There is a big gap in *experience* between DevTools' "responsive views" and a real device. Testing on real mobile device is mandatory if you want a good experience.

On mobile: the url bar is retractable, the keyboard pops up, both change the client view size dynamically, you have touch events, clicks make flashes, etc... If you are trying to write a PWA close to a native app, all these things matter a lot.

I think the browsers are "misleading" the developers by labeling "iPhone X" and "Pixel XL" on the responsive views. For layout it's ok but the experience is faaaaarrrrrr from the real thing.

It would be much better if Browsers embedded an emulated Android/iPhone browser and map the touch events + popup keyboard like the real device. I'm pretty sure we would have better mobile Web Apps...

I'm in the ear of
@bmeurer,@hashseed,@egsweeny, and@dalmaer about this on the regular. Devtools, today, is not fit for purpose. It's lying to developers by default and it's not OK.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

Just the perf story alone is Bad News. Lots of ways to fix, but they aren't "more of the same".
