Viewport resolution (CSS rules)
It is the resolution that interests designers and developers the most because it determines the breakpoints and the definition of media queries. In general we only talk about this resolution.
For the Apple iPhone 12 it is :
- 390 pixels width
- 844 pixels height ⚠️ the height is indicative because the Safari browser, Chrome, etc. reduce the visible area
ℹ️ Some analytics tools only display the manufacturer resolution (below) and not the one presented above, so be careful when interpreting the results.

Pixel density
On the Apple iPhone 12 it is 3
If you want to target devices with at least this pixel density in CSS, you can use this media query.
@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) {
/* CSS */
}
Also in javascript, it is possible to retrieve the value of the pixel density.
window.devicePixelRatio
// Which will return the figure 3
