Why test your site on Apple iPhone 8?
Older hardware
The hardware of Apple iPhone 8 dates from 2017. Its processor makes costly animations, heavy scripts, and display times visible that recent devices mask.
2x density
With a density of 2x, Apple iPhone 8 provides a useful benchmark to ensure your images remain sharp without serving unnecessarily large files.
Actual media queries
The 375 x 667 pixels viewport of Apple iPhone 8 rarely matches the round breakpoints of frameworks. It is precisely between these values that layouts break.
CSS viewport resolution of Apple iPhone 8
This resolution is what your stylesheet actually manipulates. It determines the applied breakpoint, the number of displayed columns, and the size of your images.
375 pixels in width
667 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
The device pixel ratio of Apple iPhone 8 is 2. Each CSS pixel is thus rendered by 2 physical pixels, making any image provided in simple resolution immediately visible.
Manufacturer resolution of Apple iPhone 8
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.
- 750 pixels in width
- 1334 pixels in height
- 326 pixels per inch (ppi)
- 4.7 inches diagonal, or 11.9 cm
- Screen ratio of 16:9
Media queries and code snippets for Apple iPhone 8
These snippets are generated from the exact characteristics of Apple iPhone 8. Copy them directly into your stylesheet or configuration.
CSS media query
Targets screens whose width matches that of Apple iPhone 8 and models of the same format.
@media only screen and (min-width: 375px) and (max-width: 666px) {
/* Apple iPhone 8 */
}Density media query
Serves high-resolution images to screens of at least 2x.
@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
only screen and (min-resolution: 192dpi) {
/* High-density images and icons */
}Tailwind configuration
Adds a named breakpoint at the exact width of Apple iPhone 8.
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
screens: {
'apple-iphone-8': '375px'
}
}
}JavaScript detection
Detects format and density client-side.
const isDeviceWidth = window.matchMedia('(min-width: 375px)').matches;
const isHighDensity = window.devicePixelRatio >= 2;Meta viewport tag
Essential for Apple iPhone 8 to use its CSS viewport and not a simulated width of 980 pixels.

Mobile FIRST does not yet include Apple iPhone 8, 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 — Select Apple iPhone 8 from the list of devices. The viewport switches to 375 x 667 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 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
These 4 devices share exactly the viewport of 375 x 667 pixels and the 2x density of Apple iPhone 8. Their CSS rendering is therefore exactly the same: what you validate on one is valid on all others.

Frequently asked questions about Apple iPhone 8
What is the CSS viewport resolution of Apple iPhone 8?
The CSS viewport of Apple iPhone 8 measures 375 pixels wide and 667 pixels high. This is the width to use for defining your media queries, not the manufacturer's resolution.
What is the pixel density of Apple iPhone 8?
The device pixel ratio of Apple iPhone 8 is 2. Each CSS pixel is thus displayed by 2 physical pixels, requiring you to provide your images in 2x to keep them sharp.
What is the screen resolution of Apple iPhone 8?
The panel of Apple iPhone 8 displays 750 x 1334 physical pixels. This is the value reported by most analytics tools, while your CSS works on a viewport of 375 x 667 pixels.
Which devices have the same viewport as Apple iPhone 8?
4 other models share exactly the viewport of 375 x 667 pixels and the 2x density of Apple iPhone 8: Apple iPhone 6, Apple iPhone 6s, Apple iPhone 7, Apple iPhone SE. A rendering validated on one is valid on all others.
How to test my site on Apple iPhone 8 without the device?
Install the Mobile FIRST extension on Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, then select Apple iPhone 8. Your page displays in a viewport of 375 x 667 pixels with the corresponding mobile User-Agent, in two clicks and for free.
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, 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?
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 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?
A media query on the exact width targets Apple iPhone 8: @media only screen and (min-width: 375px). Combine it with the pixel density to precisely target this model and those sharing its format.
