Chat Secure is a free and open source XMPP app for iOS. It features both OMEMO and OTR encryption. It allows in-band registration to public XMPP servers (including via Tor). It provides TLS certificate pinning and SQLCipher to locally encrypt conversation logs.

WARNING: Apple's App store and iOS are non-free. To better protect your security and privacy, you should consider using another OS.
