Using an iPad mini to preview the iPhone Duo experience
9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- The author is using an iPad mini as a substitute phone to simulate the experience of the upcoming iPhone Duo's large screen, which measures 7.6 inches compared to the iPad mini's 8.3 inches.
- Despite the iPad mini running iPadOS and offering more flexible multitasking than the iPhone Duo's iOS, the author prefers using apps in full or split screen to closely mimic the Duo interface.
- The iPad mini experiment is limited by lack of pocketability and absence of some iPhone Duo features, but it provides a useful preview of using a larger screen in a phone form factor.
- Switching back to the smaller iPhone 18 Pro screen after using the iPad mini highlights the appeal of a larger display, increasing the author's anticipation for the iPhone Duo launch.
