Those saying it's said backwards clearly aren't self-hosters!

iPhone hardware wise is like an amazing alternative to rpi (way better hardware)

But the software makes no sense at all for a server, with screen locking due to inactivity and whatnot, not to mention energy and network priority is designed around a consumer use case on the move.

If you run Linux on it and take advantage from the Apple hardware like the light sensors and accelerometer - maybe it makes sense for measuring wave height, sky color, attached to a buoy or oil rig or something, you can even show it on a map due to its GPS. Assuming the oil rig has WiFi or a cell phone booster.

Idk though, maybe for something that important you just get the right stuff - cool hobby nonetheless.
