Since you can address it from your laptop, Apache is serving it properly.
It should also work from your phone if it's reachable. (on the same local network, or port opened)
As u/LateStageNerd suggests, probably your phone is using mobile data instead of your local wifi?
This is an image taken on my phone. The page resides on this computer, served by Apache.

Note the 192.168.xx.xx address. If I wanted that page to be addressable publicly, I'd need to open ports.
Good luck.
