Most newer (or at least new + expensive) phones can share their wifi connection via hotspot. 2.4gh only though I think.

    Do you know what’s the technical term to search if a phone has that capability? Asking for an iPhone

    Not only new and expensive, my 5 year old budget phone could do it (a vivo).

Yes, it has actually worked starting with the Pixel 3.

It's called Dual-Band Simultaneous or "STA+AP" (Station + Access Point) concurrency that can bridge an existing wifi connection to an access point to other devices via a hotspot.

Yes it works. Now you can also tether via USB. Both of them have worked flawlessly for me recently.

It seems to be only on certain devices feature(?): on my Pixel it worked, Samsung phone just says "sorry, can't do that".
