The hotspot issue is my absolute pet peeve. It is so bad for me that I just had to accept that I have two options for hotspotting:

1. Go to settings and change my phones name then connect. Every. Damn. Time.

2. Use a cable and hope the MacBook Pro picks it up.

Honestly the quality of iPhones has deteriorated to a point where my next phone will just be something like an oppo or xiomi. I’m done paying £500+ for a phone that doesn’t do what it’s meant to while forcing a load of crap I don’t want down my neck

The hotspot errors drive me insane. You’re basically connecting two device from the same company that happens to make both software and hardware on those two devices. I can’t understand this.
