With a latte, it’s just normal steamed milk. A cappuccino has foamy steamed milk. Specifically, it has an equal volume of steamed milk and foam taking up space in the cup. You get more actual milk diluting the coffee in a latte, resulting in a milder drink.
Isn’t a latte non-steamed though? I thought a cappuccino had the frothed milk in it.

“Latte” is milk, “Caffè latte” is coffee with milk
Understood, but in the context of a coffee shop in an anglophone place it has a different agreed upon meaning.
True, however the (presumably humorous) comment that keeps getting downvoted is technically correct
A latte is espresso with steamed milk.
