Upgrading from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone 11 will bring improvements in almost all aspects of the phone. To start, you’ll be getting the newer A13 Bionic Chip with third-generation Neural Engine, and double the RAM, going from 2GB in the iPhone 8 to 4GB in the iPhone 11. The display size also increases from a 4.7-inch Retina HD display to a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD display, and the options for internal storage goes up to 256GB. Other highlights include going from an IP67 rating on the iPhone 8 to an IP68 rating on the iPhone 11, along with a shift from Touch ID to Face ID. The iPhone 11 also has an improved camera setup with a 12MP TrueDepth camera on the front, and dual 12MP ultra-wide and wide-angle cameras with Night Mode on the back.
