IMAX Reacts to iPhone Duo's 1:1.4 Aspect Ratio Displays

Production theater company IMAX has responded in a mixed way to Apple's embrace of a 1:1.4 aspect ratio on the iPhone Duo's inner and outer displays. The boxier ratio happens to be very close to the classic "full-frame" IMAX 1.43:1 aspect ratio, which comes from the geometry of the company's original 15-perforation/70mm film system. In response to an X post from someone wondering if we'll see more 1:14.1 content because of the iPhone Duo, IMAX's official account said, "Love this for them," but then added, "Still not watching movies on a phone..." Pre-orders open October 16 ahead of an October 23 launch.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Coming Soon)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "IMAX Reacts to iPhone Duo's 1:1.4 Aspect Ratio Displays" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
