Question to everyone: Are there any particular apps/programs, you would want to sideload?

Virtualization so I can run Linux

Ooooh that's gonna be super useful for pentesting.

Also, if the required APIs are available for USB host mode shenanigans, I've always wanted an app that can emulate a USB stick given an ISO. I'd start the app, select the ISO, and connect to a PC and boot from the ISO. The app could also keep the ISOs of specific operating systems up to date, and also allow me to add custom ISOs and even regular writable filesystem images.

Not to mention BadUSB scripts.

If an iPhone could do that, that would be AMAZING!
