Its 6.1-inch display is about 65 × 140.6 mm (worked out from the diagonal and its 2532 × 1170 pixel grid), so the screen covers roughly 87% of the front.

iPhone 17e, iPhone 14, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 share its height and width to within 0.3 mm, so in the hand they feel almost the same size, even if cases are cut differently around the cameras and buttons.
