Each week, new devices appear with varying screen sizes, pixel densities, input types,
and more. As developers and designers, we agree to use standards to mark up, style, and
program what we create. Browser makers in turn agree to support those standards and set
defaults appropriately, so we can hold up our end of the deal. This agreement has never been
more important. Thatâs why it hurts when a device or browser maker does something that
goes against our agreementâespecially when theyâre a very visible and trusted friend of
the web like Apple. Peter-Paul Koch, Lyza Danger Gardner, Luke Wroblewski, and Stephanie
Rieger explain why Appleâs newest tablet, the iPad Mini, creates a vexing situation for
people who are trying to do the right thing and build flexible, multi-device experiences.
