Under the hood, the new A19 chip is faster as well as more optimized, particularly when combined with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll notice a huge bump in speed and better gaming performance thanks to ProMotion.
About the camera, you will find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) and a 2x telephoto lens. The ultra-wide camera also gets an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography sharper and more detailed.
