iOS doesn't allow for native code execution (or JIT compilers) in apps like Android does (they don't like anything that could be used for sideloading) so the termux equivalents are ridiculously slow. I tried using ffmpeg on someone's ipad one time and it went so slow (about 100 times slower) that I ended up launching a web server, downloading the file to my phone and running ffmpeg there and then transferring it back.
