on an iPhone, the background image is shrunk by what appears to be nearly 50%
I haven’t had this issue on on other browser. I’d expect the background to simply be cropped where it doesn’t fit the screen.
Since it is unusual behavior, and apple must realise this, I’m hoping there is a pure css or HTML based solution. Should I be defining something differently or giving my page’s body a particular attribute?
turns out that this has nothing to do with the viewport.
there’s an article on it here:
