The first time you stop and wonder “How big is the iPhone screen?” or “How many pixels are on my iPad display?”, you figure Apple included the values for the iPhone or iPad resolution somewhere on its devices. While that’s not true, you can easily figure out an iPad or iPhone screen size in two simple steps. Knowing the model of your device is the first step to discovering its resolution. If you’re not sure what device you have, here’s our guide on how to tell your iPhone model and you can check the official Apple webpage to identify your iPad.

The iPhone model is shown in the list of devices under your profile For the second step, check out the iPhone screen sizes listed below or scroll down to the list under it to find your iPad’s resolution.

Another way of easily checking your iPad or iPhone screen resolution is using free apps that show system information. You can find a few such apps in the App Store. However, most of them are either old or poorly developed, and the information they show is often inaccurate. To help you out, we searched the App Store for the best free apps to find iPad or iPhone screen sizes. Sadly, we ended up with a list of only two. Here are the free apps we found that show your iPhone or iPad screen resolution:

2. Use the ActMonitor app to find your iPhone or iPad resolution

These are the methods we know for finding out your iPad or iPhone screen size. Unfortunately, neither is as easy as checking the Settings app could have been. We hope Apple decides to add this info in future versions of iOS and iPadOS, but we expressed the same hope in 2018, when this guide was first created, so we’re not exactly holding our breath here.
