This is achieved thanks to the new Files app, which allows an iOS device to interact with files and data directly stored on a device, as well as to access iCloud Drive data.
To use this approach, you must have the Files app on iOS to be able to save and download zip files directly to an iPhone or iPad, as all modern releases do. If your version of iOS does not have the Files app you will need to update it to a newer version that does to use this method.
Older iOS devices without Files app can use an alternative method to open zip files in iOS however, though that approach requires a third party app whereas the Files app is native and does not require any other app downloads to iOS in order to interact with zip archives.
Want to download and save a zip file to an iPhone or iPad? Here is how you can do that directly on your iOS device:. While this allows you to download and save zip files to an iPhone or iPad, unfortunately the iOS Files app and does not include a native unzip or zip function, meaning you will still need to rely on a third party app like WinZip or Zip Viewer to be able to open and extract zip files on an iPhone or iPad. Perhaps one day iOS for the iPad and iPhone will gain native zip archive extraction technology, much like what is available in the highly productive Mac OS environment by default with zip and unzip capabilities on the Mac directly in Finder , but until or if ever that happens, third party tools will be required to perform these common zip archive management activities in the iOS side of things.
Perhaps a future release of iOS will link the two file storage locations in iOS, but for now that is not the case.

Lots of people make that mistake. Zip file management is not about translations or fuss as you describe, you are not translating a file from a zip file, a zip file is an archive containing other files, thus I am not sure of which you discuss Hoagie, but this is about zip files and the download of them from the internet to the iPhone, or even iPad if you like iPad, maybe iPad Pro is pro with zip files.
You tell a great story Hoagie, but did you save any zip files? Personally I find saving and working with zip files to iPhone to be cumbersome, why is there no Archive Utility on the iPhone? Is Hoagie hoping for a translation from zip files to unzipped files? I believe the fuss is about frustration with lacking Archive Utility for iOS edition? That is my best guess. I guess Apple thought the basic support they provide in iOS the preview contents link found when opening a zip within mail or files was enough to start with.
For a 3rd party app, I recommend Goodreader. Not only can it unzip, but it can also create new ZIP archives. I can see why. Cool, we can save zip files to the iPhone now! And iPad too? Very Pro!
