With mobile phones getting more powerful in processing power,more RAM,internal memory,would it be possible to mine any crypto with mobile phone?Can any Altcoin still be mined with Android or IOS mobile phones?

Its been answered many times before... No.

Mining with phone oh nice idea I am also waiting for that moment to earn on mobile phone while I am in facebook,twitter,instagram,when I play games downloaded from app store.I am hoping that mining with mobile tehnology will come really soon so we can do that type of job.

you can do that, you just need a phone with a 150W GPU inside that produces 4+ TFlops

the average phone would probably last about 3sec with this kind of load and looking at the size of the "phone" its probably no phone anymore

sarcasm aside, current gen high end phones will produce hash, but at the price of the phone its not worth an investment, performance is obviously worse than desktop cpu mining even when utilizing the mgpu

You'll get some hashrate out of it in the kilohashes, but you'll also get  amounts of heat that will, over time, kill your phone. It can be done but it's not recommended and will do damage to your phone if a phone is left to mine. You won't make anything and all you'll get is an overheating phone.

Mining is simple; your earnings are based on how much you invest.

Which is partly why CPU and mobile mining is literally a waste of time. And on top of that, CPUs (especially laptop CPUs and even GPUs) and mobile hardware are not designed to be stressed 0-24h so they will die relatively quickly.
