Don’t these airplane steaming services have a local copy of all the movies on some storage device inside the plane?
I wonder how crazy it would be to cache the iOS app… like maybe they run a caching transparent proxy on the plane… or some crazy relationship with a CDN that treats each plane as an edge node.
I dunno, it would probably be pretty be way to expensive to set up something like that to be worthwhile.

A Mac mini connected to the in-plane wifi would likely do the trick. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/what-is-content-caching-on-mac-mchl9388ba1b/mac https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/what-is-content-cac... https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204675 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204675
