Why test your site on Apple iPhone 17?
3x density
Each CSS pixel of Apple iPhone 17 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 17 displays a lot of height for little width. Sections designed in landscape become endless columns, and full-screen visuals are poorly cropped.
CSS viewport resolution of Apple iPhone 17
This resolution is what your stylesheet actually manipulates. It determines the applied breakpoint, the number of displayed columns, and the size of your images.
- 402 pixels in width
- 874 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.

On Apple iPhone 17, 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.

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