With this years' iPhone lineup, Apple chose to go big or go home. The iPhone 14 Plus exists to give people who want a large screen a more affordable option. But with the iPhone 14 Pro Max $200 more, and iPhone 13 Pro Max' available at discounted prices, is there really any point to it? Today we'll compare the iPhone 13 Pro Max vs iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 14 Pro Max to figure out what differences Apple didn't tell you about! This includes performance testing for A15 vs A16 bionic, iPhone 14 Plus battery life comparison, and more!

I bought my wife a 14 plus coming from an 8 plus. She really doesn’t care about the camera so much. She wanted a big bright phone. The biggest factor for us was the 14+ was in stock. And on the side she is absolutely thrilled with the battery life she says it is unbelievable.
Same here. I upgraded from 8+ and battery life is out of this world. If I had 13pro, i wouldn't upgrade no brainer. Next time I'm upgrading to iphone 20 haha
Oh that’s me right here getting my purple plus this week great price! Everyone was happy 😅 💸
And they say size don’t matter?
Yeah I am using it right now and its battery is unrealistic it superb and I too don’t give a dam about camera bcoz I am not that camera guy and I think the camera is great too
same the upgrade was definitely worth it
I chose the 14 plus over the Pro Max for a simple reason, after using my XR for the last 4 yrs, the upgrade is just so noticeable that after testing both the 14 pro max and the 13 pro max I couldn’t find a reason to spend the additional 200, because the 14 Plus fills my needs sufficiently, and I’m satisfied with my choice
Similar sitch with myself.
me too
I got a lighter phone, crash detection, my red color. I’d been wanting for years. iPhone 13 Pro was nowhere to be found. Still keeping my XSMAX, whether to sell it or give it away.
I did too and becuase the plus camera ok for what I am us8ng it for
Same here, been using XR since Feb. 2019, and upgraded to 14plus.
I returned my pro max 14 for the 14 plus and iv noticed ZERO difference. Apart from the Plus battery lasts longer
Not even pictures? Specially at night? Outside? That would really help me choose 🙏🏼
@@cristinamerlini theres no different except the telephoto but lets be real here nobody likes telephoto all the time!
wow !
bro i have a 8 plus and im thinking of buy a 14 plus
i think i would have a big change
Why would you downgrade from 120hz 😣
@@itsboombabyy i think he dosent care about 120hz this is why he returned 14 pro max
I'm watching this on a 14 Plus and I can easily say it's the best phone battery and phone in general I've ever used.
The price isn't important to me, but I choose the 14 plus because of the lower weight, and the fact that it sits better in the hand. It feels more 'handy'. And because of the new colors.
bro had to hit the flex real quick
agreed, i upgraded from a 12 pro max to the 14 plus in purple - and i must say i'm impressed. at first i was a bit down as i read a lot of backlash on how upgrading from a pro model to a non one is stupid, or if you had a pro model you might as well go for the 14 pro max. however i enjoy this phone, i'm not a big fan of the dynamic island + the battery life on the 14 plus is amazing, can go two days with no charge.
@@brockcampbell9025 haha
Bingo
Same. I purchased a 14PM on launch and didn’t like the weight or dynamic island so ended up returning it and picking up a 14 plus a few months later.
I had iphone 7. Bought 14 plus today. Massive upgrade. Totally happy.
Nice!
@JiroNeedsARebrand I got the 14 pro max coming from Samsung a70 , very happy with upgrade. I can say the same
I chose the 14 plus over 14 pro max. The extra camera doesn't really matter to me as the camera of 14 plus is still very good. You get the bigger screen, the cinematic mode, great battery, it's lighter and fits perfectly in my hand. I don't need the dynamic island and the always on display so why spend more.
I got the plus cuz I didn’t care about fancy cameras, wanted the bigger screen and battery and that’s about it.
I switched from the Galaxy Z Fold 3 to the 14 plus, and the biggest annoyance of the Fold was the weight. Carrying that brick around in my pocket all day got really annoying. The cameras and everything don’t matter that much to me, considering all I do is watch UA-cam and play Clash Royale. The first day of use, yesterday, after about 10 hours of browsing Amazon and playing a few games here and there I got home with over 70% battery life. Super impressed coming from the Fold.
Don’t forget about the weight difference between the iPhone 14 Plus and the 13 Pro Max. I prefer the lighter phone.
