50/50 for me
I did this all on an iPhone with koala and cubasis 3. I use mine a lot out of necessity cos my iPad is so old and can’t handle a lot

Yeah for sure! I end up using my phone pretty often. I do have an 11 so there’s a decent amount of screen space but it can still be frustrating.
Koala works great with the phone, I honestly never have an issue with it on the phone cos it has that whole pocket operator vibe to it. Drambo also is very well made for universal, I even prefer it in portrait mode on my phone cos it’s designed so well that way. Cubasis is a bit of a pain to use but I usually manage. I’ll use Toneboosters apps a lot for mastering cos they’re universal and the DDMF apps as well. DDMF apps are fine on the phone but Toneboosters can feel a bit crammed on the smaller screen. If I’m having trouble dialing in what I need with cubasis or Toneboosters, I’ll plug in a mouse so I can get more precise with what I want.
I will usually use a couple midi controllers as well when using the phone cos I can barely make anything worthwhile using the phone to play. Drambo and Koala are the easiest for it but not if I want something nice and full with chords and expression. I can get a bass line down but usually just play what I want on the launchpad or program it in a piano roll with the mouse.
I do miss a lot of the apps on iPad but usually find a universal equivalent if I can. There are plenty of synths and romplers to use and high quality effects. I’d love to have fabfilter but use Toneboosters and for like SWAM stuff, I use GeoShred. GeoShred actually is another one that plays pretty well on the phone.
Ultimately, I would still prefer the iPad but out of necessity, I adapted to the iPhone and have definitely gotten used to it. It’s not perfect but peripherals help a lot and with stuff like Drambo and koala, it makes me even more mobile cos I can flesh out an idea real quick if I’m out and about and a tune pops in my head.

I started doing this on only an iPhone, many years ago before I ever got an iPad. Some apps are definitely better then others on an iPhone. When I used an iPhone only to make music, I probably used Gadget and audiobus 2, then AB3 the most. Also Other apps like Figure, GarageBand, imaschine 2, as well.
