Q: iOS 9 - no USB hotspot anymore ...
I do not get it. How can someone (Tim Cook) and some company (Apple) fail so miserably. I had so many issues with the public iOS 9 beta that I better do not write a full bug report. I thought the GM or the final version woud be better. No way. Next bug:
My iPhone 6 running iOS9 will not connect via USB as a hotspot to my MBP with OS 10.10.5. Sure, I can switch on WiFi and connect wirelessly. But the nice part about the personal hotspot was the possiblity to disable WiFi on both devices and to share a 3G/LTE connection via USB directly.
No more...
Anyone experiencing the same issues ? (Not to metion the dozens of other issues these iOS and iTunes updates brought us?)
I am sorry Steve, people that took over from you just don't understand customer satisfaction.
