Is there a way to find out the output power (RMS) of iPad (Basic and Pro models), and iPhone (current models)? I just want to compare them to a few, simple Bluetooth speakers, such as the ones from Anker and Xiaomi, speaking of two examples. I'm not aiming to use the iPad/iPhones speakers as audiophile musical devices; strictly for podcasts, audiobooks, and the like. I just wonder what size/output power (RMS) speakers iPad (Basic and Pro models) and current iPhones models could replace, respectively. That's it.

I don't know much about output power (RMS): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_power#Continuous_power_and_"RMS_power"
But as far as I can tell it's the metric that audio speakers are measured. Isn't it?
 
It's one of many ways to measure a speakers (or rather an amplifiers) performance. There's also THD, frequency response, etc. That information isn't publicly available however and it likely never will be. It doesn't really matter as most manufacturers either enormously stretch the truth or outright lie about audio specs anyway. At least, until you get into the higher end equipment.
