Why test your site on Apple iPhone XR?

Very elongated screen

With a ratio of 19.5:9, Apple iPhone XR displays a lot of height for little width. Sections designed in landscape become endless columns, and full-screen visuals are poorly cropped.

Older hardware

The hardware of Apple iPhone XR dates from 2018. Its processor makes costly animations, heavy scripts, and display times visible that recent devices mask.

2x density

With a density of 2x, Apple iPhone XR provides a useful benchmark to ensure your images remain sharp without serving unnecessarily large files.

CSS viewport resolution of Apple iPhone XR

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

896 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 XR

The device pixel ratio of Apple iPhone XR is 2. In other words, a 1-pixel square in CSS occupies 2 pixels on the panel. An image exported at actual size will appear blurry.

Manufacturer resolution of Apple iPhone XR

This resolution is the hardware's. It explains the display's sharpness, but it's never the one to target in a media query.

  • 828 pixels in width
  • 1792 pixels in height
  • 326 pixels per inch (ppi)
  • 6.1 inches diagonal, or 15.5 cm
  • Screen ratio of 19.5:9

Media queries and code snippets for Apple iPhone XR

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

CSS media query

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

@media only screen and (min-width: 414px) and (max-width: 895px) {
  /* Apple iPhone XR */
}

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 XR.

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    screens: {
      'apple-iphone-xr': '414px'
    }
  }
}

JavaScript detection

Detects format and density client-side.

const isDeviceWidth = window.matchMedia('(min-width: 414px)').matches;
const isHighDensity = window.devicePixelRatio >= 2;

Meta viewport tag

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

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

Free Apple iPhone XR simulator

Mobile FIRST includes Apple iPhone XR: your page displays in a viewport of 414 x 896 pixels, with the model's User-Agent, touch events, and scrolling behavior of a real mobile.

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.

  1. 01 Install the extension — Add Mobile FIRST to Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Installation is free and requires no account.
  2. 02 Open the page to test — Go to the URL to check, including a local address like localhost:3000.
  3. 03 Choose Apple iPhone XR — Select Apple iPhone XR from the list of devices. The viewport switches to 414 x 896 pixels, and the mobile User-Agent is applied.
  4. 04 Check rendering — Scroll, change orientation, test your forms, then capture an image or video to share.

Test your site on Apple iPhone XR directly in your browser, without buying the device.

  • Apple iPhone XR available in the device list
  • Real viewport, User-Agent, and touch events
  • Also works on localhost and in pre-production
  • Exportable screenshots and videos
