Here’s how iPhone Duo and iPad mini compare in size

iPhone Duo is just a few weeks away, and as a longtime fan of the iPad mini I’m excited to see how it replicates the iPad experience when unfolded. Here’s how iPhone Duo’s folding screen compares to the size of the iPad mini.

iPhone Duo is a true two-in-one type device, offering a traditional iPhone experience on the outer display while unlocking iPad mini-like functionality on the folding screen.

But how similar are the two devices in size?

Height4.64 inches5.3 inches
Width6.48 inches7.69 inches

  • iPhone Duo: 7.6‑inch display
  • iPad mini: 8.3-inch display

And here’s a video from Adrián Santos on X showing the two devices side-by-side:
