A sharp refinement of the growth estimate is

that is not a rotation, this follows by applying the
Schwarz-Pick lemma to

If

exists, then the boundary Schwarz lemma gives
This bound follows from Unkelbach (1938, p. 741) and was independently obtained by Osserman (2000). In particular, unless

are sharp, as shown by

with equality in the growth estimate for real

at

Sharp generalizations of both estimates to holomorphic maps between the open unit balls of complex Banach spaces are given by Chen et al. (2026).
