iPhone 6 landscape breakpoint

Freeway
1

Greetings all,

Some immediate questions and a big picture one:

First, what is the effective breakpoint for iPhone 6 Landscape? I managed to make my site work in portrait with a 375 px breakpoint, but landscape has eluded me (e.g.: this page: Music-Lessons http://chrisrutkowski.com/Music/Lessons/index.html looks fine in portrait, but the html items overlay each other in landscape.

Follow up: what are the breakpoints for the Galaxy 7?

Big picture: I understand there are some more efficient strategies for responsive sites than creating breakpoints for every device. Probably my amateur design is one problem, but can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris iPhone 6 landscape is 667px and this is a great testing tool for testing sites and sizes

Thanks Carla! I actually did do the page I referenced at 667. Do you have any insight as to how to get my HTML items not to bunch up on top of each other? I may just reconfigure the page until they don’t, but I’m just wondering.

For as far as I consider myself an advanced user … I completely ignore phone/landscape settings. No one in their right mind will visit sites that way, simply because your trying to read your newspaper through your letterbox. Insane.

Conclusion … wrong font size used for mobile view. Don’t fight symptoms, fight the disease :wink:
