This is the total opposite of immersive. I’ve looked for Safari iOS docs to perhaps set a background color, but couldn’t find anything.https://twitter.com/thomasfuchs/status/907764896829452288 …

There’s also no tabs when browsing (like on the Plus). Prob not enough vert space. Def not a Plus replacement if you like Plus features.

Apparently there is a way to set the background color, e.g. the Apple TV 4K page does it.pic.twitter.com/Am3xn6wjRp

So essentially, to make your page not ugly on the iPhone X, just make it all black!

Confirmed: it uses `background-color` of <body> to fill in the “blanks”. Doesn’t work with other fills (e.g. no gradients)

(Also possible: set background color on <html>)

Can’t wait for weird hack JS libs like changing the background color of <body> while you scroll the page to avoid the stripes

It gets weirder when you have the sidebar open. Btw, the bar on bottom is _not_ a scrollbar. It’s the “home indicator”.pic.twitter.com/hxqOySoYPB

Fwiw, in vertical mode there’s no problem extending the viewport all the way down to where the rounded corners are.pic.twitter.com/sLUfioV6lu

I’m not super happy with drawing native controls just willy-nilly on top of content, but at least they don’t just cut it off.
Show this thread -
The best solution would actually be a new meta tag or CSS property that declares that content should be drawn beyond the viewport or not

(Best solution besides not having a screen with a chunk missing)

For anyone who reads this thread, Apple has a proposal on how to deal with this in CSS:https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1693 …

You can remove these with viewport-fit=cover in your meta tag.http://stephenradford.me/removing-the-white-bars-in-safari-on-iphone-x/ …

Thanks!!! Whyyyyy didn’t they update their docs
-
I have no idea. So frustrating!
-
Thanks for researching and writing it up! I hate that web is so often treated as second-class citizen.

This makes a lot of sense. But landscape is maybe <1% of use, so…
the notch is justified by what it enables. This, too, shall pass. -
What does it enable, exactly, for Safari use? The hidden scroll bar is particularly egregious
-
I agree the scroll bar seems like a mistake and should be changed. Its the speaker, cameras, sensors, etc — those didn't fit in a forehead.
-
The 1% stat is prob correct-ish, but the most salient point in that thread is that leaving raw, rough edge cases like this feels un-Appley
-
Yes, it feels like they don’t care.
-
Customers are captive and the company just doesn't care, because they don't have to. That's the new Appley feeling.
-
I really first got this with the Watch. The OS in the first version was practically unusable.
