Targeting the iPhone Air 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 Air specifically */
@media only screen
and (device-width: 420px)
and (device-height: 912px)
and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 3) {
/* … */
}
/* More useful in practice — the width bucket it falls into */
@media (min-width: 420px) { /* … */ }Safe area on the iPhone Air
Dynamic Island, iPhone Air. Content placed inside the top 62 px or the bottom 34 px will sit under system UI unless you inset it.
/* iPhone Air 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); /* 62px */
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 Air screen
What is the screen size of the iPhone Air?
The iPhone Air has a 6.5-inch display. In CSS the viewport measures 420 × 912 px in portrait, and the panel itself has 1260 × 2736 physical pixels at 460 PPI.
What resolution should I design for on the iPhone Air?
Design at 420 × 912 and export assets at 3×. That gives you 1260 × 2736 px images, which is exactly what the panel renders. Designing directly at 1260 × 2736 means every measurement is 3 times larger than the CSS values you will write.
What is the device pixel ratio of the iPhone Air?
The iPhone Air 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 Air?
In portrait the safe area inset is 62 px at the top and 34 px at the bottom (Dynamic Island, iPhone Air). Use env(safe-area-inset-*) rather than hard-coding these — the values change per device and per orientation.
