            What? The components are the same and work exactly the same way, maybe on just less power and different thermal configurations on laptops. Meanwhile phones use a different CPU architecture (at least, I don’t know the specifics of the rest), and a completely different OS structure. Meanwhile laptops use the exact same operating systems as desktops.

            The same software will work the same in a desktop vs a PC, but that is not the case between a pc and a phone. It could in principle, because they are capable of the same things, but in practice it needs a rewrite, and so a lot of software doesn’t exist on phones.

              Apple’s putting its own chips - the same chips - in both its MacBook and iPad product lines. Their iOS also shares significant architecture with macOS, and is basically a derivative thereof.

              Meanwhile, my tablet is running Windows 10 on its Intel i7 CPU.
