iPhone Duo screen size and display reference

The 7.6″ inner screen is 626 × 890 points (1878 × 2670 pixels) and the 5.4″ outer screen is 466 × 678 points (1398 × 2034 pixels). Everything below is the detail behind those two lines, including what each display reports to your app.

Not a developer, and wondering why your apps look stretched on one? Why apps look wrong on iPhone Duo explains what each symptom means.

How the point figures are derived

Apple publishes pixels, not points. Every point figure on this page is the published pixel dimension divided by the @3x scale factor, and the division is shown here so you can check it rather than take our word for it — point figures for this device vary between sources, and some of them are wrong.

DisplayPublished pixelsScalePoints
Inner (folding) display1878 × 2670÷ 3626 × 890
Outer (cover) display1398 × 2034÷ 3466 × 678

Both divide exactly, with no rounding. If a source gives you different point dimensions for iPhone Duo, divide its own pixel figures by three and see whether they agree with themselves —why sources disagree on this. Pixel dimensions, physical sizes and PPI come from Apple’s technical specifications; the points do not, because Apple does not publish them.

Apple describes the two displays as sharing the same aspect ratio, and for design purposes they effectively do — the published pixel dimensions put them about 2% apart. The aspect column above is calculated from those dimensions, so lay out for a range rather than either number.

iPhone Duo display proportions compared with iPhone 18 ProThree screens drawn to the same scale. iPhone 18 Pro is 402 by 874 points, a ratio of 2.17. The iPhone Duo inner display is 626 by 890 points, a ratio of 1.42 — wider and much squarer. The outer display is 466 by 678 points.402 × 874 ptiPhone 18 Profor comparison2.17626 × 890 ptiPhone Duoinner, unfolded1.42466 × 678 ptiPhone Duoouter, closed1.45
Drawn to the same scale. The inner display is not simply larger — at 1.42 it is a different shape from the 2.17 every previous iPhone layout was built for.

For context beyond Apple: these two panels sit at opposite extremes of the nine foldables shipping today — every foldable’s aspect ratio compared, and a closer look at iPhone Duo against the Galaxy Z Fold.

The last row is the one that matters for planning: the device ships on iOS 27.1, which is the SDK tier at which apps reach the screen edge and bar buttons lay out vertically. Every device in a customer’s hands on day one is running that environment.What to fix first

Why 1.42 matters

The inner display is roughly 1.42 against about 2.17 on iPhone 18 Pro. That is a different shape of screen, not a bigger one, and it drives most of the layout work:
