I am not sure what the problem is.

AFAICT it is the same as ever.

Turn on the hotspot in your iPhone, and select from the Wifi icon right there on the menu bar.

If you don't see the Wifi icon in the menu bar, turn that option on in System Preferences->Network:




The wifi icon will change to two rings when the connection is established.
