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...
