Tethering internet from IPhone to iPad via USB (alien.top)

Hi, Does anyone tried to tether internet from IPhone to iPad via usb adapter? I heard about you can connect iPhone (lightning->USB-A cable) to iPad(lightning->USB-A camera adapter). I saw even photos on internet and articles saying it works but they a bit old. So I wonder could someone say it still possibly works? I got IPad with broken WiFi/Bluetooth so I can’t use classic hotspot.

I know it’s not exactly what you asked but I tether from an iPhone (12 mini) to a (Linux mint) laptop. Lightning to usb. The thing is it only works with Apple or Anker cables - I’ve tried with cheaper unbranded cables and they only allow me to charge the handset. No data capabilities.
