Apple brought back the Plus name in 2022 with the iPhone14Plus, but are there better options in the range?
Apple iPhone 14 Plus MSRP $899.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The big screen and two-day battery life make the excellent iPhone 14 Plus tempting, but it's not compelling enough to withstand the challenge from the superior iPhone 14 Pro, or the bargain nature of the iPhone 14.” Pros Cons Apple hasn’t used the Plus name since 2017, but it has resurrected it in 2022 with the iPhone 14 Plus.
The flat sides aren’t the most ergonomic choice for a smartphone, despite looking superb, and the iPhone 14 Plus is quite slippery. I grip it more because it doesn’t always feel secure in my hand, at which point it rapidly starts to get fatiguing because it’s quite sharp. It’s difficult to find a happy medium with the bigger phone. Only you can decide if the trade-off of having the bigger screen is worth the downside of a heavier, more cumbersome body.
Put the iPhone 14 Plus alongside the iPhone 14 Pro watching a 2160p YouTube video, and you’d expect to see some differences, but the truth is you can’t. It has basically the same panel with a beautiful warm tone, wonderful blacks, and deep contrast levels. Both get seriously bright, but the 14 Plus lacks the boost to a higher brightness in sunlight. It’s not something that kicks in all the time, but when it does work, it’s a major advantage.
iPhone 14 Plus camera The iPhone 14 Plus shares the same 12-megapixel main camera and 12MP wide-angle camera system as the iPhone 14, while on the front is another 12MP camera for selfies. The main and selfie cameras have been upgraded over the ones fitted to the iPhone 13, with larger apertures and, for the selfie camera, autofocus too. The wide-angle sensor is the same one as you got on the iPhone 13.
The camera on the iPhone 14 Plus is a safe choice. It reliably takes strong photos during the day, and good photos when the light starts to disappear. If you want to take photos when it’s really dark, and want to avoid the iPhone’s overexposure, then the Pixel 7 is a better choice. If you prefer a more saturated look and value selfies, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a great alternative, and I really like Samsung’s filters and editing suite too. It’s one of the few to challenge the iOS camera software.
The other aspect that makes it easy to own is how it connects and interacts with other Apple devices, whether it’s automatically opening the keyboard to make entering passwords on Apple TV easier, or the fast, reliable long-distance Bluetooth connection with my AirPods Max. It’s wonderfully hassle-free. It’s an almost perfect example of how I want my technology to be: Powerful, versatile, and convenient. The iPhone 14 Plus is all three of these things.
Although I don’t use it regularly, FaceTime is an excellent video chat service if your friends also own an iPhone. Face ID works in most lighting conditions and opens the phone to the home screen promptly. You get MagSafe charging, which is well supported by third-party accessory makers. And — best of all — you can use an Apple Watch with your iPhone 14 Plus.
At the moment, the iPhone 14 Plus’ battery is good enough for two days of use, and I believe this could be the case with at least 30 minutes gaming on both days and normal video, camera, and app use around it. That’s better than the iPhone 14, and it’s really looking like the main reason for recommending the 14 Plus over it.
The 6.1-inch iPhone 14 starts at $799 and the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro starts at $999, and both are very strong competitors to the iPhone 14 Plus, which sits quite awkwardly between them. If you want a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max, it starts at $1,099. It’s a big jump, but it’s a big phone and is really the best of all worlds, providing the big screen of the 14 Plus and all the extra tech in the 14 Pro.
