Why test your site on Apple iPhone 13?

3x density

Each CSS pixel of Apple iPhone 13 is rendered by 3 physical pixels. Any image, icon, or font provided in simple resolution appears immediately blurry.

Very elongated screen

With a ratio of 19.5:9, Apple iPhone 13 displays a lot of height for little width. Sections designed in landscape become endless columns, and full-screen visuals are poorly cropped.

Actual media queries

The 390 x 844 pixels viewport of Apple iPhone 13 rarely matches the round breakpoints of frameworks. It is precisely between these values that layouts break.

CSS viewport resolution of Apple iPhone 13

This resolution is what your stylesheet actually manipulates. It determines the applied breakpoint, the number of displayed columns, and the size of your images.

  • 390 pixels in width
  • 844 pixels in height

The height remains indicative: Safari, Chrome, and other mobile browsers reduce the visible area with their address bar, which folds on scroll.

Be cautious when analyzing your statistics: some tools only report the manufacturer resolution, never the CSS viewport presented here.

Pixel density of Apple iPhone 13

3

The device pixel ratio of Apple iPhone 13 is 3.

  /* Apple iPhone 13 */
}

Density media query

Serves high-resolution images to screens of at least 3x.

@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3),
       only screen and (min-resolution: 288dpi) {
  /* High-density images and icons */
}

Tailwind configuration

module.exports = {
  theme: {
    screens: {
      'apple-iphone-13-2021': '390px'
    }
  }
}

JavaScript detection

const isDeviceWidth = window.matchMedia('(min-width: 390px)').matches;
const isHighDensity = window.devicePixelRatio >= 3;

Meta viewport tag

Essential for Apple iPhone 13 to use its CSS viewport and not a simulated width of 980 pixels.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
