Apparently one must activate iPhone's personal hotspot first, then plug in the FreeBSD machine. The ipheth(4) driver should create a "ue0" network interface.

After activating the personal hotspot and plugging in the iPhones USB cable into the machine, execute dmesg(8), see if there is a "ue0" interface at end of page (alternatively change to system console: Alt + F1).

In this case try kldload if_ipheth, watch dmesg.

If there is still no "ue0" what messages does dmesg trigger when the iphone is plugged in?

No need to install, the driver comes in base ( /boot/kernel/if_ipheth.ko )
 
Dear T-Daemon :
1. yes, the iphone 8 personal hotspot was activated.
2. fellow your step, kldload if_ipheth . dmesg show below line
ugen1.3: <Apple Inc. iPhone> at usbus1
and if_ipheth.ko , uether.ko load to kernel.

plug out iphone8 , plug in iphone8
ugen1.3: <Apple Inc. iPhone> at usbus1 (disconnected)
ugen1.3: <Apple Inc. iPhone> at usbus1
ugen1.3: <Apple Inc. iPhone> at usbus1 (disconnected)
ugen1.3: <Apple Inc. iPhone> at usbus1

i use an lte/4g modem to connect to the net. i would also connect using my android mobile. both work. i put this in my /etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_ue0="SYNCDHCP"
 
i found out the latest port of usbmuxd does not work but i have an older one that does. i did not investigate why yet
it runs but cant get an ip both on 13.5 and 14.1

here is an older version along with shared libs it needs
if you trust it unpack it in some dir and
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/that/dir
/that/dir/usbmuxd -f
