scroll down to select and watch the navbar disappear on iOS Safari
you can see that the navbar is changing its appearance on mostly everytime selecting an input field

This is the usual problem where we disable position:fixed when a form element has focus. I'm hoping to improve this behavior soon.

Hi Simon,
it would be OK if the position:fixed is reapplied after closing the input helper 
but sometimes the position:fixed is not reapplied to the elements and therefore they stick to the relative positions of the page. In my case it destroys the whole navigation of the page.
My application is a SPA app and therefore contents of the page are changing while choosing an option of the select element via to iOS Safari input helper. Maybe this has something to do with this misbehaviour.

I think I may have fixed that via bug 150079. It did not make it into iOS 10 though.

This may be fixed in iOS 10.3.

We believe this is now fixed in iOS 10.3 and beyond.
