Briefly
The 14th iPhone is the quietest version of Apple ever. Compared to the predecessor, nothing noticeable has changed. As a result, the iPhone 14 lags behind the competition; Screen brightness and download speed are now below average. Since the price is significantly higher compared to the iPhone 13, the price-spec ratio is more deviant than last year. We know of few other devices for this amount without a 120Hz screen, a calling camera and/or a macro function. This does not mean that the iPhone 14 does not have strengths. The main camera is good, the screen shows nice colors and the battery life is very good, with the A15-soc running very fast and software updates going on for a long time. However, the almost identical iPhone 13 has these advantages, and now you can click on this device for hundreds of euros less.
Briefly
With the iPhone 14 Plus, there’s for the first time a big iPhone that isn’t the top model of the bunch. The larger screen gives you a more overview, but also makes the device very bulky. Size also has a positive effect on battery life, which is quite long, although in our test scenarios it is not as long as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, with its more economical screen. You pay no less than 1169 euros for the 14 Plus and this makes the price-spec ratio unfavorable. We know of few other devices for this amount without a 120Hz screen, a calling camera and/or a macro function. In addition, screen brightness and loading speed lag, although the A15-soc is still fast and software updates last a long time. An important takeaway is that you are currently buying an iPhone 13 Pro Max that doesn’t cost much more compared to the 14 Plus, but it has the features you should expect for this price.
At the Apple event in Cupertino this year, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max All the attention. From the dynamic island to the 48MP main camera and the A16 Bionic soc: the Pro duo has some interesting innovations on board. As in recent years, the iPhone 2022 lineup will not only consist of Pro devices. also “normal” iPhone 14 He makes his appearance again. The miniature model of previous generations has been replaced by an influence from the 14th series of a very large iPhone: iPhone 14 Plus.
as we are in preview Already written, it looks like the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are basically Apple’s smart recycling strategy products that you know from products like Entry-level iPad The watch is SE. All the interesting innovations of the Pro models pass from the 14-duo, but by reusing components that were previously only in more expensive devices, Apple can still claim an improvement. For example, the iPhone 14 has the main camera of iPhone 13 ProAs well as an A15 processor with an extra GPU core that was reserved for Pro devices last year. The iPhone 14 Plus is the first-ever full-size iPhone that isn’t top-notch, with a screen that’s roughly the same size and sharpness as the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Except for the bigger screen and bigger battery, the 14 Plus has exactly the same specs as the iPhone 14.
The iPhone 14 is a very incremental upgrade compared to the 13, and the iPhone 14 Plus is arguably the more interesting of the two. That’s why we waited a while with the review until both devices became available; The Plus model won’t go on sale until early this month. The setback with both devices is the high price in Europe. For example, you pay more than 1,000 euros for the cheapest iPhone 14, since the iPhone 13 was available from 909 euros (and even iPhone 13 mini costs only 809 euros). The iPhone 14 Plus, which is being offered as an affordable alternative to the expensive iPhone Pro Max, costs almost as much as the iPhone 13 Pro Max. It is of course much cheaper than the expensive iPhone 14 Pro Max.
