One of my biggest gripes with using old iPhones and iPads as offline media devices is that Apple is extremely stingy with storage space so most likely these old phones only have 16/32GB of storage, making them a pain in the ass to curate a media library in them.

If only they had expandable storage. But they don't even support mounting SD cards directly from an external adapter, you have to import the media in bulk, making them useless.

If you're like me and use old phones at home while on Wi-Fi, you could have a media app that streams content from a NAS on your LAN.
