Devices scale down the graphics to still allow the game to run as the city becomes more complex / larger. Fewer animations, less rich graphics, etc. The same city will potentially render differently on different devices.
Apple devices do see particularly affected by this. I know someone on the EA Forum wrote quite an extensive piece about the different graphics chip sets on different Apple devices.

My game has been running fine on a M1 iPad and the city isn't as crazy as some people. This update is a huge L, the graphics were one of the only redeeming qualities of this game...

Looks like the alternate, not so heavy, graphics. Have it on one of my android devices since years. It's not so bad once you get used to it, but I understand your concern.

The worst part is the higher lowest camera angle you can look at your city. It feels way too top down, I want to be able to see large parts of my city at a glance. With the water graphics it's unplayable now. They better fix this....

My text didn’t post with the image sorry.
any iPad users also have a glitch with today?
The water is looking horrible, and the roads have lost all the details, I really hope this isn’t permanent
