My husband just upgraded to a 14plus from his IPhone 7! It goes to say this is a HUGE upgrade for him! We didn’t want to spend 1200 base price for the 15 pro max which is what Tmobile tried HARD to sell us. He cares nothing much about a phone & just wanted a big screen. I tried to get him a 12 or 13 pro max but none was available & he needed it fast. Was thinking about buying one off of EBay or something but didn’t want the trouble or risk. But anyways, this 14Plus fits many people’s needs & that’s all that matters

Y’all goofy af in the comments lol. Everyone doesn’t want the same phone. For some people the 14 plus is a great choice.

I have the iPhone 14 plus 128gb. In color red I didn’t need a promax or the pro features. I’m happy with my phone.

The plus is awesome but Apple should have at least included 90Hz refresh rate. It would have improved the sales.

This phone covers a niche audience where they want a vanilla 14 in a bigger form factor without the need for the Pro features. This is a better attempt than the Mini phones because more and more people prioritize battery life and bigger screens.

Just brought this iPhone today for $670 on eBay can’t wait for it to come in the mail it’s a good upgrade from my 12 Pro i didn’t care for the 14 Pro Max or the 14 Pro + I didn’t feel like spending $1000s again

Love this phone 3 days of having and the battery last long ! I had the 11pro for 3 years it’s was all messed up and cracked so I had to get another phone ! I was going to get the pro max but they was out of stock I’m impatient and just wanted a fresh screen !

There are 2 things people should know in life.
Number 1. Each year the newest iPhone pro model is the best iPhone in the family but it is not the best phone in the phone market.
Number 2. The human body adjust itself automatically. This is something a lot of people don't understand. Is there better tech available in the tech world yes but it is a subjective yes. Your body once it has become used to a certain set of parameters will feel uncomfortable once it leave that set of parameters but it can adjust itself with time. What does that mean? It mean you can become used to higher refresh rate and higher resolution but if you go back to lower refresh rate or lower resolution it doesn't mean you won't be able to get used to it again. The body will just adjust itself to get used to a new set of parameters again. This is something marketing and businessmen won't tell you. You have to know these by yourself and then learn how to use and master a product fully.

You can chase the best techs of course but you have to also understand it isn't necessary if you don't want it to be.

Basically if you want the 14 plus go with the 13 pro max, nearly same price plus 120 hertz and longer battery life (according to gsm arena basically) edit: forgot to mention also the 13 pro has a better wide angle might not make a difference in daylight but in night you can tell and plus telephoto and better optimized

[GFourGadget]

It's not a bad phone but paying literally flagship prices for a 60Hz display and last year's chipset is not wise. Go for the Pro Max if you want something big, whether 13 or 14

[manofculturecum]

only gsmarena that does proper battery tests

[NdivhuwoMphaphuli]

I neeed advice here which one should i go for next year between iphone 14 plus and Samsung s24 fe

[paulharrison]

This is the iPhone that I want to buy this fall. It has not sold well which is always an opportunity to buy a good phone for a bargain price. It has already being sold for the same price as the regular iPhone 14 and I am sure that it will sell for much less on Black Friday.

[gizmo-addict]

The battery life on 14plus cant be this much less than the 14pm. I have the 14plus and it seems to just go in and on.

[isimsoyisim]

The front camera has terrible auto focus problem.

Looking to upgrade to my very first iPhone will this be a good starting device battery life is what I'm looking for camera's are not necessary a big deal for me Samsung S22+ battery life average at best

[Andyhandle]

The iPhone 14 has improved audio out from the lightning socket for wired IEMs (I have lighting wired IEMs). Do you know if the iPhone 14 plus has the same improved audio out conaore to the iPhone 13?

[TombRaider]

I have never bought pro models in my life but this time when i upgrade from xr, freaking apple forced me to get a pro model by not updating processor. Anyways personally I don't like pro because it's heavy in hand, some say it's good and premium feel but I just love how light regular Iphone 14 is compared to pro.

[dahuman]

Im happy with my 14 plus. Upgraded from the xr, i dont care about 120hz
