iPhone 14 Plus Review: Bigger is Better?

Before You Begin: Absolutely Everything Nicholas Rivera Wrote About iPhone 14 in his in-depth analysis, he refers to iphone 14plus. There is not a single technical aspect in which it differs. Same screen technology, same cameras, same chip. So, in this article, we will talk about Yes changes: the size of the device, its larger screen and possible differences in its autonomy.

iphone 14plus it replaces the mini version of Apple’s standard line of smartphones. Last year we had iphone 13 and iphone 13mini. If we wanted to access the largest possible size, we had to upgrade to the Pro version, but in turn, the latter did not have a mini version. This year everything changes:

The iPhone 14 was released in two versions: 6.1 and 6.7 inches, the second was called the iPhone 14 Plus and had the screen size of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. If you’re still interested in the mini version, I’m afraid you’ll have to upgrade to iphone 13mini. But this is not bad news. I will explain later.

The big screen offers advantages that we are all already familiar with. More space to display more items, which I think is especially good when creating content. For example, retouching larger photos is always a good thing. The same goes for videos or social media posting tools.

The large screen is also handy for more comfortable typing on the keyboard. At least in my case. Every time I’ve used a smaller device, I’ve ended up going back to a larger screen, and the 6.7-inch is pretty handy, especially for work.

Otherwise, there is no difference from the iPhone 14. There is absolutely no technical advantage to a larger screen, other than the fact that it is simply larger.

Where there is a noticeable difference between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus is in the battery, which gives more more autonomy. Officially, Apple says it’s capable of up to 26 hours of continuous video playback, compared to the iPhone 14’s 20 hours.

It’s also six hours longer than the iPhone 11 Pro Max and 12 Pro Max I’m mentioning because I’m sure a lot of people will switch from those models.

Of course, that’s less than the 29 hours offered by the iPhone 14 Pro Max, thanks in part to the ProMotion screen. This reflects reality in my testing, but Apple claims that under certain conditions, the iPhone 14 Plus has more autonomy than the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

These states are mostly related to the fact that the screen has not been turned on for too long. Because part of what the Pro does is offer superior battery life thanks to the ProMotion screen. The technology increases or decreases the refresh rate depending on what is displayed. The iPhone 14 Plus does not have this feature.

Who is the iPhone 14 Plus for?

If it doesn’t offer anything substantially superior to the iPhone 14, if most of its internals are the same as the iPhone 13, and we already have an iPhone 14 Plus with a 6.7-inch screen, Who is the iPhone 14 Plus for?

I think he iphone 14plus it makes sense for those who don’t want a professional device with all the features that make the iPhone 14 Pro Max “Pro” and give it a higher price tag. But at the same time, I think if you have an iPhone 13 or even an iPhone 12, I wouldn’t upgrade. I’ll wait for next year’s model.

I also think this device makes more sense for the price in the United States. There it costs $899 in the cheapest version with 128GB of storage. But in Spain, the same smartphone costs 1159 euros, and I think that it is losing its appeal.

When it comes to price, I would go for the iPhone 14 or even the iPhone 13, which is very similar in terms of specifications and costs 909 euros. And that’s the reason I said it’s not necessarily bad news to choose 13 but not fourteen.

So let’s be honest: iPhone 14 should have been called iPhone 13C. And the mini version, although not a bestseller, covers the needs of a sector that is not small and that is looking for high performance smartphones in a reduced size.
