I love creating! It started with Lego as a little kid. Later I went on with (dis)assembling my first computer in the early 2000s. Then came the internet... Working remotely for 8 years :-)
I doubt that you will have great ideas for specific lines of code on the go. If I have a really cool idea (code related) on the go, then that is always just a concept or an idea, never specific lines of code --which I record as an audio message or I write a message to myself.
Is this an "it sounds great in my imagination" idea, or do you have actual data that shows, that people would actually use coding on a phone?
I remember having a code editor and even an SSH client on my phone years ago --I never (!) used it for real.
I get your point and don't see real, complex coding on an iphone. I give you that. But 2 points: First it has a value for many developers to have at least access to their full code on a phone and there is room for improvement from the code editor you have had years ago. Secondly a tablet is also a mobile device and it can be very convenient for 'remote' coding. Speaking about mobile devices we should not focus on phones first, don't you think?

We optimize for tablet's, laptops etc. first - BUT we also love to review, double check, and minifix things on the go. Why not :)
Personally, especially with these foldable phones and 5G, I dream of this already for a long time :D

I admit, coding on a tablet sounds interesting. My phone would be too small for me, to even see enough though.
