I just think the 14 Plus is perfect. If you're a regular person who wants a regular phone, but bigger, this is an amazing option. I don't like the dynamic island because it's too distracting. I don't care about the 48MP camera sensor. I just want the best battery life possible and a bigger screen to enjoy my time in TH-cam ⭐
Exactly not everybody is a tech freak. I think the 14 plus is a great medium between the current lineup.
Best battery life is on the Pro Max 🤣🤣🤣
It depends if you're a heavy user or not. I don't need the Pro Max to have a great battery life
@@Davesounds I didn’t say you need a Pro Max to have great battery life. However, if you want the “*BEST*” battery life, then the Pro Max is the way to go
@@SlyCooperRN actually the 14 plus is advertised as the best battery life:
I think a BIG part to the equation is: WHAT PHONE ARE YOU UPDATING FROM?. Buying the 14 plus when coming from a 7 plus is still a huge upgrade in almost every way. Screen size, camera quality, processing speeds, emergency features, display quality. If you already own an I phone 13, there’s no REAL reason to upgrade to the equivalent models in the 14 lineup. Expecting revolutionary changes to every new I phone model that comes out is not a realistic expectation nor is it sustainable. Upgrades seem to be more meaningful to the buyer when they upgrade their phone every 2-3 years.
Agreed. I have upgraded from 7 plus and it’s fantastic. 14 pro max might be better in many aspects but the thing I care about is BATTERY LIFE and believe me it’s battery life is just ULTIMATE today I had to travel in a hot day charged it till 80% and now it’s 22% after constant use of maps,TH-cam,camera,calling for 10+ hours it’s still at 22 which will get me through tomorrow’s entire day on low power mode if I have no outlet and got stuck.. so in conclusion all the reviews are just making us spend extra for stuff we don’t really need… so just GO FOR WHAT YOU WANT!
@@iamMohak_21 couldn’t agree more with your statement
If you get a 14 plus for $900
You are a F-ool
No two ways about it
No zoom, a dim display and 60hz in late 2022 is Daylight Robbery
If you think a 120hz is a "pro" feature or a gimmick, you just drank Apple's kool aid
You don't know what you are missing
A 120hz is much more useful on a device you scroll a lot on than on a tablet or a monitor
I have used 5 iPhones and 3 Androids
A $400 android phone in 2022 feels much much smoother and faster than the 14 plus due to 120 hz
Don't be a sucker
Get a 13 pro max if you don't want android
@@Phoenix-King-ozai the argument of getting a 13 pro max goes out the window if you can’t find one. Apple doesn’t make them anymore so you would be left with getting a refurbished or used phone which is still risky.
I’ll also add that there are some people who don’t need the extra features and would rather save the 200 bucks over getting a 14 pro. Having the 14 plus in the lineup just means more options. Something to be happy about IMO.
@@GoWrightReviewsyeah and the weight of the 14 plus is attractive compared to the Pro max as well.
Got my powder blue iPhone 14 Plus a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it! Excellent photos/videos, 6.7” beautiful OLED display, excellent battery life, don’t care about the Dynamic Island or premium camera modules/sensors, etc. I traded-in my iPhone SE 2022 and my iPhone 13 mini and am GLAD I DID SO!!
What are your views on its low refresh rate? I've heard it's really noticeable and is kind of a turn off.
No one cares that you wasted money. The 13 pro max does everything want but even more and cheaper
I purposely think the mini was too small. It’s good but it feels almost toy like. I wish they just brought back the exact size of the iPhone X and call it the mini
@@pranavpatkiyou can notice the difference if youre already using a phone with 120. İf you are not, you can notice no difference
@@tek1645but the 14 plus is faster, has a better battery, AND weighs less than the 13 pro. The 13 pro isn’t as good.
I recently bought 14 plus and I am loving it. No complaints so far. A big screen and bigger battery is a big advantage. The mini was a ridiculously small phone.
Hey, how has the battery held up? I’m currently using a 12 pro and looking to upgrade to it.
And also, has the size been an issue?
I got the 14 plus black 256GB when it launched here in Romania, I will say it’s the perfect phone for someone like me because I am a lawyer, I used to dread buying a pro max to read real time on the go legal documents, to use maps, bounce emails on the go. I am in the apple ecosystem with a watch 5 cellular, an ipad air 4 and a macmini from the intel days and the 14 plus is my upgrade from my Xs Max. I need the battery to be there for me, overkill battery, heck I have a battery bank in my backpack just in case. But for a high stress intensive job like mine the light design, big screen, amazing battery is the perfect fit and I am really happy I don’t have to shell out another couple of benjamins extra to get the 14 pro max.
