Indeed, imagine being able to develop in XCode for iPhone, on an iPhone.

Please god no. Xcode is miserably slow on a 2011 Macbook Air. I don't even want to think about running it on something with a small fraction of that horsepower.
I was replying to the "having the computing power of MacBook Pro on an iPhone" comment.
There's not much stopping Apple from enabling this right now but maybe they see the developer market as a way of generating more Mac sales? Look at the $35 Raspberry Pi - it has a HDMI port and runs Linux, with a fraction of the power of the iPhone 5.
