Wow, that’s an interesting (and unique) use case.

Out of curiosity, what client app do you use to actually view the snapshot on the iPhone?

The app itself is also called Kiwix: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kiwix/id997079563

The latest full snapshot (including low res images) is here and clocks in around 102gb: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/kiwix/zim/wikipedia/wikipedia_en...

I live on an RV and end up working off of solar power far from cell service, so when I run out of power for Starlink there's no internet and Kiwix is super handy for relevant reading material.
