Education apps for iphone


My natural position is curled up in bed with my phone. Im looking for something productive to do with this time. Are there any serious education apps for the iphone? Im looking for something heavier than things like brilliant, mimo, etc. Is my best option just an ebook?

Get an iPad, and load up Carnets (Jupyter Notebooks), a-Shell and/or iSH, which are linux environments, or maybe PocketCAS (not sure why I chose that from the CAS apps)

For reading books and papers, pdf is natively supported in the files app.

Epub books are supported in Apple Books, formerly iBooks, but I 100% prefer to manage my books as regular files, just like on the mac. You can get Epub readers for iPad, for this purpose. Or, just use Calibre on a desktop to convert Epubs to pdf.
