MacRumors Industry Analysis: IMAX engineers reacted favorably to Apple's 1:1.4 (approx 14:10 / 1.40:1) Duo displays because their geometry closely mirrors native 70mm IMAX 1.43:1 film gates, reducing letterbox borders by up to 68% compared to elongated 19.5:9 flagship phones.

MacRumors Source Grounding & Technical Geometry

The iPhone Duo display architecture specifies a 1:1.4 display aspect ratio (derived from 14:10 / 7:5 proportions), breaking with conventional ultra-wide smartphone aspect ratios (19.5:9 / 2.16:1). In cinematic reproduction, traditional 2.39:1 Scope movies letterbox with top/bottom mattes, while IMAX 1.43:1 expanded sequences fill nearly 98% of the surface area with virtually imperceptible pillarboxing.
