It makes sense because they will be essentially be the same platform, like an iPad and an iPhone.

I think that the latest iPad can realistically emulate the latest iPhone, but not the other way around. I think it's the same thing for Nintendo handhelds versus home consoles.

 

iPad Air and iPhone 5S have the same SoC, the same amount of RAM and many other identical components, the main difference is the screen size, the battery size (bigger display needs more power) and the telephone chip. The A7-SoC of the iPhone 5S (and of the iPad mini Retina) are slightly underclocked and they throttle faster to keep the temperature and power consumption lower, but the speed difference to the iPad Air is marginal.
