Fixing that automatic Safari zoom on inputs requires setting the font size to at least 16px specifically for iOS devices. If the design system mandates 14px text for desktop forms, you can use a media query targeting touch devices to upscale just those input fields. Adding touch-action manipulation on clickable elements also kills the 300ms tap delay without messing with the viewport scale.
