speeds on the tethered device. Called them and at the time they limited tethering speeds beyond a certain data limit. They upped the limit and the restriction went away.

Edited to clarify: throttling occurred after passing a data limit

Reckon this depends on the carrier’s network congestion.

Parts of Los Angeles, I get worse speed/latency on AT&T tethered versus direct connection on iPad.

I'm definitely not running into this.

I poorly worded my post. Throttling occurred after passing a (5 GB?) data limit.
