iPhone 14/Plus The only reason for all the hate the 14 plus is getting.

A15 is so far ahead of its competitors that Apple took a skip-year for the 14. 😀

Of course on paper, we can't have that. But realistically, will most people notice the performance difference?

no they wont...

I like the 14 plus and appreciate its weight/size ratio, feels pretty light in person. But I want my next phone to last for around 3 years and don’t think i can justify no telephoto again. The regular line up should at least be equipped with a basic telephoto like the one from the 11 pros.

I think it’s pretty stingy of any manufacturer in 2022 to be selling a £949+ phone with only a dual camera system on it to be brutally honest. Apple have milked that one for too many years now.

It doesn’t make it right though does it? They are mocked for it in equal measure.

I think too many people are busy comparing and putting the 14 Plus down as being iPhone 13 Pro Max from last year just repackaged with 1 less camera dont realize that it packs some significant improvements:


Things the iPhone 14 / 14 Plus has but missing in the 13 Pro / 13 PM:

• Emergency SOS via satellite* [*Launching in Canada and USA first, supported in all 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max]
• Crash Detection
• Photonic Engine for incredible detail and colour
• X65 Modem [Better LTE / 5G Connectivity]
• Action mode
• Bluetooth 5.3

13 Pro / 13 Pro Max Has / Does better than iPhone 14 / 14 Plus:

• Telephoto 3rd Camera
• 3x optical zoom in / 2x optical zoom out / 6x optical zoom range / Digital zoom up to 15x
• 1TB
• ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz
• Night mode portraits
• Macro photography + Macro video recording, including slo‑mo and time‑lapse
• Apple ProRAW + ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30 fps (1080p at 30 fps for 128GB capacity)
• LiDAR Scanner

Not to mention the 14 Plus has a huge battery life!

One charge and I am good for 3 days while my 12 Pro needed to be charged every other day!

Mocked before copying the same (eg Samsung— charger, headphone jack, expandable storage).

I wasn’t talking about Apple being mocked by other manufacturers. I don’t pay any attention to that or have little knowledge of it.

I believe I get what you mean then. Nonetheless, I fully agree. I'm not a fan of the "Pro" iPhone and iPad structure personally, and leaving things out that should just be included and then saving things for only the higher end iPhones.
