The iPhone XS’s camera upgrades (relative to iPhoneX) are largely due to changes in lens size, number of lenses, and focal lengths. For example, pictures taken with the iphone XS appear clearer than the pictures taken with iPhoneX because the iPhone XS a wide-angle sensor (32% larger to be exact), allowing the sensors to get 50% more light. The larger sensor size means more light is reaching the megapixels, so the image is a lot clearer. (https://qz.com/1395779/the-amazing-sorcery-of-the-iphones-newest-cameras/)

@randyfan That's awesome thank you for linking the article, I was reading through it and I think what was really interesting is the software moves that smartphone companies are making a move towards lately. Google, Samsung, and Apple are all trying to increase the way the post process images after taking the picture itself to provide a "better" image for the user. In the same article, they talk about achieving the Bokeh effect by using a neural engine and a new chip that can perform a trillion operations for every photo which sounds insane. It's actually very interesting how much of that article actually makes a lot more sense now from a technical perspective after watching this lecture!
