| + | [* black] Apple boasted some small but worthwhile battery life improvements this year for the iPhone 11 (the Pro models got a bigger bump, but the XR was already ahead of the game in that arena, so the iPhone 11’s improvements are more subtle). |
| [* black] This year’s battery measures 40.81 x 96.93 x 3.97 mm, and weighs 44.1 g. | |
| [* black] Compared to the XR’s battery, it’s ever so slightly smaller, but its capacity is 3110 mAh, which is about 7% more. That’s not huge, but probably accounts of the supposed hour bump the iPhone 11 gets over last year’s iPhone XR. | |
