Not quite, this varies depending on the browser app used, zoom level set, language set, other accessibility settings, etc. etc.

Most users either use safari or chrome. Maybe 2 bits of entropy at best.

>zoom level set [...] other accessibility settings, etc. etc.

95% (random guess) of users don't have these changed from the default because they don't have vision problems or other accessibility needs.

>language set

The parent post said it was in California, so en-US is a pretty safe assumption.

Good to know but irrelevant to my point.

My point was panopticlick says some iPhone10 in the PST time zone set to en-US running Safari is one in 500k. If there are 55million people the PST timezone then panopticlick is basically saying there are only 110 iPhone10s set to en-US in all of the PST time zone. That's clearly false.