So glad I saw your comment despite all the negative comments for plus. I'm a law student and iphone 14 plus suits me. Since I dont need all the extras in a pro max and dont like carrying an ipad but needed something handy enough that I can still read cases and other reading materials comfortably.
You bought a dud dude. They can’t give this piece of overpriced junk away!
Did anything about the XS Max let you down and make you feel the need to upgrade? Especially since battery degradation can be addressed with a swap.
@@paulpham7806 it doesn’t compare, the xs max is now obsolete as far as scanning documents and photos, but it’s still a good phone would recomnend
@@Tony-lp2nk it's honestly crazy how stupid Apple customers can be. Luckily not all of us are morons which is why this phone is selling very poorly
As someone who has been using 6.7 sized phones for the last 5 years I can't imagine going back to a smaller screen and I don't have a grand to drop on a Pro Max.
As someone who is hard of hearing and wears hearing aids everyday, I really appreciate the accessibility on this phone. I think it’s one of those features that gets overlooked all the time and now I can have access throughout most platforms without having to rely on my speaker, wearing my hearing aids or reading lips. I can’t wait to mess with it more 🎉
I have 14plus and I love it
Glad I got the plus. Can't wait for it to arrive. I didn't want the pro max bc dynamic island seems really annoying.
Love my 14 plus! Screen size and battery life was most important to me. Saved $200 going with it over a 14pm and $100 over a 13pm.
Just saying you really didn’t save money if you spent $900 for a phone with worse specs than its pro counterpart, which is only $100 more and comes with WAY more features
@@lacosta0892 some people put money down on a new iPhone they keep their iPhone 2 or 3 years they finish paying off their iPhone some people might upgrade to a new iPhone or they will keep their old iPhone longer
@@lacosta0892 a bigger screen than the pro is a feature too
@@itrig7679 not really man, you can get the same size screen from a 13 Pro Max for the same price (and in some cases, even a little bit cheaper)
I always feel that I'm holding a small book when holding my 14pm. The dynamic island sometimes bothers me, sometimes it doesn't. Depends on what I'm doing with the phone.
Didn’t get the plus but have the 13pm which has similar battery life. And it really does make a difference in marginal semi emergency situations. For example I work back to back 12 hour shifts, so I will routinely forget to plug in my phone and wake up to a dead battery and have no time to charge in the morning. More battery life gives me more leeway and means I don’t have to carry around a power bank.
Traded 10R for the 14 plus. It was a great upgrade.
Bro I thinking about it rn
@@RandomDude-nk8zf it’s worth it. I traded in my XR for 400$ off. And got the plus for 600$
That is the exact upgrade I have been considering.
I think the more leftover battery left at the end of the day yet still being charged to full equals to less battery cycle as it will be spread out throughout few days. Hence it stays at 100% battery health for longer
Sad that they axed the mini.
Now im torn if I should go for the 13 mini or the 14 pro.
Currently using 12 mini and I love it except for weekends with heavy usage.
I love the iphone 14 plus and i will get it soon 🔜 🔜
Thanks for sharing! My AT&T plan gives up to $800 towards an iPhone if you turn in your old one and sign up for an incredibly long unlimited data plan. We decided to get the iPhone Plus for one of my kids and for both of my wife's parents. The only real requirement for all of them was the largest screen so the SC would not work.
I'm fine with my iPhone Mini 13 (RIP mini). If I get my wish, the Mini shell will become the SC base in the next couple of years.
Great ideas do those
You realize that they aren't giving you a phone for free. You are posting for it in your plan and being locked in for 3 years. It's not a good deal.
It’s great if you’re fine with who you have for a carrier. The plus on AT&T is actually $5 a mo and doesn’t require a trade. However, I’m paying a slight difference for my 13 pro max by trading a XS Max.
@@gregg7363 really? I thought it did. Like didn’t you have to trade in your device to get bill credits in order for the bill to cost that
Just swapped iPhone 13 mini for 14 plus and I love it. Was nervous as such a fan of mini but such a great choice abs battery life brilliant
I have the 13 plus and love it but thinking of switching to 14 plus but so nervous but I need better battery . Is the weight difference huge ?
