I don't understand why people don't just tether to their phones. It just works, and you don't pay any extra for another device on your account. Biggest downside

I don't understand why people don't just tether to their phones. It just works, and you don't pay any extra for another device on your account. Biggest downside I can see would be draining your phone's battery a bit.
- kartickv 9y agoI did that once, and I wished that I could plug my phone in to my iPad to charge it. That didn't work because the iPad uses Apple's proprietary Lightning connector rather than the standard USB-C. If my iPad had USB-C, I could have plugged my Google Pixel into it with the USB-C to USB-C cable Google gave me. This is another limitation of the iPad — like a computer, but with arbitrary limitations like non-standard ports.