They’re both heavy af
I have both and returned the 13 pro max. The weight is big difference for me. I thought the 12 pro max was heavy enough but after two weeks with the 13 pro max I had to return it. 🥲 Love the 14 plus because it’s a lighter phone with solid features. Happy with my purchase. 😊
I agree 13 promax super heavy 😢
@@al3826 you gave up 120hz because of weight?
@@vihaansingha8340 I constantly use my hands so I’m more concerned with the usability of the phone over the refresh rate. 😃
I just got the 14 plus, didn’t have the extra 300 to spend on the pro.
But I will say I love it, no complaints at all. Fast, holds charge really well compared to the 12 pro max I just upgraded from.
Camera is great.
Definitely one of the better moves they’ve made recently.
Yeah I got 13 regular last year and its been great as well. Honestly glad I didn't spend more just cause some fanatics kept claiming you need Pro. Everyone pretends to be professional photographer now 🤣🤣
@@teemuvesala9575 that’s very true lol, I can’t lie I’d like it, but I can’t justify it. This will do perfect for the videos and pics I need to take for my music.
Apple is great but they are all about pointless releases lol
Even though some would say the 14 plus is, I disagree lol
The best video comparison I’ve ever seen. Props for being so thorough and giving a highly in depth look at each variant. Thank you
I can actually think of a single reason why iPhone 14 plus would be better. It’s very, very light - at 203g vs 240 for 14 pro max model, it evens beats 14 pro model which weights 206g. And that’s all, I believe. Thermal performance actually could also be an interesting thing, but it’s a subject for tests.
Which camera better
@@go_423 one has two lenses, one has three. Which do u think?
Yeah but I went to an apple store this past weekend and the weight while it is lighter isn't totally noticeable while holding both in either hand. For me, the 37g is worth the benefits that the pro max has to offer. I even swapped hands, I went with the pro max.
@@nike77155 I’m talking about front camera pretty sure the iPhone 14 plus has a better front camera
For me the weight difference is eveything
Nerds calling a phone that isn’t for them pointless is hilarious. This is the Xr all over again. Doom and gloom predictions at launch because nerds don’t want it but then the whole rest of the world goes to buy a phone and they buy the big cheaper one.
If they only had it in coral
@@yetitheeduardo I wanted it to be in Graphite instead of midnight black
@@zeusx6479 Matte black
Btw I bought an iPad pro 11inc 4th gen because I got it for $50 cheaper than iphon 14
Well this didn’t age well…
“No one really cares about that 5% extra battery life”
I care. My battery dies way too fast so yeh.
Dude, I must give it to you. Your patience and perseverance in running the tests are quite something. Well done and great info thanks. I just got the 14 Plus switching from Android and well... extremely pleased and not sorry.
I ordered the 14 plus after watching this. They are 3 weeks behind, and purple was out of stock, and not gonna be sent when mine was shipped. Really wanted purple but after watching this I’m committed. I’m going from an iPhone 7 Plus to the 14plus.
3:44 Apple still has LPDDR4X-4266 memory in the 14 Plus, I suspect the memory difference is due to the storage Apple uses being faster in the 14 Plus than in the 13 Pro Max (I don't mean that the 14 Plus does swap faster than the 13 Pro Max as swap doesn't exist on iOS, but that some thing may be loading faster from the storage to memory when, say, scrolling through an app, opening a photo, etc. or it's just run to run variation.
Also 4:24 The improved cooling system will make itself more apparent when both the CPU and GPU are under load, or if you extend 3DMark to an hour, people generally won't boot up a 3D game and only play it for 20 minutes. Proper thermal stress tests from the UA-cam channel Geekerwan showed significant differences between even the smaller 14 and 13 Pro Max in terms of thermal thottling (in favor of the 14).
I went from the 12 Pro Max to the 14 Plus. The main thing that I miss from the Pro is the metal casing and weight of the phone. The Pro just feels more solid in my hands. I bought a nice case to protect my glass Plus phone, but it still makes me nervous 😅. Only time will tell…
me too, i wasn't expecting the glass
I’ll tell you what people WIlLL most definitely notice with the 14 Plus EVERY day, is the ‘fact’ it’s around 40 grams lighter! Don’t mention it though do you…
Thank you for your time and your experiment. I've been on the fence for this phone, and you really put it in a good perspective for me
I got the 14 plus for my husband and son who want the screen but doesn’t even know what dynamic island or any of that is.
