(explanation)
This is a fairly condensed sentence - this is how I'd expand it for clarity:
"Since that point in time, Apple has included in the Mac the same calling functionality that iPhones have"
Essentially, it's saying that Apple Macs now have the same calling function (i.e. ability to make calls) that the iPhone had previously.

For clarity: "the calling functionality that iPhones have [which is provided by PPI Connect] is now included in the Mac"

of course, I mean [which is like that provided by PPI Connect]

Apple has already released a similar feature
In my understanding, the author means that Apple has already released a similar feature (allow voice calls on Mac)

: This isn't very clear, IMO. Already and since are two different things. PPl Connect was first. Since then, Apple has released a similar product.
