A pwa doesn't need an Internet connection. That's part of the definition of the term. Are you confusing the term with SPA?

> A web application is considered a PWA if it satisfies the installation criteria, thus can work offline and can be added to the device's home screen

Then this should not be called "PWA"?

When putting the iPhone in Flight Mode and deactivating WiFi, this site won’t load after it got added to the home screen.

Thank you for pointing that out. Just fixed, it should now be available to use offline
iPhone PWA are notoriously broken, they have to use the safari API and as far as I know are basically impossible to get working.
They’re not broken, this one is.
Oh… he’s right.
