Why Test on Apple iPhone 5?
Viewport
Very small viewport exposes legacy breakpoint and spacing issues.
Pixel Density (DPR)
Standard pixel density reveals blurry images and icon scaling issues on screen.
Performance & Animations
Hardware constraints reveal heavy scripts and layouts.
Viewport Size (CSS Resolution)
The CSS viewport defines how media queries, layout breakpoints, and responsive components behave.
For Apple iPhone 5, the CSS viewport measures:
- Width: 320 px
- Height: 568 px
ℹ️ The visible height can vary slightly depending on the browser UI (Safari, Chrome, etc.).
Some analytics platforms only display the physical screen resolution (see below) instead of the CSS viewport size.
To see exactly how this viewport behaves in real conditions, you can simulate Apple iPhone 5 directly in your browser using Phone Simulator.

@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
/* High-DPI specific styles */
}In JavaScript:
window.devicePixelRatio;
// returns: 2Physical Screen Resolution
Physical resolution refers to the actual number of hardware pixels on the display. While it does not affect CSS layouts, it is commonly shown in analytics and device specifications.
- Width: 640 px
- Height: 1136 px
ℹ️ Physical resolution is not used for CSS layouts but is often shown in analytics tools.
