External storage for offloading photos and videos from iPhone

What device is recommended for offloading photos and videos from an iPhone 12 to external storage? Having an iPhone with 64GB will require storage management and I am hoping someone here has a device vetted for this purpose.

You’re right, the article does not address exporting photos to a storage device from an iPhone. I believe you’ll need a PC or Mac to accomplish that.

Thank you for your reply. I have previously reviewed this article it does not address what I wish to do and that is export photos and videos to the external storage device. So far all I can see is that a third party APP is required to accomplish this On my old phone I was using a Lexar Lightning Jump Drive and their APP to accomplish this.

I can also connect the phone in Windows 10 and delete and download photos and videos using Windows Explorer since I have an Intel MAC this is pretty convieant but I also want to be able to do the same with an external storage device directly or indirectly through WiFi or BT if possible as well.
