I often do this with my iPhone 11 Pro. It is dumb and works better than having no connection. It is a ridiculous thing to do at a time when watches have LTE modems.

Your experience differs from mine. I try to use it quite a lot and fail. When it does succeed, I watch both batteries.

I have the same phone and the performance never seems any better than when using bluetooth PAN. I mentioned the iPhone 15 Pro, because it will be the first one with more than 480mbps over USB. At 10gbps the wired connection should have enough bandwidth to handle anything even 5g will offer for a while.

I am scheduled to pick up an iPhone 15 Pro today. I will see how well that works and report back.
