Targeting the iPhone 16e in CSS
Device-specific media queries are brittle — a new model with the same width will not match. Use them for genuine per-device fixes only, and prefer width buckets for layout.
/* Target iPhone 16e specifically */
@media only screen
and (device-width: 390px)
and (device-height: 844px)
and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 3) {
/* … */
}
/* More useful in practice — the width bucket it falls into */
@media (min-width: 390px) { /* … */ }Safe area on the iPhone 16e
Notch. Content placed inside the top 47 px or the bottom 34 px will sit under system UI unless you inset it.
/* iPhone 16e safe area — requires viewport-fit=cover */
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover">
.app {
padding-top: env(safe-area-inset-top); /* 47px */
padding-bottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom); /* 34px */
padding-left: env(safe-area-inset-left);
padding-right: env(safe-area-inset-right);

Questions about the iPhone 16e screen
What is the screen size of the iPhone 16e?
The iPhone 16e has a 6.1-inch display. In CSS the viewport measures 390 × 844 px in portrait, and the panel itself has 1170 × 2532 physical pixels at 460 PPI.
What resolution should I design for on the iPhone 16e?
Design at 390 × 844 and export assets at 3×. That gives you 1170 × 2532 px images, which is exactly what the panel renders. Designing directly at 1170 × 2532 means every measurement is 3 times larger than the CSS values you will write.
What is the device pixel ratio of the iPhone 16e?
The iPhone 16e reports a device pixel ratio of 3. One CSS pixel therefore covers 9 device pixels. You can read it in JavaScript with window.devicePixelRatio.
What are the safe area insets on the iPhone 16e?
In portrait the safe area inset is 47 px at the top and 34 px at the bottom (Notch). Use env(safe-area-inset-*) rather than hard-coding these — the values change per device and per orientation.
Which other devices have the same viewport as the iPhone 16e?
6 other devices share the 390 × 844 CSS viewport: iPhone 17e, iPhone 14, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12. A layout that works on one works on all of them.
