Core Data v.s. SQLite

[Batman]

is core data pretty much just an updated version of SQLite? or are there differences? if so, could you mention them?

They are completely different concepts. CoreData is a data managment system. SQLite is one of the database backends the CoreData can use (XML is another).

CoreData is based on 'managed objects' and a 'managed object context' (the object graph). It manages the relationships and properties of objects, and manages writing changes to the database back end for your objects.
