iPhone X / 8 / 8 Plus CSS media queries - css

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 background color.

Answer 1

iPhone X
#media only screen
and (device-width : 375px)
and (device-height : 812px)
and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio : 3) { }
iPhone 8
#media only screen
and (device-width : 375px)
and (device-height : 667px)
and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio : 2) { }
iPhone 8 Plus
#media only screen
and (device-width : 414px)
and (device-height : 736px)
and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio : 3) { }
iPhone 6+/6s+/7+/8+ share the same sizes, while the iPhone 7/8 also do.
Looking for a specific orientation ?
Portrait
Add the following rule:
and (orientation : portrait)
Landscape
Add the following rule:
and (orientation : landscape)

Answer 3

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 : 812px)
and (orientation : portrait)
and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio : 3) { }

Answer 4

It seems that the most accurate (and seamless) method of adding the padding for iPhone X/8 using env()...
padding: env(safe-area-inset-top) env(safe-area-inset-right) env(safe-area-inset-bottom) env(safe-area-inset-left);

Answer 5

If your page is missing meta[#name="viewport"] element within its DOM, then the following could be used to detect a mobile device:
#media only screen and (width: 980px), (hover: none) { … }
If you want to avoid false-positives with desktops that just magically have their viewport set to 980px like all the mobile browsers do, then a device-width test could also be added into the mix:
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 800px) and (width: 980px), (hover: none) { … }
Per the list at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Media_Queries/Using_media_queries, the new hover property would appear to be the final new way to detect that you've got yourself a mobile device that doesn't really do proper hover; it's only been introduced in 2018 with Firefox 64 (2018), although it's been supported since 2016 with Android Chrome 50 (2016), or even since 2014 with Chrome 38 (2014):
