Instead of targeting the iPhone specifically (or any given device), wouldn't it make more sense to find the point at which the menu (or other content) begins to wrap and look ugly, and set the breakpoint based on that?

17,730 Pointswe always go with content. It's great to target certain device widths if you know that your site has heavy traffic from a certain device, but what happens to your site when Apple comes out with the iPhone 7xys and it's screen resolution is completely different than all other phones?

Courses Plus Student 5,887 Pointsyeah you could do that, but if you want your website to look different on certain devices, you should go for specific device widths, but if you want it to looks the same, you can have 1 breakpoint where it wraps and make the website look the same on every devices!
hope this helps!
Kind regards.
