Apple launched the iPhone 14 Plus in India in September 2022 at Rs 89,900 for 128 GB, replacing the mini model in the lineup. It offered the large 6.7-inch display that had previously been exclusive to the Pro Max, at a significantly lower price, though it went on sale a few weeks after the regular iPhone 14.
The Super Retina XDR OLED is big and bright but limited to 60Hz and still uses the notch rather than the Dynamic Island of the Pro models. At 203 g it is lighter than the 14 Pro Max, making it more comfortable for long reading or video sessions. The A15 Bionic with five GPU cores provides smooth performance across all apps.
Battery life is its standout feature, regularly exceeding that of the 14 Pro Max in everyday use and lasting well into a second day for moderate users. Cameras match the iPhone 14: 12 MP wide with a larger sensor and 12 MP ultrawide, plus an autofocus selfie camera. Sales were reportedly slow, as buyers either chose the cheaper iPhone 14 or stretched to the Pro.
