Why test your site on Apple iPhone 8 Plus?
3x density
Each CSS pixel of Apple iPhone 8 Plus is rendered by 3 physical pixels. Any image, icon, or font provided in simple resolution appears immediately blurry.
Older hardware
The hardware of Apple iPhone 8 Plus dates from 2017. Its processor makes costly animations, heavy scripts, and display times visible that recent devices mask.
Actual media queries
The 414 x 736 pixels viewport of Apple iPhone 8 Plus rarely matches the round breakpoints of frameworks. It is precisely between these values that layouts break.
CSS viewport resolution of Apple iPhone 8 Plus
This is the resolution that interests designers and developers the most, as it determines breakpoints and the definition of media queries. In practice, it's the only one mentioned in a stylesheet.
414 pixels in width
736 pixels in height (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 8 Plus
The device pixel ratio of Apple iPhone 8 Plus is 3. In other words, a 1-pixel square in CSS occupies 3 pixels on the panel. An image exported at actual size will appear blurry.
Manufacturer resolution of Apple iPhone 8 Plus
This resolution is the hardware's. It explains the display's sharpness, but it's never the one to target in a media query.
- 1080 pixels in width
- 1920 pixels in height
- 401 pixels per inch (ppi)
- 5.5 inches diagonal, or 14 cm
- Screen ratio of 16:9
Le panneau est en 1080x1920 mais iOS rend en 1242x2208 avant sous-échantillonnage matériel : l'écart avec viewport x densité est normal.
Media queries and code snippets for Apple iPhone 8 Plus
These snippets are generated from the exact characteristics of Apple iPhone 8 Plus. Copy them directly into your stylesheet or configuration.
CSS media query
Targets screens whose width matches that of Apple iPhone 8 Plus and models of the same format.
@media only screen and (min-width: 414px) and (max-width: 735px) {
/* Apple iPhone 8 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 8 Plus.
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
screens: {
'apple-iphone-8-plus': '414px'
}
}
}JavaScript detection
Detects format and density client-side.
const isDeviceWidth = window.matchMedia('(min-width: 414px)').matches;
const isHighDensity = window.devicePixelRatio >= 3;Meta viewport tag
Essential for Apple iPhone 8 Plus to use its CSS viewport and not a simulated width of 980 pixels.

Mobile FIRST does not yet include Apple iPhone 8 Plus, but a model with the same format is available. You can already validate your breakpoints and display density.
This is where the difference with Chrome DevTools' responsive mode is seen: DevTools resizes a window, the extension replicates the device's browser and allows exporting shareable screenshots and videos.
- 01 Install the extension — Add Mobile FIRST to Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Installation is free and requires no account.
- 02 Open the page to test — Go to the URL to check, including a local address like localhost:3000.
- 03 Choose Apple iPhone 8 Plus — Select Apple iPhone 8 Plus from the list of devices. The viewport switches to 414 x 736 pixels, and the mobile User-Agent is applied.
- 04 Check rendering — Scroll, change orientation, test your forms, then capture an image or video to share.
Test your site on Apple iPhone 8 Plus directly in your browser, without buying the device.
- Over 70 devices included, including a model with the same format
- Real viewport, User-Agent, and touch events
- Also works on localhost and in pre-production
- Exportable screenshots and videos
Models sharing the format of Apple iPhone 8 Plus
These 2 devices share exactly the viewport of 414 x 736 pixels and the 3x density of Apple iPhone 8 Plus. Their CSS rendering is therefore exactly the same: what you validate on one is valid on all others.

What is the difference with Chrome DevTools' responsive mode?
DevTools resizes the window and applies partial emulation. Mobile FIRST additionally applies the User-Agent of Apple iPhone 8 Plus, touch events, scroll behavior, and the actual appearance of the device, and allows capturing directly usable images and videos.
Can I test a localhost address on Apple iPhone 8 Plus?
Yes. The extension works on any URL open in your browser, including localhost:3000, 127.0.0.1, or a password-protected pre-production environment.
Do you need to buy a Apple iPhone 8 Plus to test your site?
No. The simulation covers the vast majority of development needs at no cost. A final test on a real device is still recommended before critical production deployment, but it's no longer necessary for each iteration.
Which media query to use to target Apple iPhone 8 Plus?
A media query on the exact width targets Apple iPhone 8 Plus: @media only screen and (min-width: 414px). Combine it with the pixel density to precisely target this model and those sharing its format.
