 Tired: buying an iPhone or iPad with maxed-out internal SSD.

Wired: buying an iPhone or iPad then also buying a pocket USB-C hub that has a slot for you to plug in a third-party M.2 NVMe SSD of your choice to stash your movie library on. (Because the Files app on iOS is happy to talk to an external SSD.)

 @0c1a9324 Now they're using USB C, you might be able to plug the whole thing into a hotel room telly and watch it there due to the magic of USB Alt Mode!

If you would cost your net wider than just Apple products, you'll find plenty of solutions to this problem. I personally don't understand people who insist on being walled in.

 @0c1a9324 any pointers to a decent one? Because damn, searching for Not Shit® USB-C things is deeply spirit sapping.
