iPhone X / 8 / 8 Plus CSS media queries

Question

What are the CSS media queries corresponding to Apple\'s new devices ? I need to set the body\'s background-color to change the X\'s safe area back

Answer 1

I noticed that the answers here are using: device-width, device-height, min-device-width, min-device-height, max-device-width, max-device-height.

Please refrain from using them since they are deprecated. see MDN for reference. Instead use the regular min-width, max-width and so on. For extra assurance, you can set the min and max to the same px amount. For example:

iPhone X

@media only screen 
    and (width : 375px) 
    and (height : 635px)
    and (orientation : portrait)  
    and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio : 3) { }

You may also notice that I am using 635px for height. Try it yourself the window height is actually 635px. run iOS simulator for iPhone X and in Safari Web inspector do window.innerHeight. Here are a few useful links on this subject:
