On Apple iPhone 18 PRO, 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.
Each CSS pixel of Apple iPhone 18 PRO is rendered by 3 physical pixels. Any image, icon, or font provided in simple resolution appears immediately blurry.
With a ratio of 19.5:9, Apple iPhone 18 PRO displays a lot of height for little width. Sections designed in landscape become endless columns, and full-screen visuals are poorly cropped.
This is the width your CSS considers. All your breakpoints and media queries compare to this value, not the number of physical pixels on the panel.
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.

The device pixel ratio of Apple iPhone 18 PRO is 3.
Your images should therefore be exported 3 times larger than their display size, otherwise they will appear softened on this screen.
This is the actual number of pixels on the panel. This value does not affect your layouts, but it's the one reported by technical specifications and most analytics tools.
