They're both Turing machines, if that's what you're getting at. In practice, no, a console is not a general purpose computing machine. On iOS, by design, you can install almost any kind of application even without jailbreaking it. Which people do, you can have Excel and Maps and IDEs and whatever. Consoles, by design, do not allow that. It's almost strictly meant for games and media. And again. I don't care. Both types of walled gardens should be abolished.
