Upgraded from a normal sized iPhone 12, and its very much just a larger sized version of the previous phone. No faster, doesnt feel like the screen is any better. I find bluetooth is still lacking with its connectivity and options setttings.

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.

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"

The iPhone 14 Plus is Apple’s new super-sized smartphone that takes what was good about the base model 14 , including its more repair-friendly design, and adds a much bigger screen. The 6.7in display provides much more space for watching video, reading messages or simply having bigger text.

Pros: easier and cheaper to repair, better cameras, water resistant, Face ID, very long battery life, good performance, big screen, long software support.

Cons: no USB-C, need your own charger, difficult to use one-handed, no telephoto camera, screen slower than competition and 14 Pro.

The iPhone 14 is better than its predecessor, but it's also more expensive and doesn't have many significant upgrades.

Even faster, with a better camera and more features.

Charger is optional. Lacks telephoto lens. Price has been increased.

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

Bigger doesn't always mean better but there's a lot to love about the iPhone 14 Plus and if you think you want the smaller model, we urge you to reconsider. The iPhone 14 Plus' large display, large form factor and large battery make it a truly excellent choice.

Big and bold display, Solid design, Lightweight for size, Great battery, Great camera performance, Good performance overall

Small chip upgrade over iPhone 13, No ProMotion, No Always-on Display

There’s no dynamic refresh rate: it’s a 60Hz screen. Even so, in most usage, you’ll barely notice that it’s not as fast and smooth as its Pro sibling.

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
