The iPhone 11 is powered by the Apple A13 Bionic chip, and if past performance is any indication, Apple's claim of extending its lead over the competition shouldn't be too far away from the truth. Apple is also touting improved battery life and IP68 water resistance up to 2m for 30 minutes with the iPhone 11. It's worth remembering that the iPhone XR is IP67 rated.

But the area where Apple is promising the biggest improvements in the 2019 iPhone lineup is camera. For its part, the iPhone 11 packs dual rear cameras, with the wide f/1.8 aperture 12-megapixel camera backed by the ultra-wide f/2.4 aperture 12-megapixel sensor. The presence of Night Mode is a first for the iPhone lineup, promising a boost to low-light photography similar to ones seen on flagship Google, Huawei, and Samsung smartphones.
