iOS 13 and performance
As ever, Apple's new operating system is shown off to the fullest in its new iPhones โ this time around itโs iOS 13, and the iPhone 11 packs some nifty features as a result.
The first thing we really like is that the OS now has more well-rounded, intelligent mini-notifications. That means that when you switch the phone to silent, or you change the volume, the little element that pops up to tell you what's happening is more useful and also interactive.
It means, for example, that pressing a single volume key brings up a nice slider that you can control with a finger, rather than a box that covers the screen. It sounds minor, but such things will improve the way you interact with your phone day to day.

FaceID has also had a much-needed upgrade โ the field of view of the camera has been improved a fair bit, so you can glance at your phone from your seat and unlock it. While you may still need to move your face closer or lift the phone slightly, it's a big upgrade from what debuted on the iPhone X two years ago.
This feature isnโt the result of new hardware though, and itโll be coming to all iPhones launched in recent years โ itโs just a case of Apple making better use of the information picked up by existing sensors.
A couple of other new features we liked (not exclusive to the iPhone 11, but helpful nonetheless): swipe typing when using the keyboard, new Memoji stickers, and control of the Wi-Fi / Bluetooth options from Control Center.
The new way of typing is great when you're trying to do things one-handed โ while carrying shopping, for instance. The Memoji stickers need to be accessed from the side of the keyboard when composing a missive (they're not easy to see when you first open your messaging app), and offer something more personal: an image of your own face to punctuate your witty prose with pals.
The ability to change Wi-Fi networks from within the Control Center is a really useful one โ now you no longer need to open up the Settings menu to switch.
That's iOS 13 covered, so what about the iPhone 11 itself? The new handset packs Appleโs new A13 Bionic chipset, and โ according to spec leaks โ pairs it with 4GB of RAM.
