In September of last year, the iPhone 14 series was officially released, and the Pro version did steal the limelight with its innovative interactive experience of Lingdong Island, and the standard version was indeed mediocre at the time because it was still the original Liu Haiping, the familiar full-blood version of A15 and the classic dual-camera design.

The worst should be the iPhone 14 Plus, although it returns to the suffix of Plus, but compared to 14, only the screen has become larger and the battery life has become longer, but the performance, camera specifications, and screen refresh rate have not changed, and the official price is 1000 yuan more expensive than 14, and the people who buy it from the beginning of sale to now will still be called "big wrongs".

And I, as the main user of iPhone 14 Plus, after 8 months of use, I don't think it is a "big wrong" mobile phone, this article starts from my personal subjective experience, from the screen, feel and other aspects of this mobile phone.

The screen is believed to be the most complained about by friends, iPhone 14 Plus compared to the standard version of 14, its size has increased from 6.1 inches to 6.7 inches, but the refresh rate remains at 60Hz, which is also known as the "big wrong" mobile phone spit the most points.

Many people will say that after experiencing the 120Hz screen can not go back, let me talk about my point of view: at present, my main machine is iPhone 14 Plus, I also have a tablet that supports up to 144Hz, and the computer is paired with a 4K 60Hz monitor, which shows that my high-brush scene is not much. Thanks to the excellent smoothness of the iOS system, after I have experienced a period of mobile phones that support high brushing, I can quickly adapt to the iPhone 14 Plus, perhaps for me, a high refresh rate is not a must, but a plus.

What benefits can a 60Hz screen bring to the iPhone 14 Plus? is the endurance, although not as strong as the big brother 14 Pro Max, but the endurance of the 14 Plus is still very outrageous, let's see its endurance performance from daily use.

It should be noted that the current version of my mobile phone system is 16.5, the battery health is 99%, automatic 5G mode, and Wi-Fi is connected at home all the time. When I got up at 10 a.m. during the holiday, my mobile phone battery was 84%, and I brushed Xiaohongshu and WeChat moments after getting up for breakfast, the time was about an hour, there was a reply to WeChat messages in the middle, and then I used the tablet to watch the drama, did not use the mobile phone, it was about 12:30 after lunch, and the remaining battery of the mobile phone was 80%.

Waking up from a nap, opening Genshin (extremely high quality + 60 frames) to complete daily missions and complete new activities, the time is about 20 minutes, at this time I paid attention to the battery, there is still 71% left. After playing "Genshin", I brushed TikTok for almost an hour, watched videos for about half an hour after dinner, went out at night to listen to songs with Bluetooth headphones for more than half an hour, and finally had 62% of the remaining battery before going to bed at 12 p.m.

Although this day can only be regarded as light use, but from the 20-minute "Genshin" only 9% power consumption, the iPhone 14 Plus's battery life performance is already very good, according to my use of this day, basically two days of charging is no problem.

There is also a highlight, the weight of the iPhone 14 Plus is only 203g, similar to the 206g iPhone 14 Pro, to know that this phone is equipped with a 6.7-inch screen, with the same size of the iPhone 14 Pro Max weight is 240g, it can be seen that the 14 Plus can bring you a large screen experience and excellent battery life at the same time, but also bring you a good grip. Also thanks to the large size and even distribution of weight, it feels even better to hold in the hand than the standard version of the iPhone 14.

iPhone 14 Plus images are still the same natural color, in the iOS16 system can choose the shooting style, I am used to using the "high contrast" mode, to make the picture more pleasing to the eye, but more casual shooting, more professional shooting to the camera to complete.

To briefly summarize, the advantages of iPhone 14 Plus are comfortable grip and excellent battery life and large screen experience, but the lack of 60Hz screen, telephoto lens, and smart island are all inevitable disadvantages of iPhone 14 Plus. From my experience, it is not difficult to see that I have little demand for high brushes, and the smoothness of iOS will not make me feel a lot of fragmentation on this screen.

Perhaps many people will say "it's better to add some money and bite your teeth on the iPhone 14 Pro", "Buy iPhone 13 Pro Max Isn't it fragrant?" ", but for the Pro series of ProMotion screen or smart island design, no matter how worthy of the function, in the absence of demand, it becomes meaningless to add money to upgrade, after all, now the iPhone 14 Plus has become more worthwhile under various promotions of third-party channels.

Finally, iPhone 14 Plus is not suitable for everyone, perhaps the upcoming iPhone 15 series will be more worth buying, but from the actual experience of the current 8 months, iPhone 14 Plus is indeed not as bad as people say, for friends who only need a large screen and a comfortable feel is very suitable.
