Test it in CSS
Prefer breakpoints based on your content over device-specific rules. If you need to reproduce this exact size, for example to debug a layout, this media query matches it in portrait:
@media (width: 820px) and (height: 1180px) {
/* iPad Air, portrait */
}Tablets are wide enough to trigger tablet or desktop layouts: check navigation that switches between a menu icon and a full bar, and multi-column grids, in both orientations.
