   How to easily archive your iOS device and/or how to use your iOS device as a   
   free USB stick (read & write)?   
   o The goal is to store nothing on purpose, ever, on the net (including the   
   cloud).   
   o And, in essence, the goal is to use the iOS iPad as a "smart USB stick".   
      
   Now that I have a phablet phone with a large screen & long life...   
   o I mainly use the iOS 11.x iPad as a smart 128GB USB stick for movies.   
   o And, as a videotaping platform for capturing technology lectures.   
      
   Hence...   
   1. I often slide feature length movies to the iPad over USB   
   2. In addition, I directly video technology lectures on the iPad   
   3. And, of course, I snap lecture whiteboard photos on the iPad   
      
   All are stored on the iPad only until I need space for more.   
   o Then I simply slide all captured files to Windows over USB   
      
   Where the iPad mainly serves two fundamental functions:   
   a. The iPad is a smart USB stick that can spap pictures & record videos   
   b. The iPad is a smart USB stick that can play feature-length movies   
      
   When full, I delete the feature length movies.   
   o And I slide the videos & pictures to any Windows/Linux desktop I want.   
   o Or, I slide the files onto any USB stick I want   
   o Or, (rarely), I burn the files to DVD (e.g., movies or songs).   
      
   Using any desktop on the planet (usually dual boot though),   
   and, of course, without ever installing the iTunes' abomination   
   (which merely limits what you can do).
