Nothing that apple has that I have found lets you share a wifi connection as a hotspot. I have 3 other ear buds that beat the crap out of the apple airpods. That was a waste of money to get those. They are incredibly uncomfortable and have terrible audio compared to their competitors, for instance Amazon earbuds, my workout go to, or Anker liberty sound core 2, among others. So I am device agnostic and laugh at people (to my self) who are all in on one or the other.
The sharing of Wifi is one thing that I'd forgotten about since my move from Android to iOS. I used that a lot in those hotels that limit you to a certain number of devices. Having hardly stayed in a hotel for the last 18 months...

Regarding the AirPods - I've got the AirPods Pro. I've tried all sorts of earbuds - and I find these to be the best for my ears (I'm not an audiophile - but they sound good to me). The only ones that seemed better were the B&O BeoPlay... until I actually moved from my desk. They then cut out every 30 seconds so they were returned for a refund (it seems to be a common issue with Beoplay's).
