The last time I saw the Plus model was the iPhone 8 Plus in 2017. Five years have passed, and Apple has reviewed this product line again, but the original mini version has been cut off. Is the iPhone 14Plus easy to use? Which users is more suitable for? What are the advantages and disadvantages? After unboxing and starting to experience it, I believe everyone will know how to choose.
iPhone14Plus is actually an enlarged version of iPhone14. There are only two differences between the two. The first is the screen size and the second is the battery capacity. But don’t underestimate these two differences. The user groups they target are completely different, and there are also big differences in experiences. So if you are still struggling and don’t know whether to choose iPhone14 or iPhone14Plus, continue reading down and you will understand.
First-class users, friends who like to play games
iPhone14Plus is equipped with a 6.7-inch super retinal XDR display. A larger screen can get a more extreme visual experience and is more suitable for playing games. When holding the horizontal screen, the obstruction will be smaller. Of course you can use it to watch movies, after all, the bigger the Apple, the better the movie will be. Paired with the full-blooded version of the A15 chip, there is no pressure to play games. Moreover, due to the increase in volume, the internal heat dissipation space is larger and the heating is better than the iPhone 14 in the middle cup.
second-class user, pursuing the ultimate battery life experience
iPhone14 has a built-in 3279mAh battery, while iPhone14Plus has been upgraded to 4325mAh, which is exactly the same as the iPhone13ProMax released last year. This phone has been the king of battery life in the industry for a long time. So the battery life experience of iPhone14Plus will definitely not disappoint you. According to the official data, compared with the 20 hours of iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Plus video playback can reach up to 26 hours, and the audio playback can be increased from 80 hours to 100 hours.
Due to the increase in battery capacity, the charging speed of iPhone 14Plus is slower. It takes 30 minutes to charge 50% of the battery, while iPhone 14Plus takes 35 minutes.
The third category of users, iPhone12 or previous old models are worth upgrading to
If you really need a large-screen phone and long battery life, but your budget is not enough to buy iPhone14ProMax, then you can choose iPhone14Plus. But if you are using iPhone13 and want to switch to iPhone14Plus to improve your experience, I think it's better to forget it. Apart from the screen and battery life, there are almost no upgrades in other aspects. Therefore, the iPhone14Plus is more suitable for users of iPhone12 or previous old models.
iPhone14Plus Disadvantages
After talking about the three most suitable upgraded users and their advantages, let’s talk about the shortcomings of iPhone14Plus. First of all, due to the increase in size, the bare metal weight of iPhone14Plus has reached 203g, which is much heavier than the 172g of iPhone14. Users who pursue thinness should consider it carefully.
followed by iPhone14Plus priced at 6999 yuan, which is not cheap. If iPhone14 is priced at 4999 yuan and iPhone14Plus is 5999 yuan, I think it is still reasonable. In this way, the Plus version and the Pro version can widen the gap of 2000 yuan, but iPhone14Plus and iPhone14Pro are only 1000 yuan. The difference in price is very small, but the experience is completely different.
In general,
iPhone14 to iPhone14ProMax, the four models are 1,000 yuan apart. For friends who really need a large screen and battery life, iPhone14Plus can naturally consider it, but just for these two experiences, you have to change your current phone and spend an additional 6,999 yuan to buy iPhone14Plus. Is it really cost-effective to think about it? So as mentioned earlier, we only recommend users who replace iPhone12 and previous old models, but users of iPhone13 series are extremely not recommended.
