iOS uses the same kernel¹ as MacOS so it is not that surprising, just like Android using the Linux kernel.
1: a kernel is the part of an OS that bridges the hardware with the rest of the software; the concept overlaps with that of drivers.
@jeroen94704 @frameworkcomputer
Would such optimization really being worth? Cause AFAIK the Linux kernel is almost the same everywhere, from servers to embedded devices.
The Linux kernel compiled is a handful of megabytes (yeah that's incredible); what makes a desktop distribution GB-sized is everything else; the kernel size is irrelevant compared to the rest. And the hardware support is in the kernel.
@Evv1L @frameworkcomputer Yep, also on Lightning iPhones:

Yep. I have an ethernet+USB-A adapter for my 13. It’s handy if you’re streaming from it. They’re pretty cheap.

This makes me think a modular smartphone with a slot at bottom compatible with Framework expansion cards would be really cool
Look up "Project Ara" for something really cool. Got canceled though.