I decided to buy the 14 plus 'cause I don't really care about the cameras of the 14 pro max, I just wanted a bigger screen and the paster purple one caught me hard, so I'm happy with my choice :)
Got my 14 plus yesterday from the 11 pro max and Love it.. I don’t need the cam, Dynamic island or game for 120hz. I’ll use until 15 comes out with design change and USBC. Great phone using on visible, easy transition too with Esim
I know visible is amazing isn’t it?
@@corbinthornbury1694 Was easy for me.
That’s what I’m saying I don’t really care about all that other stuff I’m ordering mines today
Here is a second reason for the 14 Plus aside form the price. The weight. You get a larger screen at the weight of the smaller pro iPhone.
Do you use matte screen protector on your 14 Pro Max? Is there a big diff in usage?
Great video as always
If you want the biggest display relative to the weight, get the 14 plus. Simple.
OMG! You hit the spot. Awesome review! So much real-world facts that actually make sense👌
The iPhone 13 Pro Max has the prior generation Bluetooth, Version 5.0, and an older version of the QCOM modem for cellular connectivity. Thus, a good battery test to compare the 13 Pro Max to the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Plus would be to stream some audio to a BT headset while transferring lots of data over the cellular network and concurrently running a stress test. I believe that the WiFi SOC is the same for all devices so any connectivity related tests would not show any power consumption differences when WiFi is used.
Your description at the end of the video is exactly what happened to me and my wife my wife’s 8+ started to do the black screen of death so she wanted to upgrade and I told her to pick which one she wanted and she picked the cheaper option of the two since the differences were so minor
I got the 14 plus..love the image detail on my photos..very pleased with it.
I appreciate the time and effort you put into this along with the logical approach and analysis. Of course, Apple has no incentive to price the 14 Plus where it really should be or add the high refresh screen to it, as that would cut into 14 Pro and Pro Max sales.
The one thing to note is reception. I’ve noticed significantly better reception out of my 14 Plus over the 13PM. The pricing is the only thing that truly bothers me out of this phone.
Thank you for sharing that!
The reception is important to me.
Lower weight as well and I will use a case anyways.
Reception?
@@fredzilco3943 yes a cellular phone is a radio device. It has reception
One thing that isn’t mentioned enough is that both the 14 and 14 pro series have the same reception
Must be the newer Qualcomm modem and newer antennas making the difference.
I had the iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro, and I got the iPhone 14 Pro and I would totally agree with what you said Luke. The 13 Pro in my opinion feels exactly the same and my new iPhone 14 Pro in day to day use, well that's not exactly true, the 13 Pro was faster in a lot of use cases and less glitchy over all but that could be sue to IOS 16 and not the phone. For me other than the Dynamic Island it is for all intents and purposes the same phone, inside and out, well except for maybe a new color, but big whoop! I couldn't care less personally about color. I only real reason I got the 14 Pro is because I am signed up for the iPhone upgrade program otherwise I would have never upgraded. Keep up the great vids Luke.
What about repairability ? The 14 series has much better repairability with with the screen and back panel. They probably still do software blocks, but its still something to consider when choosing between the 14 plus and the 13 Pro Max.
Great job, Luke. Your site now replaces two others I’d been following previously.
I have the iPhone 14 pro max and even after seeing your review, then reading the comments, I wished I had gone with the 14 Plus. I really think it would have been perfect for me, and I am a person who watches the tech channels which talk about refresh rate, cameras, quality, etc. I thought they all mattered. I think the weight and battery life would have been better for me on the 14 Plus, not to mention the gorgeous light blue it comes in. I do not like the weight of the 14 pm and I don't take enough pictures to be that concerned. I had a 12 pro max and I had no problem with the refresh rate. My daughter has the 12 and she takes great pictures with that little guy.
Thank you for mentioning the gorgeous light blue. I just ordered one today and was wondering whether I shouod have gotten the purple instead. Your comment made me appreciate the light blue even more.
i just bought a 14 plus coming from a s22 ultra i feel like the higher refresh rate on a phone is not that big of a deal i dont notice a diffrence anymore
I wanted to switch to a 60hz iPhone 13 from my 120hz S22 but I just couldn't, 60hz feels laggy and slow to me now.
