Design

Around the phone is an aerospace-grade aluminum frame with rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle. The front and back is covered in tough glass from Corning, a ceramic shield glass.
We still have the notch design at the front, as the iPhone 13, unlike the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max sporting the new Dynamic Island. The notch holds the TrueDepth camera, speaker, and microphone.
In addition, there is a set of antenna bands at the top and sides of the phone, with a power button on the right and a silencer, the volume keys, and the SIM slot are all on the left part of the frame. Underneath the power button, there’s a not too obvious 5G mmWave antenna. The bottom accommodates the Lightning port, the mouthpiece, and the second stereo speaker.
The iPhone 14+ is as large as the iPhone Pro Max models, thanks to the new 6.7-inch OLED screen. It measures 160.8 x 78.1 x 7.8 mm but is lighter than imagined at 203 grams.
Display

Apple also made some update on the Always-On display, so it doesn’t drain battery. The iPhone 14 Plus also has 120Hz refresh rate along with improved power efficient technologies. You also get Dolby Vision.

On the front is a 12 megapixels camera with a Six‑element wide-angle lens, f/1.9 aperture, autofocus with focus pixels and retina flash. This device is enabled by TrueDepth camera for facial recognition.
Apple also introduces the Photonic Engine which merges multiple pixels from multiple exposure levels to deliver brighter and “more lifelike” colors in low-light situations.
In addition, Apple iPhone 14 also has a sensor-shift optical image stabilization and a dual pixel PDAF. There is also a new LiDAR scanner, which is used for augmented reality applications. This scanner is capable of accurately measuring distances and detecting objects in 3D space.
Hardware and Software
The iPhone 14 Plus is powered by Apple’s last-gen A15 Bionic chipset. This processor is capable of delivering blazing-fast performance and can handle even the most demanding tasks with ease.

Like the more compact variant, the device features 6GB RAM with the option of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB built-in storage. Also like the iPhone 13, the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro Max from 2021 as well as all the 2022 series iPhones, this model has no memory card slot.
The 5G phone runs on the iOS 16 which is packed with new features and improvements. These improvements are noticeable in the lockscreen, the notification management, the Messaging app, and the privacy options. In addition, the iPhone 14+ support new features including Emergency SOS via satellite, and Crash Detection.
