POHow to target iPhone 3GS AND iPhone 4 in one media query?
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to implement alternate layouts for both the iPad/iPhone and older iPhones as well.</p> <p>I have established that the best method is to use <code>@media</code> from the CSS3 spec.</p> <p>As such these are my media queries at the minute:</p> <pre><code>@media screen and (max-width: 1000px) { ... } </code></pre> <p>Above is for small desktop and laptop screens.</p> <pre><code>@media screen and (max-width: 700px) { ... } </code></pre> <p>Above is for the iPad and VERY small desktop/laptop screens.</p> <pre><code>@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { ... } </code></pre> <p>Above is for iPhone 3GS- and mobile devices in general.</p> <p>However, the new iPhone 4 with Steve Jobs's all-singing all-dancing "retina" display means that it has a pixel ratio of 2-1 meaning 1 pixel actually appears to the browser as 2x2 pixels making its resolution (960x640 - meaning it will trigger the iPad layout rather than the mobile device layout) so this requires ANOTHER media query (only so far supported by webkit):</p> <pre><code>@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) { ... } </code></pre> <p>Now, the thing is... I want my nice shiny new iPhone 4 layout amalgamated with the iPhone 3GS and mobile device layout as they will both have exactly the same inner CSS code,</p> <p>Therefore making my question;</p> <p><strong>How do I create an <code>@media</code> rule that points both the iPhone 4, 3GS and other mobiles to the same styles?</strong></p>
