iPhone 14 Plus release date
- Probably announced on September 7.
- It can hit stores on September 16
The iPhone 14 Plus will almost certainly be announced at Apple's Far Out event on September 7. It will start at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST, or 3am on Thursday, September 8 for those in the AEST time zone. As for the shipping date, release date leaks and precedents point to Friday, September 16.
That said, some reports suggest that the production of the iPhone 14 Plus may be lagging behind other models, which could mean a delay. But Ming-Chi Kuo (opens in a new tab), an analyst with a sterling track record at Apple Information, suggests the situation is under control.
iPhone 14 Plus Price
- Pricing could start at €899 / £879 / AU$1,519
- Expect multiple storage capacities at different prices
We haven't heard many iPhone 14 Plus price leaks, but one says it starts at $899. The 13GB iPhone 256 costs the same, and in other regions it's $879 / AU$1,519, so we can reasonably expect that. the iPhone 14 Plus is similar, if this leak is accurate.
Of course, that's just the starting price - you can expect there to be models with more storage for more money.
iPhone 14 Plus Design
- It will probably look like a larger iPhone 13
- wait a notch
The iPhone 14 Plus should look a lot like the iPhone 13, only bigger. It could also be a bit thicker, to accommodate a large battery, but the overall shape and design of the camera will likely be similar.
This phone is also believed to have a notch, although the Pro models are rumored to have a cutout in the screen for the camera components.
You can see what the iPhone 14 Plus would look like in the leaked image below – it's the larger model with just two rear cameras. This image is from a fictional unit and is by Sonny Dickson (opens in a new tab).

iPhone 14 Plus screen
- Leaks point to a 6,7-inch 1284 x 2778 display
- Expect OLED and a 60Hz refresh rate
Leaks suggest that the iPhone 14 Plus will have a 1284- or 2778-inch 6,7 x 6,68 OLED display, with a 60Hz refresh rate and 458 pixels per inch. In other words, it could be the same size and resolution as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but with a lower refresh rate.
An early leak pointed to a 120Hz display, but that seems unlikely as it hasn't been supported since and would presumably make the phone look too much like the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Camera iPhone 14 Plus
- Likely a 12MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide camera
- Leaks also point to a 12MP f/1.9 selfie camera
From what we've heard, the iPhone 14 Plus is likely to have an identical camera to the iPhone 14, which means it's likely to be almost identical to the iPhone 13 cameras.
Specifically, that means a 12MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide camera on the rear, with no telephoto lens: an initial leak pointed to a triple-lens camera, but all signs have since pointed to a dual-lens setup. . The specs may be updated in some way from last year, but we're not sure.
The only change we've heard is to the front camera, which will apparently have autofocus for the first time on an iPhone, as well as a change in aperture from f/2.2 to f/1.9; allowing more light. It will almost certainly stay at 12MP, like in the iPhone 13 range.
iPhone 14 Plus Specs and Features
- Leaks suggest an A15 Bionic chipset, like the iPhone 13
- 6 GB of RAM is likely
Most sources suggest that the iPhone 14 Plus will have an A15 Bionic chipset, just like we saw in the iPhone 13 lineup.
There's a chance it might be renamed, but functionally it'll probably be more or less the same silicon if leaks are to be believed, so don't expect full power, though the iPhone 13 lineup is always easily competitive with the best Android . The telephones. performance-wise, so it shouldn't be much of an issue.
There could also be 6GB of RAM, according to leaks, and likely a starting storage capacity of 128GB.
Sure, it will also run iOS 16 and will almost certainly support 5G, but the long-awaited switch to USB-C will apparently have to wait another year, with leaks pointing to a Lightning port on the iPhone 14 Plus.
Battery iPhone 14 Plus
- It may have a 4.325 mAh battery
- Lightning port expected to charge
The main battery leak we've seen indicates that the iPhone 14 Plus has a 4325mAh battery, which would actually be larger than all the others in the range according to this source, albeit only 2mAh more than the current one. max.
The idea of a large battery was also proposed by another source, although they did not specify its exact size. Charging will almost certainly be via a Lightning port (or wirelessly).
