iSH is a shell for iOS, it has all the common shell tools and you can ssh into it.

A shell is not useful on a touch screen device.

iOS comes with a text editor built in. Memo.

Ssh server doesn't make sense for an iPhone. How would that even work? It wouldn't be able to do anything or be a worse experience than something properly designed for the user rather than trying to force a 50 year old computing model onto a phone.

I’m very upset that iOS doesn’t support using a phone as a jump box.

You say this matter of factly and yet I've seen countless people talk about using termux more than a desktop shell.

Maybe iPhone is different but most phones you can connect a keyboard to, making the shell pretty usable. Not my cup of tea but I have tried it. I'm still holding out on the dream that a good Linux phone might exist one day.

A shell is perfectly useful on a touchscreen device.

What? Do you think command lines are based on the lambda calculus or something?

Lambda calculus was more like 90 years ago

I’ve heard this but it doesn’t make much sense to me. People see the shit software, and they think “Apple software is shit.” I don’t think they think “This software is only shit because I’m on Windows, I better switch to Mac and run (basically) the same software there.”

It’s actually not speculation, they have testified in court, under oath, that they had a whole developer team just to fuck up the user experience.
