AI-assisted comparison · labeled · generated just generated or not yet stored · not a verdict
Apple confirmed the iPhone Duo will feature a 1:1.4 aspect ratio for its inner and outer displays. The company stated this design choice aligns with the "full-frame" IMAX standard, distinguishing it from the wider formats used by competing Android foldables.

Neither outlet provides independent technical analysis of the display’s actual usability or pixel density implications.
