  • Apple has acknowledged issue in iOS 13, iPadOS 13's Personal Hotspot
  • There is likely to be a fix in a future software update
  • Apple says that the issue is not hardware-related

It is unclear if the issue has been resolved in iOS 13.4 by Apple

Apple has internally acknowledged and informed Authorized Service Providers of an issue in iOS 13 and iPadOS 13's Personal Hotspot, which may lead users to bring their iPhones and iPads in for repair due to connection failures. As a temporary workaround, service providers have been instructed to toggle Personal Hotspot off, and then back on.

This suggests that there is likely to be a fix in a future software update, but it is unclear if the issue has been resolved in iOS 13.4, and the latest GM release notes do not mention any Personal Hotspot fixes, MacRumors reported on Sunday.
