iPhone 14 series has been on the market for some time. Among them, iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro before we shared with you the experience and experience during use. Students who have not seen it can go to the homepage to view it.
As the only and last model in the iPhone 14 series that has not yet been launched, the iPhone 14 Plus will be officially released tomorrow. I have used this product for a few days in advance. Let me first conclude: it may be the most fragrant model in the entire series this year.
In fact, iPhone 14 Plus is the real new iPhone this year. It is the Apple launched the second product with the suffix Plus after 4 years. The last time it was named iPhone 8 Plus.

Many Apple fans want a large-screen iPhone, but before that, they could only choose the Pro Max version, and the starting price of around 9,000 yuan is still relatively high for most users. So many people settled on the second best, chose the small screen version, or were nailed to the 5.5-inch iPhone 6/7/8 Plus era.
Now, iPhone 14 Plus is here. Will it further consolidate Apple's dominance in the high-end smartphone market?
large-screen iPhone purchase threshold has been lowered. The combination of iPhone 2
iPhone uses large and small screens. The combination of iPhone 6 started with iPhone 6. The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 paired with 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, and continued until iPhone 8, until the launch of iPhone X.
After entering the era of full screen, Apple followed this product strategy for , but the size of the small-screen iPhone has been increased from 4.7 inches to 5.8-6.1 inches, and the large-screen version has been increased from 5.5 inches to 6.5-6.7 inches.
In addition to the two product lines that are likely to not be iterated again, the iPhone's digital series should have always used the 6.1-inch screen and 6.7-inch screen specifications of a small screen from the past two years to the next period of time.
Additionally mentioned that starting from iPhone XR, if users want a large-screen iPhone, they can only choose the Pro Max version, which to a certain extent raises the threshold for purchasing a phone. Consumers who love big screens and are short of money have to be forced to switch to the Android camp. The arrival of
iPhone 14 Plus solves this problem.

Regarding the benefits of large screens, we have emphasized countless times in the past years, and the market's education for consumers has long been very mature. In terms of visual impact alone, I believe no one will reject large screens.
iPhone 14 Plus' effective display area is 21% larger than that of iPhone 14. The difference in appearance between the two is reflected in all aspects of use. Note that unlike Android phones, iPhone adapts to content with different screen sizes not just to enlarge.
To give a simple example, on iPhone 14 Plus, if you are middle-aged and elderly users with poor eyesight, or simply like large fonts, then it can display the same content as before while enlarging the font size, and will not reduce the display of information just because of enlarging the font.

As for the various benefits brought by large screens, I don’t need to say more, watch videos, play games, take photos... the same sentence, anyone who has used large screen phones will not want to use small screen phones again. Almost no one likes small-screen phones. People who like small-screen phones just like their holding feel, not their small screens.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Compared with iPhone 14, the body of the iPhone 14 Plus is still a whole circle larger and is more than 30g heavy. The feel and control convenience of holding with one hand are definitely not as good as the former.

