You can use a wifi interface in station bridge mode to connect to the iPhone ap.

While true you can connect via iPhone Wi-Fi, but OP is connected via USB.

You’ll have to file a feature request. While iPhone will show up as USB, iPhone does not support MBIM protocol that Mikrotik uses.

On Linux, it takes extra drivers, since some Apple-specific code is need to setup the data session. Without drivers, RouterOS will NOT be able to connect to iPhone for data… even if it shows up as generic USB device.

ArchLinux documents the libaries/userland stuff, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IPhone_tethering & Mikrotik has none of those.

lte - added USB tethering support using iOS devices on 7.22

finally

What version ? :eyes:
