Safari on iOS sets the size and scale of the viewport to reasonable defaults that work well for most webpages, as shown on the left in Figure 3-9. The default width is 980 pixels.

Even if your page doesn't have any style information, or any size information of any kind. Just put a blob of text in a <body> tag and your iPhone will figure you must want to view it a tenth of an inch high.
