Why not? An iPhone 13 has a similar single core score to all of the M1 processors and a similar multi core score to a MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2020) with an Intel Core i7-1068NG7 @ 2.3 GHz (4 cores). However, iPhones only have 4GB or 6GB of RAM which may be limiting.

Because the SoC is not the only component of a computer and neither is one benchmark score. Other components are the power system, (lack of) cooling, flash storage…

  So an M1 MacBook air basically?

    “Basically” is doing a lot of work there. Those two things don’t have the same parts in them, just the same kinds of parts. It’s not a categorical point but current iPhones don’t even have real external display support.

      iPhones have had external display support for a _long_ time. Does it require an adapter? Sure. The USB-C only MacBooks and iPads do too, unless you have a USB-C display. It’s entirely possible to display different content on the internal display and external display. That’s an app specific feature in iOS, but not a hardware limitation. Have you seen a current iMac motherboard? Nearly all of the I/O is on a breakout board with a thunderbolt controller. Does an iPhone expose PCI-E lanes for interconnect? No, of course not, but there were desktops long before PCI-E and as others have mentioned, the first USB-C MacBook had exactly the same number of external ports as the iPhone.

        > iPhones have had external display support for a _long_ time. Does it require an adapter? Sure. And it’s actually a compressed video output reusing the screen recording hardware. The adapter runs a miniature iOS that decompresses the video again. It’s not raw pixels.
