Can I tether iPhone 13 pro to iPad air to get 5g connection on the iPad air?

Hi there! For you to do this, you would need to set up your phone as a wireless hotspot. This will allow you to have your phone as an access point for any Wi-Fi capable devices to connect to the internet. If you phone supports 5G and is in range of a 5G network, that's what it will use for hotspot connections. Otherwise it will drop down to a 4G or 3G network as needed.

As a heads up, hotspots will use mobile data and can reduce your battery life on your phone. It is recommended to plug in your phone when you use this feature.

How do I use my iPhone as a Mobile Hotspot?

Thanks Nachi, but will the iPad connection be in 5G?

The iPads connection will be WiFi, to the iPhone which is serving as the gateway. The iPhone will be providing it data access to the internet over 5G data if that connection is available to the iPhone.