@@samanthastone6091 hi. I think it’s still so light when compared to pro max. I’m pleased with choice
And you never miss your 13 mini?
@@samanthastone6091 not at all. I bought from apple so i knew i had 14 days to return if didn’t like it
Thats a realy good choise man cheers
Coming from a XS Max, my new (also red) 14 Plus is quite an upgrade, especially the battery life. I definitely understand the hesitation of consumers who own more recent models to go for the practically unchanged from last year 14s.
I switched carriers and I have a E-Sim. I went from T-Mobile to Verizon and didn’t loose my contacts. You can ask the carrier you’re switching to port the number from your current carrier.
i think with how the 14plus handles its battery power, the overall health and life of the battery will last a a lot longer, letting 14plus users keep their phone longer.
i pretty much use my ipad for anything my phone can do since i work from home. i just need phone for calls and literally nothing else.
even when i go out, i have a work phone that does everything my iphone can do minus notability.
i think the 14 plus is going to age with style and grace
"I value battery life above everything else." I could've sworn you said the iPhone 13 mini was your favorite iPhone, ever. Not gonna judge you either way. Last year I finally ditched my iPhone 6s and got a 13 mini and I absolutely love the living bejesus out of it. There is no right or wrong iPhone, that's why the lineup is so big, so there's something for everyone! :-)
He also said usability. So may be iPhone 13 mini has the best usability and battery for him
14 pro max is better😂
Yeah he did say Mini was the best phone for him.
I think he’s said before if the mini had a longer battery life then that’s the one he would stick with.
He literally said he loves it but the battery life isn’t good.
2:39 I charge my phone each night and having been that guy who finds out his charger cord is messed up, I could see myself appreciating the extra battery power.
Battery life is impressive af! Happy purchase
whoa that red one is so georgeous....
Just as a test I used my iPhone 14 plus like usual and didn’t have to charge it until the 2 and a half day mark, it reached 1% then I charged it, but it took a while, and I do use my phone quite a lot for just about everything.
I solde my 13 pro max to replace it by the 14 plus and it's the best move i have never done! 14 plus is lighter, has a very good battery and colours of standards iphone are more interesting! I don't need extra fonctions of the pros, so long life to the plus iphones i hope! I bought the purple 💜
Can you tell us about the difference with the battery life of both the 13 pro max vs 14 plus?
You played yourself by doing that
Nice review
That red is AMAZING and I’m jealous I can’t get a Pro Max in that color. It burns your retinas. 😍
Alas, the 13 mini's sales stunk and that's why Apple cancelled it.
Hey, thanks for the video. Can you agree with you the 14+ is kind of priced weird … to add one more thing that Apple got rid of the regular Sim card and made iPhone 14‘s only eSIM kept me from upgrading it’s all guess I’ll be keeping my iPhone 13 for quite a while. I have a smaller phone that I used for runs and so I don’t want to get a second number just for runs it that’s a waste so I swap my Sim card out on the weekends when I go for my long runs, I guess I’ll be all right. Won’t be upgrading very soon.
Well I just got the 14 plus I upgraded from the 11pro max and it was a great upgrade
I’m with you about the ‘ Notch ‘, I like it. To me, the Notch represents an iPhone ! it’s the signature look of a modern iPhone. And on the 13 & 14, it’s smaller. I have the 2020 SE, which doesn’t have a Notch, and I love that too, but if I upgrade, I want my Notch 😂👍
Notch is woefully outdated by today’s standards. Every other smartphone manufacturer has moved on from it, much like they did when thick bezels became a thing of the past. It’s time to get rid of it entirely and work towards a display with no intrusions whatsoever
I always wanted a regular , plus-size iPhone since I don't actually use the tripple-camera setup. but the pricepoint is way off here. The 14 Plus competes with last years iPhone 13 Pro Max and what is the most important thing when at the first glance of the device. It's the screen so no having 120 Hz on the 14 Plus is a mistake and that is also one of the reason why I think the 14 Plus will be the least sold iPhone in this years lineup.
Not a tech freak so the red color was enough for me to want a 14 Plus . Don’t care too much about extra performance. My 14 Plus arrives Monday 🥳
I will upgrade my iPhone to the iPhone 17 but not sure pro or standard
Got the 6s then the xs now I JUST got the 14 plus omg my cellular provider basically threw it at me at the price and it’s perfect! Especially since my old phone just died of old age..