The best battery life so far
Excellent power management ability has always been the advantage of the iPhone. It can always achieve better battery life than Android phones of the same level when the battery capacity is relatively small. Last year, the iPhone 13 Pro Max almost dominated the smartphone battery life list for a whole year with its super battery life performance.
This year's iPhone 14 Plus is called by Apple by Apple that it has "the best battery life for iPhone to date". The implication is that it is even stronger than last year's iPhone 13 Pro Max.
I looked at the parameters of the official website. In terms of the duration of video playback (26 hours) and streaming video playback (20 hours), the iPhone 14 Plus is actually not as good as the iPhone 13 Pro Max (28/25 hours) and iPhone 14 Pro Max (29/25 hours). It is only longer than both (95 hours) in terms of music playback time (100 hours).
I guess that what Apple said is "the best so far" should refer to comprehensive battery life. After all, no one uses a mobile phone to do only one thing from beginning to end.
From my actual test, in the indoor automatic light, half the volume is turned on, under the WiFi network, 1080P image quality online videos are played at the same time, iPhone 14 Plus has 9% power loss, and iPhone 14 has 13% power loss. The former is about 40% durable in terms of streaming videos. This result is actually better than the official data (25%).
Many people like large-screen phones, not just for the screen, but also for the battery life. You should know that it is normal for modern people to use their mobile phones for five or six hours a day. There are many people who are on the screen for seven or eight hours a day, and even longer. In this case, there are actually not many models that can truly achieve use from morning to night without any delay.
This is why mobile power supply sells so well, shared power banks are everywhere, and rental fees are getting more and more expensive. I have seen too many people who have battery life anxiety. Not to mention less than 20% (power saving mode), some start to panic when they are less than 50%.
If you have a similar situation, then iPhone 14 Plus may relieve your anxiety to a certain extent. I am a relatively serious smartphone user. According to the comprehensive use of these days, I have two hours of WeChat every day, browsing Weibo, , Douyin, , and B station for one hour, playing games for one hour, and using other things for another hour. The total screen-lit time is seven or eight hours, and basically the average daily remaining about 20%.
If you are even heavier than me, as long as it is not too exaggerated, it will be enough for a day. On the contrary, if it is similar to me, or not so severe, then you won’t worry about insufficient battery life when using iPhone 14 Plus.
is very suitable for playing games
We mentioned in the evaluation of iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro that this is the first time that Apple has adopted different chip matching strategies in the same generation of digital series. The iPhone 14 Pro series uses the latest A16 bionic chip, while the iPhone 14 series still uses the A15.
However, unlike the previous iPhone 13 series, the A15 equipped with the iPhone 14 series is the "full blood version" on the iPhone 13 Pro series, which is a 5-core GPU. The graphics processing speed is up to 18%, which is more suitable for processing image-intensive applications.
is actually compared to A15. The new A16 is more about the process (4nm) and performance improvements. Of course, the peak performance is better, and the various running scores are also higher. However, in daily use, the performance experience of the two generations of iPhones is not much different. The value of A16 is more of a new feature serving the iPhone 14 Pro series.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have exactly the same configuration, both A15+6GB of memory. However, since the latter body has more cooling space inside, the peak performance and continuous output capability are better.From the following two sets of pictures, you can see that the Geekbench 5 of the iPhone 14 Plus has a slightly higher running score. After running " Genshin Impact " for 30 minutes, the temperature of the body (room temperature is around 24°C).

Strong A15, huge screen, excellent battery life...Make iPhone 14 Plus a very suitable mobile phone for gaming. I even think it is the most suitable iPhone for gaming in history. Because in addition to the above characteristics, it is also very light and thin, the 203g weight is even 3g lighter than the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro. The wide body makes its overall density relatively small, especially when holding it with both hands, it can be said that it is stress-free.
Before, many users who like to play games may still have conflicts when choosing iPhones, especially for girls. Buy a small one. The body is light and suitable for long-term play, but the screen is small and the battery life is not enough. Buy a larger one, the screen and battery life are all good, but your hands are sore after playing for a long time.
Now, iPhone 14 Plus has been solved.
at the end:
Before, there was news that the sales of iPhone 14 were not as good as expected. At that time, I was thinking that these users might be waiting for iPhone 14 Plus. After a few days of experience, I think it is the most worth buying new iPhone this year. The reason why
says that is mainly the points mentioned above. In the past, if you wanted to buy an iPhone with a large screen and a good battery life, you could only choose the Pro Max version, with a starting price of about 9,000 yuan, which is not something everyone can afford.
Now, the starting price of iPhone 14 Plus is 6,999 yuan, not to mention that it is already flush with many large-screen Android phones. If various e-commerce subsidies are included (such as the upcoming Double 11), it is not impossible to achieve a more than 6,000 yuan later. You can buy a new large-screen iPhone for more than 6,000 yuan, which is impossible in the past.
is the same as iPhone 14. The iPhone 14 Plus has not changed that much compared to the iPhone 14 Pro series, but are you sure you will change your phone for the Lingdong Island function? Are you sure which professional shooting modes you can use on the iPhone 14 Pro?
So the same thing is, for most users, all they need is a new iPhone with a large screen, good performance and excellent battery life. From this perspective, the iPhone 14 Plus is the best choice.
