iPhone Air iPhone Air scaling (icon/keyboard size)

[noobinator]

Does the icon/keyboard etc. size on the iPhone air scale to the same size as the iPhone 17 pro or a different size? Meaning actual size of icons, keyboard etc... I used a pro for the last year and had a hard time typing compared to previous iPhone pro max size so was hoping the actual keyboard measurements on an air would be a bit bigger than iphone 16/17 pro.

I can compare the two directly side by side and the scaling of everything looks the same to me between the two, with the exception of the status bar icons which are larger on the Air.

Thanks for the quick reply and direct comparison. That's a bummer though. I may have to stick with a Pro Max this year.

Pretty much no different in my opinion, have not given it a second thought to be honest. The Air has a 6.5 inch screen vs. a 6.9 inch screen, a lot of people don't realize that is only 1 CM.

Note the status bar icons are bigger because the Dynamic Island is slightly lower and the space needs to be filled slightly more.

When in doubt, go into the store and try it out...

Have you tried increasing the screen zoom in settings?
