Subject: [PATCH] Stop iOS zooming the page on every tap into a field
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Safari zooms when a focused input is smaller than 16px, and then leaves the page
zoomed — so on an iPhone every form throws the layout about, and the way back is
a pinch. The usual fix is the meta-viewport switch, which suppresses the zoom by
disabling pinch-zoom entirely: it takes a real accessibility feature away from
everyone to solve a cosmetic problem for some. Sizing the fields at 16px on
touch devices removes the reason instead.

!important on purpose: it has to beat every text-size utility on every field in
the application, and a rule that loses to `text-sm` on one form is worth
nothing. Checkboxes and radios are left alone — no text to inflate, and sizing
them there breaks the box.

Also -webkit-text-size-adjust, so iOS stops inflating body copy in landscape.
