Fortnite is a console-quality game, so it may have trouble with continuing support for the low-power passively cooled CPU/GPU's found in mobile devices.
No "might" there - the switch has a heatsink + fan(s), sizable vents and probably a much larger battery (when portable, unlimited power supply when docked). The Switch works with a much larger power budget compare to the iPhone - input and output.
Does that really matter though if they have 100,000,000+ downloads on iOS? It would make sense to just do whatever you can to work around performance issues when it brings in the amount of money it does.
