iPhones and iPads are not often thought of as useful for data analytics. However, they can be so because some apps are available that simply act as a client under which the data remains on the cloud and the analysis takes place there too. Analyzing data on the cloud is the way of the future, since the idea for downloading is not feasible for much big data and users would have to resort to samples if downloading is used.
Data analytics apps range from simple analysis tools like Google Analytics to WolframAlpha, Statistics Visualizers and Roambi and even some analytics programming languages like Scala and Python. Those who are interested can spend hours experimenting with these tools while learning at the same time. Most are free from the Apple App Store. Some work in conjunction with Siri, thus enabling some StarTrek-like analysis.
For a brief rundown on 10 of these apps, check out this page.