The 14 plus doesn’t get the best camera implementation but I am hearing that it actually has quite good camera in the end. Does it have video 4k60p?
I bought this model in red and that proves that some people including myself do care
Couldnt even care less about the camera. Love my 14 plus, i've seen no downsides so far
Nice review Luke. You have this down to a fine art! Cheers 🙂
I went from a SE 2020 to 14 Plus and I compared and contrasted extensively and I landed on the 14 Plus because I don’t need the extra camera or a little more compute power, I also wasn’t gonna was another month for my Carrier to 14 pro max’s in. The difference between the 14 plus vs the 14 pro max is negligible that in REAL WORLD USE you will never notice the difference and I’m a tech nerd saying this
I actually care and want this phone.
My only issue is that it's priced $100 too high. Even at $799 it's expensive but more reasonable. Apple really shot themselves in the foot. Haven't learned since the 13 Mini initial pricing.
Lol trying buying it unlocked in NYC from Apple directly. $1039 after taxes for the base model
I came from android (OnePlus 9 pro) and MAN, I gotta say I’m in love with the 14 plus. The battery life is literally mind blowing. Love only having to charge my phone when I sleep and not have to charge my phone midway through day
My wife has OnePlus 9 pro. Very good phone, only one think Which eliminated the phone for myself..short .battery life. I am using Pocophone F3. The phone is perfect, battery life average but spec top, very smooth, I went up to apple store as I need to change the phone for something new. The only reason why I picked iPhone 14 plus is the battery life. ios is so much limited comparing to android and this is big pain. I can do totally everything on android, have modified Spotify and UA-cam. All premium thinks for free, downloading all contents etc. Unfortunately iOS doesn't allow those things....
Just picked mine up today. I had the 13 mini before. I enjoyed its form factor, but I watch too much media on my phone to justify the small screen and poor battery life of the mini. This 14 plus is huge compared to it, but it’s perfect for me until the usb-c iPhones come out.
i’m deciding if to do the same … love mini but love idea of this for battery
I just switched from a Pixel 6 to the iPhone 14 Plus and I'm really happy with it. I would consider myself quite tech savvy but the iPhone 14 Plus just made more sense for me. The software-side implementation of the dynamic island is neat, but I still find the small notch less intrusive, especially with full screen content. The switch from 90hz on the Pixel to 60 on the iPhone is noticable but I really don't mind it too much. Everything else the 14 Pro Max provides over the 14 Plus (better camera, slight performance uplift with the A16, always on display) just doesn't matter to me for my usecases at all.
For me the iPhone 14 Pro Max would have been an extra 300€ over the 14 Plus where I live for a slightly smoother display and otherwise features I don't nned or care about.
A great upgrade, except the 60hz screen from the 90 on the pixel 6 is a bit of a downgrade
@@emilsecker7881 Considering the weak Tensor chip in the Pixel animations overall are still a bit smoother on the iPhone. Or at least more consistent
@@nils.offermann fair. That makes sense
Same here, I’m tech savvy, I use the m1 MacBook Pro and the m1 iPad Pro, but for my phone I only care about screen size and battery life, so the iPhone 14 plus is perfect and 200$ is not nothing.
@@abdacherif it sure how you can stand 120hz on your iPad and MacBook Pro but not your phone too. Going from 120hz to 60 is torture
price price price i bought 14 plus a week ago... doesn't matter the features i just looking for a big screen and long battery life.
That transition was so smooth 🤩 1:12
Let's talk.
Always purchase "Product Red" whenever I can. Problem is that Apple does not include that option in every product. So when it come to iPhone always Product Red case which along with screen protector are put on as soon as it comes out of the box. Doing this has saved me a number of times since I dropped, and killed a previous iPhone that did not have these on it.
For iPhone I would go Pro, or Pro MAX for the OLED display which is why I moved to the iPhone 11 Pro. Nice to be able to see the screen when I am out walking around, and in sunlight.
After reviewing cellular carriers website, and some UA-cam clips looks like eSIM is going to be a pain, however workable. Since I have killed a previous iPhone is which I was able to pop the SIM, and moved it to another iPhone until I was able to get my iPhone repaired/replaced I needed to know if this was an easy operation. Is not KISS, however it can be done.
For now sticking with my iPhone 11 Pro with A13 154.9 GFLOPS supercomputer in my pocket until Apple comes out with a USB Type C connector that I hope is either USB40, Thunderbolt 4, or USB80.
