iOS / iPadOS 17 👉 Blink 17
Fixes for the new OS, general improvements, and tons of thanks to all testers for their help! https://github.com/blinksh/blink/discussions/1850

Apple debuts iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
You can already do that with an iPad (sans fat OS). If you're using Blink Shell (https://blink.sh) the external display is independent of what's on the iPad too, which works really neatly. This is the exact setup I used as my main dev machine in a previous role.
Would be very nice to see if this works on the new iPhones. A thin client with decent security in your pocket with keyboard/mouse/display at both home and work seems like a very approachable computing setup.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
I use blink[0] with a 40% keyboard to develop linux program on a vps.
If you want to do programming without wireless interenet, another option is to connect a raspberry pi zero 2w (with usb gadget mode enabled) to the usb c port using a single usb cable. Then the rpi zero will share a ethernet network with iOS device. Then you can use blink (again) to mosh to raspberrypi.local to do the development on the pi.
The reason that I don't do it on android with termux is that there's no high quality terminal emulator like blink on android.

Buying an iPad Pro for coding was a mistake
There's also Blink [1] which includes a local shell (limited), ssh and mosh support, and comes with a local-first, but remote-dependent, vscode implementation. Works with vscode.dev, code-server (the coder.com and microsoft version), coder.com etc. Not free but a free TestFlight versions available if you accept to be a beta tester of sorts.
I've had moderate success using it, but overall the code-server experience has been a bit lacking, in part due to languages I use, in part due to lots of software still assuming a local-first development environment (code-server/coder.com help with this by e.g. proxying http ports in your dev environment). A real IDE/code editor running on a MacBook is still way superior.

Prompt2, heads up; they are readying up another version Prompt2 has been abandoned by devs since iOS 14 / 1y ago in a crashing state - Now they want to make another money-heist cash-grab from its users by forcing them to upgrade one of the most expensive apps of all time.
If you're okay with a subscription model for a terminal type shell, I would recommend Blink. Does everything Prompt did and more. They have a 1-week trial, and then you can subscribe for $20 a year.

Github code no longer updated?
I also opened https://github.com/blinksh/blink/issues/1777 so from now on everyone is able to see the commit reference that was used for the build.

Ed25519-sk on iOS
I took a wild stab at finding a non-subscription iOS app that supports Ed25519-sk, but ended up just moving back to ephemeral per-device ed25519 keys instead. Both Blink.sh and Terminus purport to support -sk / HW passkeys behind subscription paywalls, but I can't verify as I don't pay for subscription model apps.

iOS tools for self hosting
Big fan of Blink, makes it super easy to quickly ssh into a remote machine

Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
SSH or mosh (via https://blink.sh/) back to a cloud/remote NixOS VM. The iPad is purely a self-contained interface with a local browser.
