Chrome's devtools, device toolbar resolutions are weird
so im new to web development and im trying to make my website responsive to mobile devices, i heard chrome's dev tools can simulate devices based on their resolutions. but heres the thing chrome has some weird resolutions for example, an iphone 7 in the simulator has a resolution of 375(width)x667(height)px but according to apple its 1334x750 pixels. or an iphone 7plus which has a res of 414x736 but realistically is 1920 x 1080 pixels. Even though they're different the simulator seems to be pretty accurate WHY???. this is seriously stressing me out as i don't if my max-width in my media queries are accurate on a genuine device or not.
