The new Apple iPhone 14 Plus has a bigger screen and a longer-lasting battery, but it also costs more than the old iPhone 14.
So, the Plus is the big Apple phone for people who just want a bigger screen and don’t need more cameras or other features. It has the same chips, display tech, cameras, materials, repairable design, and software as the regular iPhone 14, but it is bigger.
Since the screen size went up from 6.1 inches to 6.7 inches, the device is now bigger and heavier. It’s much lighter and easier to hold that the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but you might still want to get a Pop socket or something similar to help you keep a hold of it.
The screen looks nice and has a large display area for watching videos, playing games, or just making it easier to read text. But its technology isn’t as good as that of its competitors.
It can only refresh at 60Hz, while most of its competitors can do 120Hz, and it can’t get as bright as the Samsung Galaxy S22++, the Google Pixel 7 Pro, or Apple’s Pro model, which are all about the same size.
The 14 Plus is best known for its very long battery life. I get a solid three days out of it between charges, even though I use the screen for about 7.5 hours a day with different apps and services.
This is a day longer than the regular iPhone 14 and almost every other phone.
With a 20W or higher USB-C power adapter, the phone is fully charged in about two hours and 80% charged in 63 minutes (not included). It can also be charged wirelessly with 15W.

The iPhone 14 Plus is Apple’s new super-sized smartphone. It takes what was good about the base model 14, like being easier to fix, and adds a much bigger screen.
The 6.7-inch screen gives you a lot more room to watch videos, read messages, or just have bigger text.
But while the regular 14 has a great balance between the size of the screen and the size of the phone, the 14 Plus is just a big phone. Because of this, it is harder to hold and use with one hand.
The 14 Plus’s best feature is its very long battery life, which is made possible by its larger size. Smartphones rarely last two days, let alone up to three, even with normal use.
But it’s very expensive, especially in the UK, where the pound is weak. Samsung and Google make phones with better screens and better cameras that cost the same or less.
The 14 Plus is the iPhone that has the longest-lasting battery.
The price for iPhone 14 plus ranges from 10,500 Ghana Cedis to 12,000 Ghana Cedis.
