Phone uses another media screen query - css

Question

I have almost all queries for every phone. (I think atleast)
Example Iphone 6/7/8 (375x667), but uses:
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 640px) and (min-device-width: 360px){
#sidebar {
min-width: 360px;
max-width: 360px;
margin-right: -360px !important;
}
}
My full sidebar responsive media queries:

Cant add all queries here.
But the problem is the phone uses too small phone resolution or iPhone 5 uses too big resolution queries.

Answer 1

The queries are set by min & max pixel width so the iPhone 6 for example will only pick up the first media query relevant in the code, while ignoring any after (ignoring the correct one).
There may be a way with JS to target by specific device but you can't do so with CSS since the media queries are simply based on min/max pixel width.
You would need to change your width from exact pixels to something like percentages and use a more broad based pixel range like mentioned above.

Answer 2

Ideally you don't want to have a single media query for each phone size. The smallest screen size existent is 320px, so that's the smallest you want.
I like to have around 4 - 6 sizes of media queries, like XL, L, M, S and XS. XL could have max-width 1200px, L max-width 940px, and so on. This will improve your organization and code readability. Each project is different though - sometimes you may not need the XL, but may need a XXS, for instance.
Take the Bootstrap approach to media queries breakpoints as an example. Note that these values are what Bootstrap uses, you can come up with yours to what is most appropriate for your project;
// Small devices (landscape phones, 576px and up)
#media (min-width: 576px) { ... }
// Medium devices (tablets, 768px and up)
#media (min-width: 768px) { ... }
// Large devices (desktops, 992px and up)
#media (min-width: 992px) { ... }
// Extra large devices (large desktops, 1200px and up)
#media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }
If there is a very specific scenario where you find a bug at a specific breakpoint you can add that media query, but if you're coding clean this usually will not happen.
Good luck!
