Is it true that the iPhone 11 now has 4gb of RAM (compared to 3gb of RAM in the XR)?

And is the reception of the Intel chip in the 11 better than the XR?

Any help or feedback would be appreciated.
 
Anyone? I want to pull the trigger on this bad boy but I was hoping to have these questions answered first.
 
The modem is not the issue. The antenna design is the issue. Last year the Xr and Xs versions all had the same intel modem, but the Xr had better reception due to better antenna design. I doubt there is any improvement this year.

It's a combination. Even the Xr wasn't that great, and had issues reconnecting to LTE. The X was never as good as the 8, Qualcomm or Intel, but for each model, the Qualcomm model was much better than the Intel model.
 
Apple added UWB antennas to the iPhone 11, so it's unlikely the left the old cellular antenna design untouched. All the antennas for BT, Wi-Fi, UWB, cellular, have to work together.

RAM = increased
Modem = updated
Antennas = very likely updated
