What the difference means for your site

Width: 1470px vs 1512px

Headings and buttons wrap differently: a line that fits in 1512px can break onto two lines in 1470px. Anything with a fixed width between the two makes the narrower screen scroll sideways (fix it).

Height: 956px vs 982px

On first load a page shows 832px on the MacBook Air 13″ (M2–M5) and 858px on the MacBook Pro 14″ (2021–2026), so “above the fold” differs by 26px.
