+    The current setting sizes="(min-width: 768px) 50vw, 65vw" makes the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro
+    select a smaller image, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max selects a larger image.
+
+    Steps:
+    1. Check the media queries in the `sizes` property.
+    2. Find the first matching value. For example, on a mobile device with a CSS pixel width
+    of 390px and DPR = 3 (iPhone 13), given setting sizes="(min-width: 768px) 50vw, 100vw",
+    it matches the `100vw` option.
+    3. Calculate the optimal image size: 390 × 3 × 100% (100vw) = 1170.
+    4. Find the corresponding match in the `srcset`.
+
+    To make the browser select a smaller image on mobile devices
+    override the template and change the `sizes` property to "(min-width: 768px) 50vw, 30vw"
+
+    The sizes="auto" is valid only when loading="lazy".
