Storage copy says "this iPad" on iPhone #53

Description

@kipp-ing

Spotted while reading the iOS 27 failure frames for #50 (FramePhone, iPhone 13 mini, 27.0).

Symptom

The Storage section footer reads:

Photos you have viewed are kept on this iPad so the slideshow keeps playing when the
network is down.

…while running on an iPhone.

Where

  • OwnFrame/Slideshow/SlideshowSettingsView.swift:412
  • OwnFrame/Localizable.xcstrings:1589 (the string is already in the catalogue, so the fix has
    to go through the catalogue too — and the German translation carries the same assumption)

Notes

The app is iPad-first, but iPhone is supported and the tvOS target shares this settings surface,
where "this iPad" would be wrong twice over. Worth checking the catalogue for sibling strings
that hard-code a device name rather than fixing this one line in isolation.

Fix sketch

Device-neutral wording ("kept on this device") avoids a per-platform string and a second
translation. If per-device wording is wanted instead, it needs an idiom switch plus tvOS/iPhone
variants in the catalogue — more surface for the same benefit.

Cosmetic, not release-blocking.
