I'm looking to dive into programming but don't have access to a PC or laptop right now. I want to create something for iOS, but I'm unsure what tools I can use. Can anyone recommend some programming engines or environments that work well on mobile?

It really depends on the programming language you're interested in. For higher-level languages like Python, JavaScript, or Java, you can find online 'sandboxes.' Just search for your language plus 'sandbox.' You'll often find some great coding editors with console access, which can help you learn the basics.
Have you considered using Flutter? It's a great tool for mobile development and allows for a lot of flexibility, even on iOS!
If you're able to get a keyboard and mouse, consider signing up for cloud services like AWS or Azure. They offer remote development environments that can be accessed from your mobile device!
For programming on the go, try using iSH (also known as ish), which allows you to install compilers for Python, C, or Fortran. I've only made command-line apps with it, but it might be worth exploring!
Check out online development environments! They let you code straight from your browser, just need a keyboard and mouse to get going. For example, you can try using Python in a Jupyter notebook, which you can find for free or super cheap. Also, there's something called "repl" for various languages like Go. Give it a shot!
What do you mean by 'programming engine'? Are you referring to a specific development environment?
By programming engine, I meant something that lets me code easily, like a compiler with tools included.
