The mPower cannot act as a braille display for iOS, only for computers (Mac or, with the right screen reader, PC).
You must have tethering enabled on the iPhone, which is something you talk to AT&T or Verizon about. On Verizon at least, you can get 3gb of data access for $30 per month for use on the iPhone, but you must pay extra for the ability to tether (let other devices use your iPhone as a wifi hotspot). Once enabled, I think you can put five devices online at once through the iPhone by connecting them just like you would connect them to any other router. Hope this makes sense.
