I’d like to say just get rid of the old iPad-sized control design and embrace iPhone-sized controls with iPad-styled layout - they will look good on both iPad mini and iPhone since they have the same pixel (point) density and when regular iPads are used, despite being sub-optimal, the UX will not be shabby as well.
