Display and design

Apple iPhone 11 is identical to iPhone XR in terms of design. Both measure 150.9mm x 75.7mm x 8.3mm and weigh around 194 grams. The front has the same 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD display along with glass and aluminum design. The back panel, however, looks quite different, thanks to a square camera module on the new model.

Camera

Apple iPhone 11 comes with dual 12-megapixel ultra-wide and wide-angle cameras with f/2.4 aperture and f/1.8 aperture respectively. Along with an additional hardware sensor, Apple iPhone 11 also offers a dedicated Night Mode and Auto Adjustments feature. It has 2x optical zoom along with Portrait Mode with six effects.

It also doesn't have an optical zoom, and three Portrait Lighting effects. For selfies, Apple iPhone XR has a 7-megapixel TrueDepth camera.
