So is the files app available for iPad only or will the iPhone get it with the update too? From the keynote it seems it's iPad only, but I can't see a reason why it shouldn't be on an iPhone as well.

If I recall correctly I saw it when he was scrolling through apps on the iPhone during a demo
Has to be on iPhones, because they said it would update on all your devices when you make changes in Files.
Appears it supports both if this listing is correct: https://www.macrumors.com/2017/06/05/ios-11-files-app-placeholder/
I don't get why they didn't just call it "Finder" since that's what it is.
Seeing the Finder icon on my phone would be awesome.

The Files app does come installed on the iPhone when the iOS 11 beta is installed. I saw a youtube stream of a user installing iOS 11 Beta and he actually opened it up and browsed it multiple times.
One step further than that, it seems - there's a spot for local storage on there which is HUUUUUUUUUGE.
Actually it's more like Finder with integrated third party clouds.
Maybe in the redesigned, taller iPhone Pro/Edition/8/whatever?It looks like the iphone doesn't get the new dock either
I think right now it only works with iCloud. I don't see DropBox et al. I didn't expect to see it there, unless it was grabbing something from document picker. That is not the case.
Edit: MS Announces OneDrive support for Files when iOS 11 launches.

There is a new dock , the icons have no labels . Maybe it,s a bug .