I love my iPhone 14 Plus I traded in my iPhone 13PM for it.
Generally I agree with most of your reviews. But, I think you totally missed the mark here as a review for the “general” public. Specifically, your issue with the 14+ is that it does not have all the bells and whistles that the next two upgrades do. I just went from the 12 mini to the 14+ and am totally satisfied. I don’t need promotion, 48 mp cameras, 2X zoom and a super fast chip (16 is not really that much faster than the 15, in reality) and the average person would never see the difference. And, battery life is important. I hate having to put a phone on a charger several times a day to keep using it. And, oddly enough, most “reviewers” of the 14+ bash it on price, rather than overall performance. BTW, my phone is costing me $3 a month.
I just bought two iPhone 14 Plus phones, one for myself and one for my wife. I would have gotten the iPhone 14 Pro Max instead, but they are no where to be found at stores, including at Apple Stores, and they have a minimum 1 month wait time. Since we both needed a phone right away, our Apple Stores only had iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Plus models available. I chose to get the iPhone 14 Plus 256GB models, to give us plenty of battery life and memory for the future. It seems like Apple can't make enough of the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Models currently. Overall very happy with the iPhone 14 Plus. Price is high, but that's likely due to inflation and higher costs. I view my iPhone as an investment, as it is essential for my business. If I just needed a cheap iPhone, I would buy an iPhone SE. Hopefully the next iPhone SE will have a bigger screen and larger battery to appeal to more people, and fill that low cost segment.
Just out of curiosity, why didn’t you go for the iPhone 13 Pro instead? You would have ended up paying less for so much more
13pro max better !!
@@western440 the iPhone 13 Pro Max is more expensive than the iPhone 14 plus 😅
@@JustBlight_ 13 pro has smaller screen and small battery than 14 plus
@@zeusx6479 the 13 pro has gone through a lot of battery testing by a lot of different TH-camrs and managed to last an entire day even on heavy usage. And how is the 6.1 inch 13 pro considered “small” when furthermore the average user either has an iPad/tablet, laptop, or a television at home. At this point you might as well put one of those 3 giants in your pocket if you feel you need a plus or a pro max iPhone
13PM. Maybe upgrade to the 15. Not a chance on the 14PM because my 13PM is still out of the box fast with zero issues. 94% battery health, charge every night and I have owned it for over a year.
I agree not everyone is getting one of IPhone 14 series and me and my nephew is upgrade to one of IPhone 15 series in 2023 we still have IPhone 12
Damn your logic about 15 plus hours of battery life makes so much sense!!! That was one reason I always thought that I made a mistake going with the 14
I am using it too , and its a great phone
Great video
this phone is awesome i got the midnight (navy) and its hand down the best iPhone I've ever had!
I love my 13 Mini, and I got it for ~$400 lightly used
So, they claim the battry life 20hour, so its test with data on 5G or with only wifi? how much percent brightness? after that they can claim as much as the result get.. why we need turn on off setting when setting up new iphone because if battery life
I agree with the notch, although I kinda wish they just widened the notch to make it a slim bezel.
The biggest issue with the mini is the battery. So kinda makes sense that they stopped it. Like what’s the point if your battery health gets below 90 within a year ? However yeah, the 14 line up is priced way too steep.
Will the mini make a comeback?
16 mini? 🤞
I Love my 14 plus
haha, I like notch better. I bought the 14 in red. I like lighter also!
You talked me into the iPhone 13 mini in your last video and it's what will replace the old iPhones in our house when the time comes. The 14 lineup doesn't really interest me at all.
I got the 14 plus. I would have got the 13 pro max if I can get renewed but something like that not exist in my country. We only have used one. So if you value battery life then the 14 plus is the best value I can get.
I love my 14 Pro definitely not complaining especially with the new Software update
GOD I REALLY MISS YOUR DRONE VIDEOS REALLY WISH IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO THEM
I’m loving my iPhone SE ! A perfect size and price for an iPhone. The battery however, 😬 not so much !
To be fair having used it he iPhone 14 plus is a really good phone, the two things that lets it down is the camera only has 5x digital zoom which is rather poor at the price point and second is I totally agree for a base model phone with a larger screen it is a £100 (in the UK) too much for what it is
I upgraded my 13 to a 14 plus, great battery life and a bigger screen.
