What’s under the hood

Apple has introduced the A13 Bionic chip with iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The chipset has an optimized and efficient processing, thanks to its dedicated neural engine. The company claims that the phone charges 20 percent faster and lasts 5 hours more than its predecessors. The chipset contains four efficient cores, including “machine learning accelerators” that lets the phone perform 1 trillion operations per second. 

The three variants of iPhone 11 come with iOS 13 operating system, which helps you keep the phone more secure and makes it more efficient. The Face ID performs a three-dimensional facial scan so that you can unlock your phone even at tilted angles. The new OS also lets you store photos with added security and privacy.
