Text of the video
This is the iPhone 14 plus it's basically the Big Vanilla model of the iPhone 14 lineup it's for people that want that larger form factor but find the pro Max a bit outside of their budget I'm will for GSM Arena and let's see what the iPhone 14 plus has to offer in our full review
Created a new model for this year's iPhone lineup the iPhone 14 plus its claim to fame is that it's big it's the same size as the pro Max but almost 40 grams lighter the plus doesn't bring the pro-grade features like the new Dynamic selfie cutout always on display latest chipset and high-res Main camera instead there's the vanilla feature set which is mostly recycled from last year's iPhones the iPhone 14 plus has a chipset and Main cam which come from the iPhone 13 Pro Max however the screen refresh rate is only 60 hertz instead of the 120 hertz we see on the more expensive models at least this year does bring autofocus to the selfie cam which is welcome except for the size the plus is just like the regular iPhone 14. the design is the same with a flat glass back rounded corners and flat aluminum frame there's full ip68 Ingress Protection too with water resistance to a depth of 6 meters a larger form factor means you get a bigger display than the vanilla model the OLED display is 6.7 inches the same size as the pro Maxes and pretty much the same resolution too you don't have a high refresh rate here though this means that swiping and scrolling on this screen might feel a bit less smooth than on the iPhone Pro Models or high refresh rate Android phones regardless this screen is quite bright we measured a maximum of around 800 nits with the manual brightness slider the same as on the vanilla iPhone 14. there's no extra boost available on top of that but it's plenty with a pixel density of nearly 460 PPI content looks sharp on
The chipset of the iPhone 14 plus is not the latest a16 bionic but it's the a15 bionic from last year's Pro Max which makes it the version which has five GPU cores it may not be the most exciting since we've seen it before but it still provides excellent Benchmark performance on par with last year's iPhone 13 Pro Max especially since they have the same six gigabytes of RAM for storage you get your choice of 128 256 or 512 gigs on board there's no terabyte option like there is on the Pro Models
now let's talk about the interface Apple's new iOS 16. it brings a handful of updates compared to the previous version but nothing too groundbreaking overall the lock screen here doesn't double as an always-on display like it does on the pro Max it's still quite functional
now the focus profiles have the additional functionality to connect your email and messaging apps to filter your messages and notifications right from the source plenty of apps have seen upgrades including FaceTime and the wallet app and there's a new region-specific satellite connection you can use it to contact emergency services if you don't have network coverage finally let's go over the cameras both the iPhone 14 and 14 plus have a 12 megapixel main Cam that comes from the iPhone 13 Pro Max while the 12 megapixel Ultra wide cam is identical to the one on the iPhone 13. this year Apple also brings an update to the HDR image stacking tag
now called photonic engine before it was called Deep Fusion in daylight the 12 megapixel photos from the main cam are great there's plenty of detail low noise and natural looking colors the dynamic range is good but not too wide the quality looks just the same as on the iPhone 14 and pretty similar to all of the recent iPhones actually that includes the over processed look you see in fine details like foliage portrait shots from the main cam are very good with excellent subject separation 12 megapixel photos from the ultra wide camera have a solid amount of detail good contrast and accurate colors the dynamic range is again balanced but not too wide unlike some of the other recent iPhones there's no autofocus on this camera and this means you can't use it to shoot close-ups in low light conditions the iPhone 14 plus will apply night mode processing automatically the photos from the main cam are clean looking and detailed with plenty of detail preserved in Shadows light sources are well controlled too low light photos taken with the ultra
So that's the iPhone 14 plus you get the nice features of the iPhone 14 inside of a larger body with a bigger screen and Battery so could this be a reasonable alternative to the iPhone 14 pro Max I would say sure you do save some cash here but since this phone uses mostly last year's Hardware anyway you could argue that the iPhone 13 Pro Max or is still available is an even better deal for a 10 price premium over the iPhone 14 plus you get an optical zoom camera a 120 hertz screen and better battery life and you'd still be paying 200 Euros less than the asking
The absence of a larger iPhone for the masses has been quite obvious for the last couple of years and it was high time for Apple to answer that call. And it did, in its own way.
