Stop Asking Me to “Sign Up” (2014)

A phone with less than 700px width in 2020?

On a mobile device, web display pixels (logical pixels) are not the same as physical pixels.

An iPhone SE's logical width is 320px.

An iPhone 8 is 375px.

An iPhone 8 Plus is 414 px.

An iPad is 768px.

700 is more like a wap feature phone

WAP phones were closer to 180px. I know because I built local WAP news and weather sites for them. Squeezing color radar maps into 180px was... interesting.

I always forget about this one. Thanks for ruining my afternoon.

I love my iPhone SE since I can easily use it one-handed without worrying about dropping a $1,000 electronic device

It's a great phone. I'm just building a thing that needs to support it, and I was treating 380px as the lower end of things.

I did too, but with battery health at 91% I'd get maybe an hour of heavy use (and 12hr of light use) before having to charge it
