iPhone upgrade observations

Understanding the iPhone upgrades and iOS versions differences.

This page elaborates on observations made during visual testing with Percy specifically for iOS. Discover insights and findings about upgrading iPhones and iOS versions and optimising visual testing workflows with Percy here.

Upgrade from iOS 16 to iOS 17

There have been observed changes with the upgrade from iOS 16 to iOS 17 that may impact your experience. One notable change we have observed is that on certain web pages, how text is rendered has changed. This causes the text to appear differently on devices running iOS 17 than those running iOS 16.

Note that this is not an issue with our application, but with the iOS system itself. You must be aware of these changes and understand that you might need to adjust based on how you use the platform.

Ensure consistent rendering on iPhone13 iOS 17

We have observed changes where iPhone13 iOS 17 may experience inconsistent rendering, potentially leading to discrepancies in test results when webpages are not mobile responsive.

For reliable testing on mobile devices, we strongly recommend using mobile responsive webpages. It is important to include the following property in your DOM:

This property ensures that your DOM displays correctly as a mobile responsive webpage, optimizing the testing experience on various devices.