12, 13, 14 (and pros) all use oled now 👍
Did Luke change the aspect ratio of his videos to accommodate for the iPhone 14 dynamic island?
I just got my 14+ like two weeks ago and I do love it a lot. youre also exactly right with your little scenario at the end. thats pretty much how/why I ended up picking this phone.
im very happy with my 14 plus its like getting the best of both with not so ripped off price i love how the other guy reviewed about 14 plus do on point
Just got the 14+ at Costco. I’m upgrading from an iPhone 7 so I’m hyped. Costco also currently has a deal where the phone costs $5 a month for 36 months so it’s basically like a $180 dollar phone.
What carrier are you using? How did you get this phone at Costco for this price? Must be a carrier promo?
PRICING IS WHY 14 Plus sales are not as expected. In both scenarios: 1) If you pay via monthly carrier credit, the delta between 14 Plus v. 14 Pro Max is small and buyer would get better phone for only few dollars more per month; 2) If you pay full boat for the phone at the price of 14 Plus, most people in that case would simply pay the $200 more to get the better 14 Pro Max. Either way, the pricing delta is not high enuf to influence purchasing decision. The spread needed to be more like $400.
You forget that not a lot of people want to wait the month or two it is taking to get the pro or the pro max variants- hence why I got the plus. And I haven’t been disappointed one bit.
@@jenniferstewart1330 Yes, that has changed since the original vid and my comment. At that time, wasnt as constrained as now.
The 14 plus is also for people who appreciate ease of repair. I will not be purchasing Apple Care and the 14 plus has been redesigned to be more simplistic to service. For people that keep their phones long term,
the 14 and 14 plus are a great choice. This is good for the environment as well as the pocketbook.
Are pro max models not good for long term ? (4 years)?
I love the way you use your slider in your last videos. It makes your videos look even more professional
I really appreciate it, Luke. But it's me who doesn't care about promotion or telephoto but only care about a bigger screen with cheaper price!! :P
Excellent points! 🎉Great Video
Nice review, but one very important thing you did not mention is the weight difference between the Pro Max models and the 14 Plus. The Pro Max models are not very comfortable using them whole day in your hand. They are just crazy heavy, for me the reason to go for the Plus version.
Thing is...the 14's have several additional cellular bands in them...thus a little more future proofing. I have a 14 Plus because I wanted the big screen without all the weight. Don't need another camera lens, and don't care about ProMotion...just want a phone that works well.
Please quick question between the 13 promax and 14plus. Which has the best camera quality? And in general which is best
The 14 Plus offers Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via Satellite, which I don't believe comes on any prior models. For my elderly parent who takes their phone with them everywhere but will not wear the Apple Watch - this adds a big comfort factor and a little piece of mind as they drive. Not sure if I missed this in your comparisons.
Nope, you didn’t miss it; he never mentioned that. It was one of my decisions to get the 14 plus. I’m 70
I love mine and….it’s got a SIM tray. I’ve just upgraded from an iPhone X, so the battery life is much better too.
the last iphone i have used was the iphone 5S...the last phone I have was the samsung galaxy S22 5G then just last month i've switched to the 14 plus....would you call it an upgrade or a downgrade?
I recently bought the 14 plus as I wanted the bigger screen. Don't care about the camera so couldn't justify the extra 300 for the pro max and absolutely love it, so I am extremely happy with my choice.
The only thing that could change anything at this point , would be if they made a camera that could take pictures and video at a long distance. They concentrate too much on selfies, vs actual function in that aspect.
Someone still have old iPhone they use Touch ID they get one of the iPhone 13 series or one of iPhone 14 series that a big jump for some people
Thank you for this video
Man, it’s kinda crazy how many reviewers aren’t about this phone. I think it’s really cool and honestly, if it was available at the same time as my 14PM was, I might have bought it. A cheaper phone with a bigger screen that’s also light weight and has 75% of the camera capability of the 14PM? PLUS similar battery??
