The screen dimension difference is about 18%. Not sure how 76% more real estate is calculated here - please explain. Also, 76% more usable real estate (at lower pixel density and with similar scaling treatment by Apple)? I get it, it's easier to see things on a larger screen, even if it's just 18% bigger but it is bigger with a lower pixel density, lower contrast, lower nits, lower refresh rate and similar scaling treatement. I carry a Plus/Max size iPhone. Getting a mini makes no sense to me. Getting a regular iPad 10.9" or a 11" Pro, which are both compact enough for me and way better value instead of these lacklustre iPhone spare parts upgrades. Personal preference. I respect your and others' adoration for the Mini. Just not sure Apple is keeping it around for many more generations with this sad 'update'. Hence my tongue in cheek comment about the 16 Pro Max being the best Mini.
I think it’s a 44% area difference on those two
what is the 16 Pro Max aspect ratio?
Can plug in data and compare here
Visual TV Size Comparison : Display Wars
Visually compare televisions of different sizes and aspect ratios. Easily see the size difference between Plasma and LCD displays of various sizes.
Even if the particulars are a little off here in the comparison, it’s still a massive display area difference despite what seems like a small difference in diagonal dimension
