    iOS9 returns double the value for window.innerWidth & window.innerHeight

The versions that are concerned are: 9.0.0, 9.0.1, 9.0.2
A few people got mad on twitter:
window.innerWidth in iOS 9 Safari returns double the number it did in iOS 8? Is this real life? tell me no — @rachsmithtweets
iOS9 Safari has the most insane bug where window.innerWidth / innerHeight is *sometimes* twice as large as it should be. ughhhh. !? — @mattdesl
iOS9 innerWidth/innerHeight is having a lot of fun these days — @ayamflow

    1) Use shrink-to-fit meta-tag

We don't have much infos about this new meta-tag, but it fix the 'scale of 1' issue for content larger than the viewport. See this tweet for more details:
@awfulben @kmuncie @hortont424 shrink-to-fit=no — @smfr
An appropriate example would look like this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no, maximum-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
In my case, it did fixed the window.innerHeight/Width issue. (tested on 9.0.2)

2) Use clientWidth/Height

Instead of using window.innerHeight/Width, use document.documentElement.clientHeight/Width

Since a lot of modules/librairies use it, it's not a very good solution.
More infos could be found here, and here.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to comment!
