The @media CSS at-rule can be used to apply part of a style sheet based on the result of one or more media queries. With it, you specify a media query and a block of CSS to apply to the document if and only if the media query matches the device on which the content is being used.
Yes, you can.
@supports (-webkit-touch-callout: none) {
/* CSS specific to iOS devices */
}
@supports not (-webkit-touch-callout: none) {
/* CSS for other than iOS devices */
}
YMMV.
It works because only Safari Mobile implements -webkit-touch-callout
: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-webkit-touch-callout
Please note that @supports
does not work in IE. IE will skip both of the above @support
blocks above. To find out more see https://hacks.mozilla.org/2016/08/using-feature-queries-in-css/. It is recommended to not use @supports not
because of this.
What about Chrome or Firefox on iOS? The reality is these are just skins over the WebKit rendering engine. Hence the above works everywhere on iOS as long as iOS policy does not change. See 2.5.6 in App Store Review Guidelines.
Warning: iOS may remove support for this in any new iOS release in the coming years. You SHOULD try a bit harder to not need the above CSS. An earlier version of this answer used -webkit-overflow-scrolling
but a new iOS version removed it. As a commenter pointed out, there are other options to choose from: Go to Supported CSS Properties and search for "Safari on iOS".
As mentioned above, the short answer is no. But I'm in need of something similar in the app I'm working on now, yet the areas where the CSS needs to be different are limited to very specific areas of a page.
If you're like me and don't need to serve up an entirely different stylesheet, another option would be to detect a device running iOS in the way described in this question's selected answer: Detect if device is iOS
Once you've detected the iOS device you could add a class to the area you're targeting using Javascript (eg. the document.getElementsByTagName("yourElementHere")[0].setAttribute("class", "iOS-device");
, jQuery, PHP or whatever, and style that class accordingly using the pre-existing stylesheet.
.iOS-device {
style-you-want-to-set: yada;
}
Short answer No. CSS is not specific to brands.
Below are the articles to implement for iOS using media only.

Infact you can use PHP, Javascript to detect the iOS browser and according to that you can call CSS file. For instance

I don't know about targeting iOS as a whole, but to target iOS Safari specifically:
@supports (-webkit-touch-callout: none) {
/* CSS specific to iOS devices */
}
@supports not (-webkit-touch-callout: none) {
/* CSS for other than iOS devices */
}
Apparently as of iOS 13 -webkit-overflow-scrolling
no longer responds to @supports
, but -webkit-touch-callout
still does. Of course that could change in the future...
