Why test your site on Apple iPhone XS Max?
Very elongated screen

Older hardware
The hardware of Apple iPhone XS Max dates from 2018. Its processor makes costly animations, heavy scripts, and display times visible that recent devices mask.
CSS viewport resolution of Apple iPhone XS Max
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.

- 896 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.