Come on. That’s really cool.
my issue is just that it's pricepoint is so close to getting the previous gen Pro Max with more features that I would rather just do that tbh
@@lukemiani Oh, for sure, if you’re going to buy the phone outright, but carrier deals can greatly change that. ATT offered $1k off for a trade in towards my 14PM but nothing off the 13PM. I think this will be the reality for most people and why Jon will inevitably be right about the phone come next year
@@lukemiani If I had used other Apple phones before I might think like you, however the 14 plus is my first iPhone, coming from having a Samsung phone for many years so the bigger screen, good battery life was all I wanted. In Australia the PMax is $300 more so couldn’t justify that when I don’t care about the additional features 😊
@@lukemianiBut the previous generation of iPhone has no "Crash Detection" "Emergency SOS" "Improve Camera Features" and "Longer Battery Life" so I guess, its fair enough.
Just switched from Samsung S20 to the 14 Plus actually it’s a pretty awesome phone I see no big of a deal.
An excellent example of proving to people that you have to define your needs and then buy only what is needed to achieve those needs.
Simple as that. Given that the vast majority of pictures are record shots and never get printed, there is no need to waste your money on more expensive cameras.
Your series 14 is more than adequate.
Great content! Well done
I just got my 14+ earlier today, coming from an iphone xr user.
I also watched a few comparison videos and reviews about 14 pro max and 14+ before making a decision which phones to get.
Figured I didn't need the whole bells and whistle that 14 pro max has and decided to go with 14+ instead.
First, thanks for the very nice review ❤️❤️
I have two questions about iphone 14plus. First, is the screen lighting during the day in sunlight good and clear?
The second question is that I am a fan of watching movies and series on mobile phones. Is watching on the phone good, especially since the screen frequency is 60 Hz?
thanks❤️
I get the feeling Apple purposely didn't release a big screen non-Pro iPhone because they wanted to perfect ProMotion. Once you compare 120Hz ProMotion to 60Hz non-ProMotion, there's no comparison.
I actually think the opposite (this showing apple's expertise in creating smooth UI).
I'm experienced with framerates, as I worked in animation, and I decided to send back my iPhone 14 Pro after a week of use.
I thought I was going to hate going back to my 13's 60hz but surprisingly, that wasn't the case.
@@jippalippa I get the feeling the real reason you returned the 14 Pro, is because you didn't notice a huge difference between the 2 phones.
Apple is changing their strategy in which the newest phones aren't meant to tempt last year's buyers, but instead go after people with like 4+ year old phones.
For them, everything will feel like a huge upgrade.
@@coolguy5555551 Not really, I tested the 14 pro max in store yesterday and I have to say that appart from the camera and battery life of course nothing felt like a real upgrade from my old Xs which already had an oled screen. Nothing at all.
I think the 14 plus is awesome and a great idea. The problem just simply comes down to price. These phones are just already so expensive and if you’re already paying flagship prices of 8,900 plus dollars you might as well spend 1000 or 1100. If they knocked down the regular 14 to like a 700 dollar price tag and made the 14 plus 800 boom thats an actual price difference that would sway me to maybe get the plus over a pro or pro max. I theorize that the plus will do better next year if Apple keeps up the same strategy they’ve been doing the past few years and keeping the last two years of phone’s in the lineup and knocking a hundred bucks off. When the 14 plus hits that 800 dollar point o think it’ll sell better.
Agreed, it should've been 850 at most
Some people still have to pay off their old iPhone they not going to upgrade to this year iPhones
@@Metamine0 the price have to go down on IPhone 12, IPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 can’t be to close to iPhone IPhone 13 prices don’t act like iPhone 12, IPhone 13 mini and IPhone 13 not in iPhone lineup
Their pricing is Kak. That's the problem with the phone not the specs!
In europe is crazy expensive, more expensive than fold 4, I paid 1600$ for my pro max, atleast in the us is 400-300$ cheaper, dont see why people complain so much in the us.
I have iPhone 14 plus 256GB purple I am Fully satisfied A15 chip vs A16 chip power difference is only 5% A15 chip have 15 billion transistors while A16 have just 16 billion transistors every year power difference is upto 25% but this year only 5% so 14 plus is also pretty good.
This is why your my favorite apple tech tuber. You go very in depth with benchmarks and test all the features
but he is downgrading the 14 plus, comparing it to the pro max's instead of giving us a plus only review.
