I can reproduce it as well, although it's weird that it only happens on a device and not the simulator.

I recently updated to iOS 17.3 and I can't reproduce the issue anymore. Can anybody else confirm if it's gone on their end?

I was able to prevent this behavior by adding the following CSS:

.mdc-text-field--outlined .mat-mdc-form-field-infix,
.mdc-text-field--no-label .mat-mdc-form-field-infix {
  padding-bottom: unset !important;
}

I searched the repo for that class and it looks like it might be coming from https://github.com/angular/components/blob/8fab89229d3aad9109c5a22244f9f35ae3fc675f/src/material/form-field/_mdc-text-field-density-overrides.scss#L30

Works for me as a tempotrary solution. Thanks. iOS 17.4
