One of my pet hates (there are many), is being presented with the incorrect keyboard, or having auto capitalisation forced upon me, when entering information into web forms on my iPhone or iPad. This is something that’s very easy to control and can be done so with a little sprinkle of HTML5. You don’t even have to worry about old browsers - I’ve tested this to work perfectly well even in IE6.
When viewing websites on the iPhone it will auto adjust font sizes at will to improve readability - this can be especially useful when switching from landscape to portrait, for example.
However, on certain web layouts this can cause problems and may result in an undesired layout.
To prevent this, simply add the following to any element in your CSS:
-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;
Safari will now no longer auto adjust the font size.
If, like many, you’re finding your old iPhone 3G a bit sluggish, here’s a handy tip from @philipzaengle and @johnwilliams713... turn off Spotlight Search (providing you don’t use it, of course). Here’s how:
Settings » General » Spotlight Search » Turn off all items.
You should notice a sigificant increase in how responsive the phone is.