Love your candid & brute honesty…😍👍🥇
Loved the detail comparison, great video for anyone really thinking if they want the plus model over the base one or the pros. Just one observation - I really think that you should keep navigation - Apple Maps or gmaps doesn't matter which - in the battery testing dept. cause sometimes, when you're out and about for like a day, and you have to depend on maps to get places, that does take a hit on phone battery - especially in my usage, I've found that heating issues also creep up if the screen is on for a longer period time. So yeah, I think putting that in would make for a much better battery test standard in my opinion. Just putting it out there!
Yo I just got the 14 plus and shhhh no one needs to know how good this thing is
not being funny when i say the pics you showed us the 14plus ones look the best so to say it has the worst camera in my opinion is wrong also your battery test didn't mention the fact that the 14pro max used quite a-lot of battery on the (always on screen) as well !!
in a country like india where the normal iphone 14 starts at $1000 and the pro models starts at $1600 it makes more sense to buy the 14 plus since it’s only $1100. i am very interested in the tech world and a big fan of apple in general but knowing the problems in the 14 pro series (the camera, the battery and the dynamic island issues) which i know will be fixed in software updates eventually, i went for the 14 plus because even with all that it’s not worth the $500. Also let’s not forget the markup pricing in europe and all that drama. the plus series might be the better option in other countries.(ps: i went with purple instead of blue. u should really try the purple).
The 14 in Europe and Asia come with a SIM card and a headphone jack. So you don’t need to spend $249 on air pods.
@@RbAgsts718 let’s not talk abt the fact that the AirPods Pro cost around $450 in india 😂😂😂
@@sarthakjaiswal8135 I paid way less than the $249 suggested price. I would welcome a headphone jack.
@@sarthakjaiswal8135 it’s way too much money. I really like my Air pods pro and use them every day. I would never pay $249 for them. There are plenty of other options. Sony makes a good product as well as Samsung. There many other brands that don’t cost that much. Like I said I use them every day. So I feel that I got my money worth. I listen to music, books and podcasts. But I only use one at a time when am outside. It’s easy to lose one when you turn them off to have a conversation. So…
@@RbAgsts718 I love my AirPods too but I’m just saying not everyone is as blessed as me who can actually afford there products. Plus the population here is mostly poor who can’t actually afford them (which is part of the reason why the SE products do well here)
Think you are missing one of the most important aspects of a mobile phone, ergonomics. Yes it is subjective, but for some of us very important. I've owned a 13 Pro Max, 14 Pro, and a 14 Plus. The 14 Plus feels way better then the other 2 in my hand. The weight different is very noticeable, even compared to the 14 Pro. I think the mind sees a bigger object and assumes it will weight more so even though the different between a 14 Pro and 14 Plus is only 3 grams, in real world scenario it feels much lighter.
Besides the wide and telephoto missing, almost all camera's take good enough photos. Comparing photo quality of smartphones is overrated. A good photo is based on composition, lighting, and subject matter. Not the Minuscule differences in perceived photo quality.
I remember everyone saying the 14 Plus was a great idea & how it’s going to sell like hotcakes & how it’s way better than the mini. The problem with the 14 plus though is simple. It’s only $100 cheaper than the 14 Pro, & just $200 from the mac daddy 14 Pro Max. I think most people would rather fork out the extra hundo or 2 for the Pros. Also, they might even rather just pay the same price for a refurbished/used 13 Pro Max which are excellent phones
Less of a device issue and more a price issue. Discount 400$ off the 14 plus across the board and more will buy it. Personally give me a 5.4 inch with 4000 mah battery size or a little more at under 1000 Canadian and I will buy it.
i think thats the point of the Apple pricing strategy. Ultimately, Apple want to sway more people to the Pro line
Actually when people said that, there was no ProMotion on the iPhones. ProMotion is a game changer, and we can pretty much expect ProMotion to stay on the Pro devices.
It even has the word "Pro" right in its name.
If ProMotion were to somehow go down to the non-Pro devices, it'll cannibalize the Pro devices.
In Germany, the 13 Pro NEW can be found at the same price as iPhone 14 (same for the bigger ones). And in that case the 13 Pro is a much better value
In my case I bought a new, sealed package iPhone 13 pro max for 975 bucks. If I’m gonna pay 900 bucks for the 14 plus, I can gladly pay less than 100 additional bucks to get a better camera, better battery life, and overall more premium materials.
This is why I went for the 13 PM 1 month ago. The only advantage I see on the iPhone 14 plus is the weight, the 14 plus is far lighter than the 13 pro max.
