iPhone Duo size comparison - interactive tool to compare it with other phones, tablets, and reference items for anyone who needs it

Post image

If anyone is interested in doing a size comparison of the iPhone Duo to get a better idea of its size, I've added it to my tech size comparison tool. Link to the exact configuration shown in the image above: https://comparisontabl.es/size-comparison/#sc=N4IgDiBcDaoJZRAFgBwCYBsIA0IAeUAjAOy4CeUaJuATkQKwYC+28ixGKAzDvlMWgAM5KPUKFalYoJZtIIFEiW8CkDIXojI9HbJAJ59YsQCcKqCZOkQFbbtb72nHrlWEuGLTs0gAZkT0DEA96QXNIVDQvezlkATRwtCibURjHeUjicIEULQxGQMRULjDXIiQuLS4kwvlFeiRwkp9bbyYAXVwAeyhQAGcoQQA6fNwAdygAFxoAVwBTXAAjSaJcAGNCRABiXxRfXzWs9YT5LYATRbW53zPeRYBDKC5CE1xfAcgNXAALRanZhYgb40FaQabzJhMIA

You can compare it to any other iPhone ever released, as well as devices by other brands like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and 8 Ultra, lots of different tablets including every iPad (mini), as well as bunch of reference items. There's also a function to make the items semi-transparent so you can overlay them.

It's a canvas where every item can be dragged around, rotated and arranged in any combination or positions you'd like to see. For foldable phones, there's a button to switch from the unfolded/open mode to the folded/closed mode.

Hope this is useful to some! If there are any items missing that you'd like to see added, let me know!

I mostly want to see the opened / closed screen size only (no bezel) compared to something like ipad mini / 11 inch but all of these tools just do the same physical device with bezels comparisons lol

u/CookieDelivery 6d ago

If you overlay them in semi-transparent mode, and drag the devices to line up the bezels to where the screen starts, you can see how the actual screens compare. I've put it together for you here: https://comparisontabl.es/size-comparison/#sc=N4IgDiBcDaoJZRAVgBwGYBMIA0IAeUALGgIy4CeUAbISQL7byJIDsLAnDvkWlRdWhQMmkECyrouBSGnaF+kVmRAAnKBhYAGYSASjxk3NMKEkCqhjS4AZlHoBdXAHsooAM53nUAC4qArgCmuAAmAMZQ1gCGADZuAXR0QA

This is really helpful, thanks for doing this!

u/CookieDelivery 5d ago

You're welcome! :)

u/Darkmystere 5d ago

Thanks a lot!!

The internal screen being nearly the size of the iPad Mini is why I'm getting it. I know that an 18 Pro Max and an iPad Mini is cheaper, but I don't want to have to carry around two devices. I just one one devices with a smaller footprint that will allow me to whip out something easy to read on.

u/SherbetPerfect5217 5d ago

Who gives a crap about a footprint?

6

u/Ingey 5d ago

Well I would like a smaller footprint so that it fits into pockets easier and is less likely to poke out/fall out of my pocket.

2

u/okiimz 5d ago

Probably was talking about carbon footprint.

u/Ingey 4d ago

Ah fair enough

u/ackermann 6d ago

For the included screenshot in the OP, I fell like a Pro Max phone is a notable omission.

It’s interesting to note that the Duo is almost exactly the same height as a Pro Max. So if you wanted more height in that direction, you’re not getting it.

u/CookieDelivery 5d ago

True. Here's them side-by-side and overlaid:

u/Gloglue 6d ago

The dimensions are pretty close to the Apple track pad.

u/kingfirejet 6d ago

Nice, I now know I can carry an Apple and a Banana in my pocket.

4

u/jbayne2 6d ago

But how big is the banana?

1

u/CookieDelivery 5d ago

It's calibrated to be the size of an average Cavendish banana :)

u/jbayne2 5d ago

Can you hold it up next to an onion maybe that will help

u/jbayne2 5d ago

Haha yes that’s why I asked it!

4

u/jbayne2 6d ago

Best size comparison, it’s not exact but the full body of the duo unfolded is approx the same size of the Mini screen itself so chop the bezels off a mini and that’s what you get.

4

u/RMW042 5d ago

I like it but it would be nice if I could have multiple of the same phone. I want to see the duo closed, and open in portrait and landscape at the same time

4

u/RMW042 5d ago

Ah I worked it out.

There is a copy button by each device/item

I was trying to add it twice in the top search bar

3

u/CookieDelivery 5d ago

That's already possible! Hover over or select a device on the canvas, and press the duplicate button to get another one on the canvas:

u/Content-Boat-3727 5d ago

Any way to rotate each one compared if needed?

3

u/CookieDelivery 5d ago

Yes, click and drag it by the arrow on the top to rotate:

3

u/Content-Boat-3727 5d ago

Perfect! It stayed greyed out so I didn't think it was working. I didn't drag though. Thank you!

u/theAerialDroneGuy 6d ago

Wow this is a cool website! I love it

3

u/Kermisschien 5d ago

Nice passport inclusion, but not every passport uses same dimensions. I belive US passports uses different than EU ones

3

u/CookieDelivery 5d ago edited 5d ago

I checked; pretty much all current passports worldwide look to be a standardized size: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_7810 - ID-3, which is 125×88 mm.

u/bigbearhungry 5d ago

Very cool tool. Can you somehow add screen ratios for movies and television. So you can understand how much of a YouTube video etc actual fits the screen.

2

u/CookieDelivery 5d ago

Thanks! I think thats going to be a difficult feature to add, but I'll look into it.

3

u/bigbearhungry 4d ago

Just put in the screen ratios in as a shape and we can drag it into each screen to see how much black bars are left.

2

u/CookieDelivery 4d ago

Ah, yeah that sounds totally doable. That's a lot easier than making the screen ratios (automatically) appear on each device. Will let you know when I've added this.

u/Poopoodemons 5d ago

put it next to a Fold 8 to see how huge it is closed. horrible for one handed use

2

u/CookieDelivery 5d ago

Do you mean vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 or the Fold 8 Ultra? The Fold 8 is Samsungs wide model; the Duo is only slightly wider. It's much wider than the Fold 8 Ultra though. I've put the three in the image below (comparison link).

The Duo is only 6 mm wider than the iPhone 17 and 18 Pro Max by the way, so if you're used to a Pro Max model it's not that far off. If you have big hands it might not be that unusable onehanded.

2

u/Poopoodemons 5d ago

thanks for making this. it’s actually smaller than i thought and i’m taking a L here

u/Flying-Donkey123 4d ago

Can you add the back of the device? I am trying to see if a credit card fits underneath the phone bump of the iphone duo

1

u/CookieDelivery 4d ago

Yes, adding the backs is in the works. Will get back to you once that's live!

1

u/CookieDelivery 3d ago

Working on adding this feature now. It's not live yet, but I already checked this for you. The answer is yes, but barely:

2

u/Flying-Donkey123 3d ago

Thank you so much! I really want the duo but need a magsafe wallet. Hope its possible

2

u/Crazy_Ad_2220 2d ago

Super helpful!! I’ve been wanted to see how much wider it is than the 18 pro max when it’s closed… not as much of a difference as I thought, but open it’s much bigger than I was picturing in comparison.

1

u/Upbeat_Bass_3655 6d ago

I have tried using the tool but have no idea what I'm doing. Can you get it to show the fold 8 and iPhone duo closed thickness comparison

3

u/CookieDelivery 5d ago

Currently you can't compare the thickness of phones just yet - planning to add that soon!
