I have a site that is 2048px wide. Is there a way to automatically have the iPad fit the entire site width on the screen when the site is loaded? I've tried experimenting with meta viewport in a few different ways:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width maximum-scale=1.0">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width initial-scale=1.0">
This hasn't worked though. The site is still too wide and spills off screen on the iPad.

This post looks better in our award-winning app, Tips & Tricks for iPhone. When browsing web pages in Safari, you can double-tap on a column, word, or picture to fit its width to your screen. Double tap again to zoom out. You can also pinch-in or pinch-out on screen to have more control over how far you zoom in.
Question: Q: HOW TO CHANGE ASPECT RATIO ON AN IPAD 4 Answer: A: Any available aspect ratio controls will be provided by App in which you are viewing content. Otherwise, for iOS/iPadOS, there are no system-level controls that influence the displayed aspect ratio.
What has most likely happened is you may have accidentally enabled the zoom feature by double tapping it with 3 fingers. To fix this issue, simply double-tap on the screen with 3 fingers, and the screen will usually go back to normal and eliminate the magnification.
You can pass a fixed size to the content width like so:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=2048" />
May need some tweaking to allow for padding either side, but should load the site at that size and allow users to zoom in.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
That's what I use for my website.
