I discovered that the "iSH shell" is available for the iPhone/iPad from the Applications app. this is Alpine linux Once iSH is loaded from the App store, then open it to a shell and download
apk add emacs apk add R emacs works well for writing files and sending them to a bigger computer by airdrop or email etc. This is the real Emacs, not the "Not Emacs" app. The emacs uses a variant of the iPhone keyboard augmented with tab, control, escape, arrows keys and allows swiping for typing. R works sometimes in the linux shell outside emacs, but not yet from the emacs *shell*. I haven't figures out how to download ESS. iSH's help page for R https://github.com/ish-app/ish/wiki/Installing-R-and-any-package-from-the-CRAN gives a long docker-related way of getting arbitrary packages to work. Is there interest in forming R-sig-iOS and CRAN support for an iOS binary repository?
