I wish to buy an iPad to watch movies without data or Wifi. Can I add an external hard drive to load on some movies to do this? Do I need anything else to make this work? Which Apple products would work best?
Many thanks for any help provided. Penny
you can connect external HDD to iPad, here is how: https://www.imore.com/how-use-external-hard-drives-your-iphone-or-ipad#:~:text=Connect%20your%20external%20drive%20to,in%20the%20list%20of%20locations.
please note that you you may need Apple's Lightning-to-USB or Lightning-to-USB 3 camera adapters - for this you should check both HDD and iPad connectors, and probably easiest is to ask for assistance in store where you pan to buy disk and ipad.
and. ofc, you'll need a software to play videos on ipad, search in app store, there are at least several variants :-)

You can’t watch movies without WiFi or without any cellular data network free.you can put external hardware but you can’t watch movies free without network but you can watch without network by downloading(you can watch from your iPad also)
Thank you mendiya. I realise I can only watch films that are downloaded to a hard drive (that
I have paid for prior to downloading) but it is more what tech do I need to be able to do this with an iPad. To be completely clear I wish to watch the iPad on a plane with no cellar data or wifi available.
You need only a network
What is needed please?