I just a bought 14 plus a few weeks ago and i really likes it.. i just need a new phone or latest phone, with big screen and cheap so my budget is.... ip14plus😂😂 but i so sad because don't get a blue colour 😢
are the iphone 14 safe to go swimming with, max depth 1.8m? l want to film swimming sessions some under water. thanks
hello there! I would appreciate some advise. I am considering an iPhone purchase and I am undecides between an iPhone 14 or 14 Plus. Is the 14 Plus worth it? BTW I am an Android user. Thank you :)
starlight is the best color though
Blue 💯 Starlight is great though, but the Blue is just awesome
@@tdrg_ BRUH
Too beige
I kinda like the light purple, the black though ❤. I suppose it’s a matter of taste
I have the same !
not going to upgrade my 13pro max is a great phone there is no need to upgrade . but will apple start adding features to new phones to make you buy them ? the same way they wont upgrade mac books now that are not above 2017.
Anyone else loving these panning shots of Luke? Very cool
Thanks! I’m trying to incorporate more active camera moves into my videos :)
Love it, adds some dynamic movement to the direct to camera clips. Good stuff!
@@respect386 Luke's cameras are on their own dynamic island 😝
@@lukemiani wow, the iPhone 14 PLUS along with the iPhone 12 and 13 mini have been the most hated iPhones of recent times nobody wants to buy them, no one cares about them, even Apple themselves.
imma subscribe u cuz of dis smart test video between those phone big thanks 🤝🏻
I recently bought the 14plus and I love it. My last iPhone was an 8plus so this a huge upgrade. Could you give me some advice on free ringtone apps?😊
Love it to Gretchen
Use the garbage band method, look it up in yt
Luke Miani bro i have one doubt which is best iphone 14plus or iphone 13pro max or iphone 14pro max
I think the point of the 14 plus was more in regard to the 14. If you wanted the 14 because you could care less about the super camera as well as the promotion YET you wanted a larger screen than what the 14 has because you either prefer a larger screen or having issues reading a smaller screen than the 14 plus is what you are looking for. Plus when I was at the Apple store and looked to trade in my old iPhone 11 the older iPhone 13 line was not an option. I would have had to go with my carrier where the iphone is generally more expensive (unless you get some promotion going on) or buy a 13 on eBay but without the ability to trade in my previous iPhone and get that $200 discount.
I think the 14 plus is a pointless model. The mini was a better option because it gave another choice in size, and while it didn’t have the greatest sales, those that have it generally love it. If you’re gonna spend the extra money to get the biggest iPhone, you might as well spend a bit more and get the pro max and leave the mini on the table.
Edit: I don’t own a mini, I have a 13 pro max, just something I’ve gathered from those I know that would like a 14 but wished it came in the mini format.
I would seriously consider a mini iPhone if I knew apple would continue making it and I wouldn't have to adjust to the bugger model later on anyway to have the latest iPhone.
The 14 plus has a much better battery and a larger screen than the 14 pro, most people would rather that
Nothing wrong with liking smaller phones, however I don’t think those of you who do like the smaller phones have any clue how niche, and truly small of a group you are in this day and age. No business is going to keep selling something that the MAJORITY of people aren’t buying. It’s not like Samsung makes an S22 mini. They know it won’t sell. This isn’t a mobile electronics thing either. Every single business does this because it would be suicidal not to. So don’t get mad at Apple for not catering to the minority of sales. If the mini was truly a better option, then Apple would still be selling it.
I agree, I have a 13 mini and I love it
I think we as consumers will never be truly satisfied. Personally , its a great model for my middle aged parents who wanted a bigger phone but not the cutting- edge features. My mom is planning to upgrade from 8 plus to 14 plus moreover, Apple should have started the line from 699$.
14 plus repair cost is less compared to 13 pro Max glass unibody I think. Correct me if I'm wrong
One other customer category you missed for purchasing the iPhone 14+. And a real life example as well. My iPhone 12 Max Pro is stolen on Thanksgiving Day.. All attempts to get it returned or found fail. I need a replacement phone now, Only option available to replace this phone on Black Friday? You guessed it. iPhone 14 +.
Yup one of the main reasons I got one- I wanted a bigger screen after my phone was stolen- the Plus is what was available in stores.
do you face the focus issue?
What is the difference between iphone 14 & iphone 14 plus aside from size?
what about the 14plus with the better/faster modem?
