Comparison review
The iPhone 7 is just a bit better than Microsoft Surface Duo, with an 81.6 score against 78.8. IPhone 7's body is noticeably lighter than Microsoft Surface Duo, although it's extremely thicker and was released 4 years before. Microsoft Surface Duo has a bit better performance than iPhone 7, because it has a higher number of cores (and also faster) and a higher amount of RAM memory.
Microsoft Surface Duo counts with a slightly better looking screen than iPhone 7, because it has a little bit more pixels per inch in the display, a much better 1800 x 2700 resolution and a lot larger display. The Apple iPhone 7 takes clearer photographs and videos than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has slower video frame rates, and they both have the same (4K) video definition, the Apple iPhone 7 also counts with a bigger aperture to capture better low light images and videos and a camera with more mega-pixels.
IPhone 7 counts with a way bigger memory for applications, games, photos and videos than Microsoft Surface Duo, because it has 256 GB internal storage capacity. Microsoft Surface Duo has a really longer battery duration than iPhone 7, because it has 3577mAh of battery capacity instead of 1960mAh.
Although iPhone 7 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Microsoft Surface Duo, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Microsoft Surface Duo. If you are trying to save some money, you can get the Microsoft Surface Duo, giving up some specs and features, but you'll get the most with your budget.
