Specifications
Overview
The Apple iPhone 14 Plus brought a large 6.7-inch display to Apple’s standard iPhone lineup. It was aimed at users who wanted a bigger screen and longer battery life without paying for the additional camera and display features of a Pro Max.
It uses the same general design language as the iPhone 14, with flat aluminum edges, Ceramic Shield on the front and a glass back.
Inside is Apple’s A15 Bionic processor with a 5-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine. The phone also features a dual-camera system, 5G, Face ID, MagSafe and IP68 water and dust resistance.
Design
The iPhone 14 Plus features a Ceramic Shield front, glass back and aluminum frame. Despite its large display, it weighs 203 grams, making it slightly lighter than some similarly sized Pro models.
Its dimensions are:
160.8 × 78.1 × 7.80 mm
Apple released the phone in six colors:
Midnight | Purple | Starlight | (PRODUCT)RED | Blue | Yellow
The design retains the familiar notch rather than the Dynamic Island found on the iPhone 14 Pro series.
Performance
The iPhone 14 Plus is powered by Apple’s A15 Bionic chip, featuring:
6-core CPU
2 performance cores + 4 efficiency cores
5-core GPU
16-core Neural Engine
Although the A15 Bionic originated with the iPhone 13 generation, the iPhone 14 Plus uses the 5-core GPU configuration and continues to provide strong performance for everyday applications, gaming, photography, video editing and multitasking.
Storage configurations include:
128GB | 256GB | 512GB
There is no microSD card slot.
Camera Experience
The iPhone 14 Plus uses a dual-camera system consisting of a 12MP Main camera and 12MP Ultra Wide camera.
12MP Main Camera
The Main camera has a 26mm focal length, Æ’/1.5 aperture and sensor-shift optical image stabilization.
12MP Ultra Wide Camera
The Ultra Wide camera uses a 13mm focal length, Æ’/2.4 aperture and provides a 120-degree field of view.
Apple’s computational photography features include Photonic Engine, Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 4, Night mode, Portrait mode and Photographic Styles.
The camera provides up to 2x optical zoom out and digital zoom up to 5x.
While it lacks the dedicated Telephoto and 48MP Main cameras found on the iPhone 14 Pro models, the camera system remains well suited to everyday photography.
Front Camera
The iPhone 14 Plus features a 12MP TrueDepth front camera.
It supports features such as Portrait mode, Night mode, Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 4 and 4K video recording.
The TrueDepth camera system is also responsible for Face ID, which provides biometric authentication for unlocking the phone and authorizing supported transactions and apps.
Video Recording
The iPhone 14 Plus is capable of high-quality video recording, including 4K Dolby Vision HDR.
It also includes Cinematic mode and Action mode.
Cinematic mode allows users to create videos with depth-of-field effects, while Action mode provides enhanced stabilization for handheld footage involving significant movement.
For casual creators, social-media users and everyday family videos, the iPhone 14 Plus remains a capable video device.
Battery Experience
Battery life is one of the strongest characteristics of the iPhone 14 Plus.
Apple rates it for:
Video playback: Up to 26 hours
Streamed video playback: Up to 20 hours
Audio playback: Up to 100 hours
It supports MagSafe wireless charging up to 15W and Qi wireless charging up to 7.5W.
Apple also states that the device is fast-charge capable, reaching up to 50% charge in around 30 minutes with a compatible 20W or higher adapter under its specified testing conditions.
Software
The iPhone 14 Plus originally launched with iOS 16.
It supports Apple’s broader ecosystem, including Face ID, Apple Pay, iCloud, AirDrop, Siri, Find My, MagSafe accessories and integration with devices such as the Apple Watch, Mac, iPad and AirPods.
It also introduced safety-related features including Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via satellite in supported countries and regions.
Connectivity
The iPhone 14 Plus supports 5G, Gigabit LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, Ultra Wideband and NFC.
It uses a Lightning connector for wired charging and accessories rather than USB-C.
Apple iPhone 14 Plus Price in USA
The iPhone 14 Plus originally entered Apple’s US lineup with a starting price of $899 for the 128GB version.
Because it is now an older-generation device, current prices depend significantly on storage, retailer, carrier, condition and whether the phone is new, renewed or pre-owned.
For PriceBatao, it makes more sense to treat the current price as a variable market price rather than presenting its original launch MSRP as today’s retail price.
Apple iPhone 14 Plus Price in Canada
The iPhone 14 Plus remains available in Canada through various third-party and refurbished-device sellers.
Pricing varies according to the 128GB, 256GB or 512GB storage configuration and whether the device is new, refurbished or used.
For refurbished devices, buyers should compare battery health, warranty coverage and physical condition alongside price.
Apple iPhone 14 Plus Price in Australia
The iPhone 14 Plus can also be found through Australian retailers and refurbished or pre-owned marketplaces.
Its current value depends heavily on storage capacity and device condition.
Buyers considering a used model should check battery health, display condition, Face ID functionality, camera performance and whether the device has undergone previous repairs.
Comparison Against Competitors
iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 14
The biggest difference is screen size and battery life.
The iPhone 14 Plus has a 6.7-inch display, while the standard iPhone 14 uses a smaller 6.1-inch screen. Both use the A15 Bionic chip and similar dual-camera systems.
The Plus is therefore aimed primarily at buyers who want a larger viewing experience.
iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 14 Pro Max
Both phones provide a large 6.7-inch display, but their feature sets are substantially different.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max adds the A16 Bionic chip, ProMotion up to 120Hz, Always-On display, Dynamic Island, a 48MP Main camera and a dedicated Telephoto camera.
The iPhone 14 Plus uses a 60Hz display, A15 Bionic and dual 12MP cameras, but has a lighter aluminum construction
iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 13 Pro Max
The iPhone 13 Pro Max is an older Pro device but includes features absent from the 14 Plus, notably a 120Hz ProMotion display and Telephoto camera.
The iPhone 14 Plus, meanwhile, is lighter and belongs to a newer generation, with features such as Photonic Engine, Action mode and Crash Detection.
Which is more suitable depends largely on current used/refurbished pricing and whether ProMotion and the Telephoto camera matter to the buyer.
FAQ
No. The iPhone 14 Plus uses a 60Hz display and does not include Apple’s ProMotion technology.
Our Analysis
Our Take on the iPhone 14 Plus
The iPhone 14 Plus occupies an interesting position in Apple’s lineup because its main selling point isn’t a Pro camera or processor—it’s the large 6.7-inch display combined with strong battery life.
For users who primarily watch videos, browse, use social media, make video calls and play games, the extra screen space can make a noticeable difference compared with a standard 6.1-inch iPhone.
Where the iPhone 14 Plus Makes Sense
The iPhone 14 Plus makes the most sense for someone who wants a large iPhone but doesn’t specifically need Pro features such as a Telephoto camera, ProMotion or a 48MP Main camera.
Its 203g weight is also worth considering. Despite having a 6.7-inch display, its aluminum construction keeps it lighter than the stainless-steel Pro Max models of the same era.
Value for Money
Its value today depends heavily on the price difference between the iPhone 14 Plus and newer large-screen iPhones.
A competitively priced refurbished or pre-owned 14 Plus can still offer a large OLED display, capable A15 Bionic performance, strong battery endurance and reliable cameras.
When buying used, battery health should be one of the first things checked, followed by Face ID, display condition, camera operation and repair/parts history.
