Truly, the difficulty of getting your Agenda on the phone is one of the great frustrations of Org. I have an Android phone, and while it's useful for some things (making phone calls, wechat), its utility would easily be doubled by having my Org information on the phone.
I think the problem arises because most Org hackers are Emacs hackers, but writing apps is a totally different domain. I went at it once, full of beans, and was defeated by Java, and the general app ecosystem.
Each uptick in my emacs lisp ability has had an immediate effect across my entire computing environment, and that has made learning lisp a practical endeavor, despite my not really being a programmer. Learning to write Android apps... I'm going to need that once, perhaps twice, and it's not worth it.
I used to use https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav to export my agenda to owncloud, which at least gave me a low-effort read-only calendar of my agenda, but with recent versions of orgmode they changed the whole export engine which made my configuration not work (and I haven't had the energy to try again).
Yes, if you jailbreak your iPhone, install openssh, SSH to localhost and start your specially compiled emacs for arm binary. A bluetooth keyboard is recommended. If it's just about viewing you could export to html, or export to a file that another Outliner app can easily import.
The same method of operation (native emacs) on Android is much more convenient, by using a Linux chroot (Linux Deploy). Android users also have it much more easy in the org compatible App department, they can use Orgzly!
I'll go ahead and admit it: I still use an N900 just because of org-mode. I can't really recommend it to anyone else as it's not going to meet expectations of a modern smartphone, but I love it. That and git syncing with my desktop make it really effective for me.
