Add Pocket AI to AI Assistants: on-device LLM chat for iPhone (iOS, closed-source)

The AI Assistants section is currently one entry, and it is a smart-speaker project. Adding a phone option, since "an assistant that does not send my prompts anywhere" seems to be what this list gets asked for most.

Pocket AI runs open-weight models on iPhone through llama.cpp with Metal: Qwen, Llama, DeepSeek, Mistral, Phi, Gemma and SmolLM, 28 in total. No account, no login, no chat server, and it works with no connection at all. Version 3.1 ships no analytics SDK. The one optional in-app purchase is processed by Apple, with RevenueCat seeing an anonymous identifier only. Whisper voice input also runs on-device, and that one is part of the paid unlock.

Being upfront about the trade-offs: it is closed source, it is iOS only, and it needs an iPhone 12 or newer. It is free with one optional $4.99 one-time unlock and no subscription. It currently sits at 2.8 stars from 6 App Store ratings. Two of the three written reviews are against a four-month-old version, but I am not going to dress that number up.

Disclosure: I am the developer. Reword or remove freely, and I am happy to send this as a PR instead if you prefer that.
