iPhone 14 Plus - REAL DAY Review (Camera, Display, Battery Test & More!)

The iPhone 14 Plus was released to a lot of criticism about it reusing a lot of the specs as the iPhone 13 Pro, and just being a generally less exciting phone than the iPhone 14 Pro with its new 48 megapixel camera and new design with the dynamic island. However, after using this as my main phone for the past week, I have learned that sometimes it's not all about the specs and that the iPhone 14 Plus has some advantages over the iPhone 14 Pro... but does that still make it worth the hefty $900 price tag?

I had to replace my Pixel 3 recently because it was constantly losing the connection. I wanted the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but that was backordered for 2 weeks! But they had the 14 Plus readily available, so I went with that. And to be honest, I absolutely love it! Love the battery life and the speed. I do have to get a little used to it, but I think that is more because I made a switch from an android phone to an Apple. I recommend the 14 Plus heartily.

Already having an 11 and a 12 mini, I traded a 13 mini I had for a 14 Plus because all size fits me. Sure, it's a HUGE leap, but I've been enjoying the 'poor person's Promax'....This made me go from 'Nobody needs a screen that big' to 'Look at the size of this thing'
It's a quite snappy phone! I especially like the high quality of the camera. And all day battery life! what's not to love?

I updated from Android to this one and jeez I love it, I was getting the 14 pro max but it was not available, two months wait. This one has a great battery, screen is great, camera LOVE IT. Definitely recommend this one.

Upgraded from a 7plus to the 14plus and just wow. Battery life is amazing, had to charge the 7plus about twice or so through the day, the display on the 14 is just so beautiful and the cameras are amazing. Loving it so far, feel free to ask any questions, I would be happy to help.

I’ve been using my iPhone 14 Plus with color Midnight for a week now and I absolutely love it. 4 main reasons for my are 1 screen size, 2 battery life, 3 weight and 4 price. The 100-200USD price difference is huge in the Philippines. I want the newest release not the release last year.

Great review - glad I stumbled across you. I too own the 14 plus - purchased used for £699. I owned the 14 Pro Max then sold, because I kept thinking, my I've spent so much money on this and I'm still not satisfied! This ticks all boxes for me and battery life is phenomenal. I can highly recommend, unless you're a flex and it that case, you won't be happy.

I upgraded from an XR to the 14 plus, and I’m loving it.

I've been using my iphone 8 plus and needing to upgrade for a while. Bit the bullet and finally bought a blue iphone 14 plus. Didn't know it was released until a day before purchasing it. Very happy, battery life is heaps better too. But I miss the home button. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for such crisp & real time analysis 👍🙏

Great video! Nice you admitted to at first following the trend of bashing this phone but then you came to realize it's really a good phone after all. I upgraded from my iPhone 12 Mini to this last week and the battery life alone was so worth the switch. I use my cameras a lot, and the 14 Plus has a great set, especially shooting videos. No regrets at all with this phone!

I’m buying my 14 plus next week coming from a 12pmax it will be my 3rd iPhone purchase the weight the big screen and battery sold me and now I can get it for under $700 through a 3rd party

Lowkey think this phone will be a banger next year

Thanks for your video! It's really helpful.

Enjoyed the video. Good info. I'm coming from an iPhone 6S Plus that still works really well. If iOS16 were an option, I'd keep it. Been thinking...Plus or Pro Max. Do not like the island on Pro models. too low on screen when watch landscape video from what I've seen. If 14 Plus has same modem as 14 Pro Max, then Plus is likely where I am leaning towards.

Love the review, but what is this chill music playing around the 14 min mark? MUST KNOW

Thanks for sharing. I like this style of review very much. Blessings on your day 👍🏻

[charlb]

I enjoy watching your new style of videos Greg! 👍🏻

I upgraded to the Plus from an iPhone 12. The improvements in sound, camera performance and battery life are very noticeable.

[pearlwashere]

i am absolutely in love with my 14 plus!! i wanted an upgrade from my 8 plus since it was starting to die a little too quick for my liking, since i’m an avid phone user like i think most people are these days lol. let’s just say, im on my phone a lot haha. so having a phone with a battery life that lasts me two whole days (depending on the usage on that particular day, could end up being a day and a half) is just awesome honestly!! plus the bigger display/screen is very nice, even if it’s only a wittle bigger than the 8 plus. highly recommend it as an upgrade!!

Don’t get why people keep saying they want this phone to have pro motion and 48mp camera. Then what would be the point of the base models? It would just leave the pro model just get the one you can afford and need for you
