iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Media Queries

Question

Does anyone know specific screen sizes to target media queries for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus?

Also, the icon sizes and splash screens?

Answer 1

For iPhone 5,

@media screen and (device-aspect-ratio: 40/71)

for iPhone 6,7,8

@media only screen and (min-device-width: 375px) and (max-device-width: 667px) and (orientation : portrait)

for iPhone 6+,7+,8+

@media screen and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (min-device-width: 414px)

Working fine for me as of now.

Answer 2

iPhone X

/* Portrait and Landscape */
@media only screen 
  and (min-device-width: 375px) 
  and (max-device-width: 812px) 
  and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3)
  /* uncomment for only portrait: */
  /* and (orientation: portrait) */
  /* uncomment for only landscape: */
  /* and (orientation: landscape) */ { 

}

iPhone 6+, 7+ and 8+

/* Portrait and Landscape */
@media only screen 
  and (min-device-width: 414px) 
  and (max-device-width: 736px) 
  and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3)
  /* uncomment for only portrait: */
  /* and (orientation: portrait) */
  /* uncomment for only landscape: */
  /* and (orientation: landscape) */ { 

}

iPhone 6, 6S, 7 and 8

/* Portrait and Landscape */
@media only screen 
  and (min-device-width: 375px) 
  and (max-device-width: 667px) 
  and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2)
  /* uncomment for only portrait: */
  /* and (orientation: portrait) */
  /* uncomment for only landscape: */
  /* and (orientation: landscape) */ { 

}

Answer 3

iPhone 6

• Landscape

  @media only screen 
      and (min-device-width : 375px) // or 213.4375em or 3in or 9cm
      and (max-device-width : 667px) // or 41.6875em
      and (width : 667px) // or 41.6875em
      and (height : 375px) // or 23.4375em
      and (orientation : landscape) 
      and (color : 8)
      and (device-aspect-ratio : 375/667)
      and (aspect-ratio : 667/375)
      and (device-pixel-ratio : 2)
      and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : 2)
  { }
  

• Portrait

  @media only screen 
      and (min-device-width : 375px) // or 213.4375em
      and (max-device-width : 667px) // or 41.6875em
      and (width : 375px) // or 23.4375em
      and (height : 559px) // or 34.9375em
      and (orientation : portrait) 
      and (color : 8)
      and (device-aspect-ratio : 375/667)
      and (aspect-ratio : 375/559)
      and (device-pixel-ratio : 2)
      and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : 2)
  { }
  

  if you prefer you can use (device-width : 375px) and (device-height: 559px) in place of the min- and max- settings.

  It is not necessary to use all of these settings, and these are not all the possible settings. These are just the majority of possible options so you can pick and choose whichever ones meet your needs.

iPhone 6 and 6+

@media only screen 
    and (max-device-width: 640px), 
    only screen and (max-device-width: 667px), 
    only screen and (max-width: 480px)

Predicted

According to the Apple website the iPhone 6 Plus will have 401 pixels-per-inch and be 1920 x 1080. The smaller version of the iPhone 6 will be 1334 x 750 with 326 PPI.

So, assuming that information is correct, we can write a media query for the iPhone 6:

@media screen 
    and (min-device-width : 1080px) 
    and (max-device-width : 1920px) 
    and (min-resolution: 401dpi) 
    and (device-aspect-ratio:16/9) 
{ }

@media screen 
    and (min-device-width : 750px) 
    and (max-device-width : 1334px) 
    and (min-resolution: 326dpi) 
{ }

Note that device-aspect-ratio will be deprecated in http://dev.w3.org/csswg/mediaqueries-4/ and replaced with aspect-ratio

Min-width and max-width may be something like 1704 x 960.

Apple Watch (speculative)

Specs on the Watch are still a bit speculative since (as far as I'm aware) there has been no official spec sheet yet. But Apple did mention in this press release that the Watch will be available in two sizes.. 38mm and 42mm.

Further assuming.. that those sizes refer to the screen size rather than the overall size of the Watch face these media queries should work.. And I'm sure you could give or take a few millimeters to cover either scenario without sacrificing any unwanted targeting because..

@media (!small) and (damn-small), (omfg) { }

or

@media 
    (max-device-width:42mm) 
    and (min-device-width:38mm) 
{ }

It's worth noting that Media Queries Level 4 from W3C currently only available as a first public draft, once available for use will bring with it a lot of new features designed with smaller wearable devices like this in mind.

Answer 4

You have to target screen size using media query for different screen size.

for iphone:

@media only screen 
    and (min-device-width : 375px) 
    and (max-device-width : 667px) 
    and (orientation : landscape) 
    and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : 2)
{ }

@media only screen 
    and (min-device-width : 375px) 
    and (max-device-width : 667px) 
    and (orientation : portrait) 
    and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : 2)
{ }

and for desktop version:

@media only screen (max-width: 1080){

}

Answer 5

This works for me for the iphone 6

/*iPhone 6 Portrait*/
@media only screen and (min-device-width: 375px) and (max-device-width: 667px) and (orientation : portrait) { 

}

/*iPhone 6 landscape*/
@media only screen and (min-device-width: 375px) and (max-device-width: 667px) and (orientation : landscape) { 

}

/*iPhone 6+ Portrait*/
@media only screen and (min-device-width: 414px) and (max-device-width: 736px) and (orientation : portrait) { 

}

/*iPhone 6+ landscape*/
@media only screen and (min-device-width: 414px) and (max-device-width: 736px) and (orientation : landscape) { 

}

/*iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ portrait and landscape*/
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 640px), only screen and (max-device-width: 667px), only screen and (max-width: 480px){ 
}

/*iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ portrait*/
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 640px), only screen and (max-device-width: 667px), only screen and (max-width: 480px) and (orientation : portrait){ 

}

/*iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ landscape*/
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 640px), only screen and (max-device-width: 667px), only screen and (max-width: 480px) and (orientation : landscape){ 

}

Answer 6

This is what is working for me right now:

iPhone 6

@media only screen and (max-device-width: 667px) 
    and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {

iPhone 6+

@media screen and (min-device-width : 414px) 
    and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 3)

Answer 7

Just so you know the iPhone 6 lies about it's min-width. It thinks it is 320 instead of 375 it is suppose to be.

@media only screen and (max-device-width: 667px) 
and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {

}

This was the only thing I could get to work to target the iPhone 6. The 6+ works fine the using this method:

@media screen and (min-device-width : 414px) 
and (max-device-height : 736px) and (max-resolution: 401dpi)
{

}
