Let iPhone connect to the Internet? iOS 10.2 hidden function exposed
OS has always been able to adapt to Ethernet connections, but until now iOS has lacked any user interface related to Ethernet connections. However, in iOS 10.2, Apple has added a configurable Ethernet section to the Settings app. When a user connects a compatible Ethernet adapter to an iOS device via the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, a new "Ethernet" settings screen will appear in Settings, located below the Wi-Fi section. According to developer Steve Troughton-Smith, the addition of the Ethernet interface will undoubtedly be welcomed by users, especially those who frequently use similar interfaces to connect to iOS devices. The developer tested it on an iPhone 7 Plus running iOS 10.3 Beta 4. After connecting the USB Ethernet adapter to the iPhone via the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, the Ethernet settings will automatically appear soon. As shown in the screenshot below, the Ethernet section is located between the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth sections. Clicking Ethernet will enter the relevant interface, and clicking it again will enter the interface showing the connection details. After testing, the developer found that devices running iOS 10.2 or above can display the Ethernet settings page after using the relevant accessories. To get your iOS device online via Ethernet, you should be able to use one of the many Ethernet adapters available, but you may need to combine it with a powered hub to provide it with enough power. It should be noted that you will also need some way to connect the USB cable to your iOS device, like the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter mentioned earlier.
