Laying the connection does take quite a bit of work: the Internet signal is taken from the iPhone to your router via the iPhone connection port, which is converted to a USB port, which in turn is connected to an ethernet cable. The trick was initially tested with an iPad, but according to the German iPhone ticker in the same way an iPhone can connect to the Internet.

1. Connect a Lightning-to-USB camera adapter to your iDevice.
2. Connect the other end of the adapter, a USB cable.
3. Plug this USB cable into a USB hub.