Are there stutters on the plus. I'm hearing some lag and stutters occur on the phone but I'm not if it only affects pro models
im getting this phone tomorrow and i need help deciding which phone case to get
I so called upgraded it from the 11 mainly for the larger display, oled screen, camera, faceid with mask, battery. 😂 I would say the speakers are very loud.
iPhone 14 Plus makes sense as the carrier incentive phone. ATT has the 128gb for $180.
I bought the 14 plus on launch weekend October 8th and I traded in my 12 mini that i had for almost 2 years. Now the 12 mini was a great little iPhone and it served me well even with the small battery 🔋 life. But I’ve had a few iPhones and by far this is a battery 🔋 champ I get 2 days at least on a charge which is great. Everyone trashes on the 14 plus because of whatever reason which is there own just like everyone did to both the 12 mini and the 13 mini. Which cause the fall of both iPhones and it will happen to this one as well cancel culture strikes again.
If you love Iphone and want to get one, 14 plus is better than 14…better screen real estate and much much better battery !
I have the iPhone 14 Plus in red with 128gb. I love the battery power, camera etc. I don’t need a pro iPhone because I don’t use the pro features.
same purple tho

Love the idea of the Plus, hate the fact it killed the Mini. If they could all exist, I'd love it. Curious if they will make the mini a rotational item or maybe put it in as the new SE body style and raise the price. I love the form factor of the Mini and it fits my life perfectly.
I got the 14 Plus for $640 (plus tax & shipping adding an extra) new so maybe not a bad deal after all.
I’m really curious how this one will hold up I have a 14pm and the battery life for me is great and that’s with aod and medium to heavy use and a brighter screen so I can only imagine what the 14 plus is like with a 60hz screen and not as bright good video I got a co worker that has one and he loves it
The mini series didn’t sell enough because that’s a niche audience. Generally speaking, people like big bright screens. As far as getting the 14 plus over the 13 pro max, I can see why people would steer toward the 13 pro max, but you also get lesser trade in value, and it’ll soon be out of date for iOS updates. I have the 14 Plus coming from an XR and I love it. I’m big on battery life. I wouldn’t have a need for pro max features unless they get rid of the upcoming plus series and now that I’ve tried the bigger 6.7 inch screen I CANNOT go back to a smaller iPhone.

I bought the 14 plus say goodbye to dynamic island. The notch fits perfect with the screensize. And the colours are more real than the 15. Plus I dont need usb C, and if you do go back to android xD
I'm still glad I didn't upgrade from the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Next year, I will get the latest model
Next year when the new iPhone releases and if the price drops, this phone will be a good option.
You can always carry a powerbank?
I like the color
You are spot on when you said Apple should have shifted the 6.1" 14 to $699 and the 14 Plus to $799. That would have made all the difference! I mean, Apple recycled so much of the iPhone 13's parts that they could have done it. Even the Apple Watch SE2 saw a price reduction, so why not with whats basically an iPhone 13s?
yep, but apple wouldnt do that cuz all they care about is money 😢
If you look at the comments, you’ll find out that 90% of the people in this thread don’t know anything about specs or pricing, and they just believe all the bs Apple tells them to convince them that the 14 plus is great for saving money, all while being a terrible value for $900
I sold my 12 Mini to get the 13 Pro for the 120Hz display and better battery life... while the 13 Pro is amazing it is super heavy and not comfortable to use. I Do miss the 12 Mini so much. sometimes I think maybe I should sell the Pro and get the 13 Mini.
Just do it
I got the 14 plus blue . 14 plus with glass in the bank just looks better then 14 pro max . It wasn’t about the 100 dollars .
Should I go for the 14 or 14 Plus???
I think it should last longer if you're like me who takes a lot of videos and pbotos when going out. my 13 cant last the whole day.
Is upgrading from iPhone 12 Pro to iPhone 14 plus worth it?
I picked up this iPhone 14 plus myself not for $899 670 sounded more realistic to me and I’m happy with the that purchase can’t wait for it to come in the mail starlight version 128 GB space unlocked so I agree with you every day dead 899 is way out of anybody’s price range
Where do you get your wallpapers?
Umm If you have heavy usage and a large screen-on time, wouldn't having bigger battery be better???
