Hello all!
I was wondering if there is a reason behind choosing 768px or 769px and 1024px or 1025px for web design when making the website responsive? or is it just a preference?
THANKS!

A max-width of 768 and a min-width of 769 are two sides of the same breakpoint.
If they are both used as min-width, 768 would be "an iPad or larger", and 769 would be "anything larger than an iPad in portrait orientation".
Too bad you can't share a link to the video (well, you can, but only another techdegree student can use it).

These particular dimensions are probably based on an iPad.

9,511 Pointsyeah but I am doing the techdegree and in the videos the teachers are using 769. but in the assignment, they are telling us to scale it to 768. I was wondering if there was a correlation? Sorry I was probably not specific enough. Not splitting hairs just really curious. Thanks!
