USB-Tethering testing

Would appreciate if someone could offer more information on this. My understanding, as per the March 12 post here: iPhone as a USB LTE modem on Mikrotik - #10 by umyz is that tethering "just works". No special tweaks or configurations required. The forum thread we are in now suggests that on April 27th not yet working for all iPhones. AFAIK there's no Microtik documentation on this feature. So I don't know what it means when iPhone pairs with HAP ac2 but doesn't get an IP address? Is it a routeros bug, requires further work? Is the HAP ac2 incapable? Is no IP a common failure mode or unusual? This is a call for someone with experience.... Thanks!