I have a 14 pro max. I love the larger display, battery life, and the high refresh rate screen. I have nystagmus that gets a lot worse on lower refresh rate devices (like 60 hz) so having the higher smoother display is essential to me. I would have loved to go for the base or plus model iphone 14 and to save the money but to me, compared to other phones, it just wasn't worth it. In 2022 it's absolutely insane to me to have a phone costing over $700 that doesn't have a high refresh rate display. As far as value goes, I'm aware it's very subjective and value is whatever you want to pay but comparing to other phones on the market, the 14 Plus is just an awful value. It ends up being similar to the issue of the M2 Macbook where the prices are just too tight between last years and this years model to actually justify it existing. It's a great phone but are you really getting your money's worth when last years Pro model offers way may for being nearly identical in pricing?
The dynamic island is more ugly than the notch , it is waste of screen
@@zeusx6479 Subjective opinions. Personally, I prefer dynamic island. Some people may prefer the notch. That doesn't make one better or worse than the other.

@@saharajohnson6481 I'm going from Samsung a70 to iPhone 14 pro max
@@zeusx6479 you say this while every other smartphone manufacturer has moved on from the notch because of how outdated it looks. It was fine in 2017, but in the year 2022 going into 2023, the notch should not be on the flagship phones. It would be much better on a budget iPhone, much like the SE models
Watching on 14 plus love it so glad the mini has gone
I came to the 14 Plus after a brief android stint with a Google Pixel 4a 5G. Before that my last iPhone was the 2020 SE.
For me what drive me to the Pixel in the first place was screen size. The SE being still in the iPhone 6 body didn’t cut it anymore, felt too dated. The iPhone 12 at the time still felt too small. And 1,5 grand for a Pro Max? No thanks! The mini phone to me was always a joke and useless in most applications. As a sat nav in the car? Too small. Watching videos when waiting somewhere? Your eyes hurt. Almost a middle finger to the people on a budget: you want a big phone? Too bad, better be rich! You only get a tiny joke instead. I’m super happy with my 14 plus and it is all I need and even a bit I don’t. Awesome phone
Yes eSIM only "SUCKS BIG TIME"!!!!! After reviewing cellular carriers website, and some TH-cam clips looks like eSIM is going to be a pain, however workable to first setup. Since I have killed a previous iPhone, which I was able to pop the SIM, and moved it to another iPhone until I was able to get my iPhone repaired/replaced I needed to know if this is an easy operation with eSIM.
eSIM only in USA makes it look like it is time for me to move to Google Pixel Pro smartphone.
Ty for showing me this it didn't dawn on me till now but look apple didn't bring back the red for the new I phone 15s wow 😳
7 plus for 6 years with 72% battery left to 14 plus well its for me a huge upgrade ❤❤❤
I been using my iPhone 14 plus more than my fold 4
Nobody cared when Apple used to do small evolutions every other year with “S” models, so why do care now? Phones weren’t meant to be upgraded every year anyway, it’s a better upgrade when you do it every 2-3 years.
i feel like with the way apple has handled this year's evolution, it's bound to be criticized as for the prices on the 14 and 14+ aren't negligible. comparing the 13 -> 14 and 6 -> 6s, the latter brought better value and actual new pieces of useful tech rather than the former. but i do agree that phones don't necessarily need to be that big of an upgrade every year, it'd just be better for apple to strategize better to increase sales for them and to provide satisfaction from customers upgrading from older models.
I’m sticking with my 13 mini which I love. I have an iPad if I need a bigger screen.
my dad have 14 pro max and i have 14 plus and trust me i like it more tbh not because its mine but because of its more stable performsnce overall
I sold my 12 pro max and now thinking about upgrading to the 14 plus I need a larger screen due to my horrible vision but don’t wanna spend money on features I’ll never use and I’m tired of heavy phones so this should scratch my itch indeed color doesn’t matter ima case it it sold me with the battery and light weight
Even low end phones has 120hz disply..I don’t know why apple does not include it on their entry level phones though its price tag its freakin high
I’d love even a 90hz display. That way they can still differentiate from the pro models.
This is my first apple device after lifelong android user Samsung Motorola Droid LG V30 just to name a few! The iPhone 14 Plus is my daily driver now to sum it up i love it battery life is great thanks great review....
Gives you more years of usable battery life with battery degradation. Simple as that.
