Both work with other devices. Likely an incompatibility between iPhones new wpa3 security and older iOS devices that don’t support that. iPad works with hotspot from iPhone XS. iPhone 4s won’t connect to iPhone 13 mini personal hotspot. Androids iMac windows that don’t support wpa3 are all able to connect to iPhone 13 mini hotspot.
iPhone 13 Mini
Iphone 13.
Settings, Personal Hotspot, is "Maximise Compatibility" turned on?
That turns on the old standard Wi-fi protocol
Do you have any VPN running on the ones that will not connect?
Thank you for your attention on this- I did start there. It doesn't work. I believe there is an incompatibility between the WPA3 of the iPhone 13 mini and the older iOS devices in their negotiation. Can likely be fixed with a software update to either or both.
I will refer you to the official support article.
Tried maximize compatibility and it doesn’t solve the issue.
No VPN running on either.
iPad 4 cannot connect to iPhone 13 mini personal hotspot
