Safari Issue with css transform

Question

I have a wordpress site which i am helping a friend out with

.porto .porto-item:hover img {
  -webkit-transform: scale(1.2);
      -ms-transform: scale(1.2);
          transform: scale(1.2);
  opacity: .2;
}
.porto .porto-item:hover .porto-info {
  opacity: 1;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  height: 100%;
  -webkit-transform: scale(1);
      -ms-transform: scale(1);
          transform: scale(1);
}
.porto .porto-item:hover .title {
  opacity: 1;
  -webkit-transform: scale(1);
      -ms-transform: scale(1);
          transform: scale(1);
  text-shadow: 0 0 0 white;
}
.porto .porto-item:hover .categories {
  opacity: 1;
  -webkit-transform: scale(1);
      -ms-transform: scale(1);
          transform: scale(1);
  text-shadow: 0 0 0 white;
}
.porto .porto-item:hover .more {
  opacity: 1;
  -webkit-transform: scale(1);
      -ms-transform: scale(1);
          transform: scale(1);
  text-shadow: 0 0 0 white;
}

If you want it so that whenever the item is touched the hover appears (like if scrolling) then you can add: cursor: pointer; to the element you wish the hover to appear on. Without this iOS only styles :hover events on links.
