- A general purpose hardware with specific less general purpose hardware extensions.
Where they differ:
- By default allowing "mostly" any legal kind of software, but then putting absurd constraints on it.
- By default only allowing games and some multimedia and maybe then putting absurd constraints on it (maybe because idk tbh).
I.e. even with apples constraints iOs operates as a general purpose platform while XBox/PS5/Switch do not.
