The Super Retina display is also a big addition to the OLED screen and it promises to offer outstanding color and contrast support. The Face ID feature has to be mentioned too which will now allow users to unlock the phone using the TrueDepth camera system. This is a great feature and is expected to provide more security and ease when using the phone.

There’s more:

The 12-megapixel rear camera system comes with a dual optical image stabilization as well as a color filter, and an improved image signal processor for better HDR pictures. It will also deliver the highest quality video capture in a smartphone.

Finally, the A11 Bionic processor is one of the most powerful smartphone chips. It’s a six-core CPU design that will be a lot faster than the previous processors. The A11 Bionic is also an energy efficient high performance processor.
