It should totally be possible. On the 2nd iPhone, just turn on airplane mode and then turn on wifi and connect to the hotspot served up by the first iPhone.

Hi Guys!

After much experimenting. I found out that my old iphone 5 can connect the hotspot from my new iPhone 6+. But to do the automatic connection of Personal Hotspot (like my iPad and Macbook Air do with my iPhone 6+) is not successful.

Most probably Personal Hotspot only works for 1 iphone (with iOS 8 and above) to all iOS or Mac devices except another iPhone eventhough I put it in the airplane mode.

Correct me if I am wrong yeah.
