Apple hadn’t used the Plus name since 2017, but it resurrected it in 2022 with the iPhone 14 Plus. Just like before, the new model increases the screen size of the standard one, but keeps the majority of the other technical features in place. It fits in that awkward space between the cheaper iPhone 14 and the slightly more expensive, but superior Pro model. But is there any real reason to buy it? The iPhone 14 Plus is wider, taller, and heavier than the iPhone 14, and the only dimension that stays the same is the thickness at 7.8mm. Made from aluminum and glass, it’s a step down in luxury from the stainless steel and glass Pro models, but with this comes the advantage of low weight. At 203 grams, the iPhone 14 Plus can’t be called light, but it’s lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro and only a few grams heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S22+. My usual iPhone of choice is the iPhone 14 Pro, and I’ve been consistently surprised at how light the iPhone 14 Plus feels when I pick it up, despite the...

Excellent battery life and a large display make the 14 Plus upgrade-worthy

Excellent multiday battery life, Big, bright screen, Light despite its size

Hard to use one-handed or fit in a pocket, Lacks latest features like a 120Hz screen, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

Since the Apple iPhone 14 Plus has a lot in common with the iPhone 14 , our verdict is very similar. The iPhone 14 Plus, too, is an excellent smartphone and a top choice in terms of the design, build quality, display, camera, battery life, and performance.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of frequencies supported, excellent camera, very fast performance, great battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

The iPhone 14 Plus is the outlier in Apple’s 2022 smartphone line-up – but it might just be the easiest one to recommend. This is the only iPhone 14 model that offers something different from what I’ve had before.

Excellent battery life, Light design works well with the big screen, Fast and reliable performance, You want an iPhone that lasts (and lasts): Out of all the iPhone 14 models I’ve reviewed this year, this is the best for battery life.

Some sacrifices for a high price, No ProMotion, No telephoto camera, A fast screen is key: While the iPhone 14 Plus’s screen is bigger, it still lacks some of the skills of the Pro models. There’s no ProMotion for fast refresh rate, for example, which feels a bit of a miss for a phone of this price.
