Why test your site on Apple iPhone 16 Plus?

Notch and safe areas

On Apple iPhone 16 Plus, the notch and gesture bar reserve part of the screen. Without the env(safe-area-inset-*) variables, your fixed headers and bottom-stuck buttons go under these areas and become unusable.

Large mobile screen

With 430 pixels wide, Apple iPhone 16 Plus already shifts some layouts to their tablet breakpoint. A test prevents overly stretched columns and unreadable text areas.

3x density

Each CSS pixel of Apple iPhone 16 Plus is rendered by 3 physical pixels. Any image, icon, or font provided in simple resolution appears immediately blurry.

CSS viewport resolution of Apple iPhone 16 Plus

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

  • 430 pixels in width
  • 932 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 16 Plus

3

The device pixel ratio of Apple iPhone 16 Plus is 3.

Each CSS pixel is thus rendered by 3 physical pixels, making any image provided in simple resolution immediately visible.

Manufacturer resolution of Apple iPhone 16 Plus

This is the number of physical pixels on the screen, as announced by the manufacturer. Useful for preparing your image exports, useless for your media queries.

  • 1290 pixels in width
  • 2796 pixels in height
  • 19.5:9 Screen ratio

460 pixels per inch (ppi) · 6.7 inches diagonal, or 17 cm

User-Agent of Apple iPhone 16 Plus

This string is what the browser of Apple iPhone 16 Plus sends. It is useful for your automated tests, reading your server logs, and server-side detection.

Notch and safe areas of Apple iPhone 16 Plus

On Apple iPhone 16 Plus, part of the screen is reserved for the notch and gesture bar. Without precaution, a fixed header goes under the notch, and a bottom-stuck button becomes impossible to touch.

Two conditions to remedy this: declare viewport-fit=cover in the meta viewport tag, then use the env(safe-area-inset-*) variables in your padding.

Safe areas

Protects your fixed elements from the notch and gesture bar of Apple iPhone 16 Plus.

.header {
  padding-top: env(safe-area-inset-top);
}

.bottom-bar {
  padding-bottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom);
}

Media queries and code snippets for Apple iPhone 16 Plus

These snippets are generated from the exact characteristics of Apple iPhone 16 Plus. Copy them directly into your stylesheet or configuration.

CSS media query

Targets screens whose width matches that of Apple iPhone 16 Plus and models of the same format.

@media only screen and (min-width: 430px) and (max-width: 931px) {
  /* Apple iPhone 16 Plus */
}

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

Adds a named breakpoint at the exact width of Apple iPhone 16 Plus.

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    screens: {
      'apple-iphone-16-plus-2024': '430px'
    }
  }
}

JavaScript detection

Detects format and density client-side.

const isDeviceWidth = window.matchMedia('(min-width: 430px)').matches;
const isHighDensity = window.devicePixelRatio >= 3;

Meta viewport tag

Essential for Apple iPhone 16 Plus to use its CSS viewport and not a simulated width of 980 pixels.

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