iPhone iPad browser simulator

Question

I need to see how my webpages are looking on an iPhone and iPad on my windows desktop  Is this possible   A quick search yielded some iPhone testing sites  which seemed like what I wanted  However  they are wildly inaccurate when I compared against my own iPhone  I really need something that is as close to 100  accurate as possible   Does XCode have a simulator that is 100  accurate  I understand I d need a Mac to run XCode

EDIT 2020  Most of these are basically just to test resolution stuff  some of them even outdated  sadly  mobile browser development went sideways with desktop  especially in Apple   therefore one can t really  quot emulate quot  a real phone with these as mentioned with comment  To emulate real phones  often the best choice is to download a desktop app which  for Windows  is usually paid freemium  on Mac just use the Xcode one  but I doubt Mac people are looking for this Q A   Freemium online easy to use that I found recently is Appetize io it seems to really render the screen according to network  but honestly I didn t really dig into whether it also has identical features and indentically missing features as real iOS  Online simulators   emulators I use 1  recombu Fine simulator which - unlike resizing browser window to mobile phone dimensions - acts same as a smart phone  Don t be confused that you can t edit address bar in safari - just open deveolper tools  usually F12  and rewrite iframe s source URL to yours   Link  http   recombu com mobile interactive ios7-demo  2  responsimulator Seems to work like recombu  but you can open url directly by text input and you can zoom in out   Link  http   www responsimulator com  3  transmog This one seems to process the webpage  but it emulates old iPhone - still handy sometimes   Link  http   transmog net iphone-simulator mobile-web-browser-emulator php X  google it   internet search for it Always use google  or other internet searchers  to check for other simulators emulators and new versions   Link with example google search for this one   https   www google cz search q online iphone emulator Browser device mode If you open your browser s developer s tools  in Chrome F12   there will probably be an option to toggle device mode  in Chrome it is the little smartphone icon at top-left    After choosing this option GUI will change and will provide option to select device to simulate  in Chrome it is at the top - select option  quot Device quot    after selecting device  refreshing the page is often adviced to ensure simulator s accuracy

The iPhone iPad simulator that comes with Xcode includes Safari  If you run Safari in the simulator  you can view your website and it should appear the same as it would on a real device  This may work for general layout testing  But since it is a simulator  it is possible that not every single bit of functionality will be exactly the same as using a real iOS device   If you are writing a website and you need to verify that it looks proper on a given device  then you need to test your website on that actual device  Testing with real hardware is part of the price of doing business   And yes  you need a Mac to run Xcode

There s no good substitute to testing on an actual device   Real devices have higher display densities  meaning that pixels are smaller   If you don t test on a real device  you may not realise that your design includes text that is too small to read or buttons that are too small to tap   You use real devices with your fingers  not a mouse   This means that the accuracy of your taps is much lower and what you are tapping is obscured by your finger   If you don t test on a real device  you may not realise you ve introduced usability problems into your design

Both Chrome and Firefox now have built-in emulators  They aren t perfect but are good enough that can get you almost all of the way before testing on an actual device  The best part is if you like the browser s developer tools  Chrome  Firefox   you can use them while emulating   To get the emulator   Ctrl Shift M  and select the device that you want to emulate  You might have to refresh the page  esp if you have anything that depends on script that executes on page load     Internet Explorer also has a device emulation mode  F12  then CTRL 8  It s not quite as straight forward as the Chrome Mobile Device emulation  but does allow you to simulate geolocation
