It still goes lower than 60hz but not over 60hz as that draws more power

iPhone 14 Plus Reviews: Multi-Day Battery Life, Large Display, and Upgraded Cameras Make for Worthwhile Upgrade

In the UK it’s priced like an android Flag ship phone but compares poorly on specs. Compared to the cheaper Pixel Pro 7 just launched , this iPhone plus looks poor value unless you just can’t contemplate switching phone OS.
For many I get that. For me, Apple are pricing themselves out of the market. My 13 Pro still good , but in a couple of years I honestly think the iPhones will be just too expensive to justify.

It’s not. At least very few of them bought it.
As I said in another post: even women who often have smaller hands prefer larger screens. It’s a theoretical issue, in real life almost nobody cares about single handed use. They’d rather attach one of these grips to the back of their phone than to buy a smaller size.

I think Apple bringing it back must have been based on some studies. So maybe it didn’t sell so well for some other reason. Probably it was the battery or being priced too close to the normal sized one.
Sure they did some analysis but that doesn’t mean anything. You cannot predict everything that way and they failed many times before, from Ping to HomePod. Sometimes you have to try a product and sometimes you’ll fail.
Now they got proof it’s a niche product for the few nerds who want the latest tech in an unusual small form factor.
Regular customers mostly want a big screen, good camera and the rest isn’t that important.
I am sure they will increase the SE in size too.
More than a few nerds and the smaller phones sell well internationally, I think anyway, in India I believe, anyway I'm not the normal case, I hate smartphones, when I can no longer use the Iphone SE 2016, I'll either go with an Apple Watch Ultra or Samsung Flip or the Apple Flip when they create one because they will, but I can't be bothered with those giant bricks, and yeah for now more people prefer the bricks, but you don't know if the pendulum will swing in the future.
I kind of feel that Mini still has a market just not enough to have an annual release. Just like SE and iPad Mini. Maybe they will rotate Mini and Plus models. Could work out well for all of those looking for these not so popular products.
Smaller phones sell reasonable numbers, but a lot of that is due to low cost. Unfortunately, the mini doesn't really fit into that low cost category. In the mini's price group, the regular iPhone non-Pro sold many, many, many times more than the mini of the same generation. This is global sales, BTW.
The small iPhone that did sell better is the SE, but that's because it was way, way cheaper than the mini.
The mini was a small phone for a mid-tier price, and thus nobody bought it.
I appreciate that but not sure that everyone would see the extra benefits of the pro phones as that big a deal.
I’m not saying that there are not benefits to the pro phones. I’m not in the market this year but if I were, I’m not sure which choice I would make. I know that there are a lot of people out there that don’t care so much about the specs and features and just want the biggest screen phone they can get for the least money that they have to spend.

iPhone 14 PM way too heavy I felt, and before people say go to the gym etc. do one!
The 14 plus feels perfect and it is also a battery beast. 10 hours screen time on all day and I still had 41% battery when I went to sleep last night. So glad I got this phone.

Yes. If they don’t upload content frequently, the algorithm stops recommending and featuring them in the first page of search results
this is a great observation, I haven't looked at it this way before and it's absolutely true. too bad most people on the internet will hate you just for seeing it differently
Today my 14 Plus has been off charge since 6.55am.
It’s now 10.55pm, I have 10 hours 8 minutes of screen time, been a lot of you tube while working
so it’s been a really heavy use day.
Battery is still on 12%.
I think that is really impressive. My 13 I would have had to of charged to get through a day like that.
