The iPhone 14 Plus a large variant of the iPhone 14 developed by Apple Inc. It was announced in a special event titled "Far out" on September 7, 2022. Pre-orders began on September 9 and it was released on October 7, 2022.[1] On March 14, 2023, Apple began shipping a yellow version as part of its spring product refresh.[2][3]
New features[]
The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus feature the 5 GPU version of the Apple A15 SoC previously used in iPhone 13 Pro models. Along with existing 5G service, it also adds Emergency SOS via satellite for areas where ground-based wireless services may not be available. 2 years of emergency satellite service are included free with the purchase of new iPhone 14 models. Crash Detection senses sudden changes in sound levels, cabin pressure, direction, and speed up to 256 Gs to determine whether a severe crash has occurred and automatically call Emergency SOS if the user does not respond.[4]
Reception[]
The iPhone 14 Plus was introduced as a larger-sized alternative to the smaller iPhone 13 mini. However the strategy was deemed a "failure" by market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo as pre-orders appeared to be significantly worse than the preceding mini.[5] Strong demand for the other models still led to Apple increasing manufacturing orders with Foxconn from 90 to 95 million units for the overall iPhone 14 product line.[6]
