Ahead of the launch of the iPhone 14 Plus, Apple has given access to certain media outlets.

Apple's largest entry-level model with a 6.7-inch display is the iPhone 14 Plus, which is the highest-end model in the company's lineup. The standard smaller iPhone 14 model was reviewed before it was released last month and it was found to have many of the same features.

The longest battery life of any non- Pro iPhone is due to the lack of Pro features such as ProMotion and more internal space allocated to the battery. According to Allison Johnson, the iPhone 14 Plus can offer users three days of battery life on a single charge.
Apple's claim of the "best battery life in an iPhone" isn't an exaggeration. Typically, a day of moderate use with about two hours of screen-on time and plenty of time away from Wi-Fi only drained the battery by about 25 percent in my experience. I even managed to get three days of use on a single charge. Reader, I can't remember the last time I used an iPhone that comfortably made it through multiple days of use.

The lack of a higher refresh rate is disappointing for a phone in this price range, as evidenced by the impressive display on the iPhone 14 Plus.
A higher refresh-rate screen looks more immersive, whether you are playing a game or just scrolling on Twitter. The 14 Plus' screen is locked in at 60Hz. I wish Apple had included a higher refresh-rate display on the 14 Plus, even if it's a more modest 90Hz. And it's strange that only the Pro models get an adaptive refresh rate.
The 14 Plus' screen looks good, but the one on the 14 Pro Max looks better. Some of that is about the refresh rate, but some of it is that the 14 Pro Max can get much brighter. In my time testing the 14 Plus, I didn't have any issues being able to see the screen outdoors. But I live in San Francisco, so in a sunnier locale that could be more of a challenge.

Camera reviews for the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus will be the same as for the iPhone 14. The reviewers said the iPhone 14 Plus did a good job of handling low-light situations. Allison Johnson came from The Verge.
What that boils down to is better low-light performance, especially from the ultrawide and selfie cam, even though the hardware isn't exactly new or special. You can read a little more in-depth analysis in my iPhone 14 review, but the short version is that this is a very good camera system — not solely worth upgrading for, but it'll be a pleasant update if you're coming from an iPhone 11 or older.
The same chip is used in both the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus. The iPhone 14 Plus has more than enough performance to handle anything you can throw at it and still feels premium.
