New iPhones are here! And an exciting shift in this lineup is that the company has introduced iPhone 14 Plus as the replacement for the 13 mini. Here, we will go through the specs, features, leaks, rumors, and expected price of the iPhone 14 Plus in Nepal.

iPhone 14 Plus Overview:

Same old design

Apple released four smartphones in the iPhone 14 lineup, as it did last year: the 14 Pro Max, 14 Pro, 14 Plus, and vanilla 14. However, the iPhone 14 Plus is the only new size in the lineup, sporting a 6.7-inch screen for the first time in a non-pro model.

This is a Super Retina XDR OLED display with a resolution of 2778 x 1284 pixels. It has a P3 color gamut and True Tone support and can reach 1200 nits of brightness. While we’ve heard rumors of a 90Hz smoothness, it’s clear now that Apple is sticking with its good ol’ 60Hz refresh rate. Anyways, you do get a flagship-grade Ceramic Shield protection on the front complemented with an oleophobic coating for fingerprint resistance.

The iPhone 14 Plus retains the bathtub-style notch of the iPhone 13. The chassis is made of aerospace-grade aluminum and comes in five different colors: Midnight, Purple, Starlight, (PRODUCT) RED, and Blue.

A15 Bionic

While the display gets a minor upgrade, the iPhone 14 Plus gets important internal upgrades. To begin with, it is powered by the A15 Bionic chip. But it’s worth noting that this is the version with a 5-core GPU present in the 13 Pro duo. Contrary to this, a 4-core GPU is available in vanilla and mini phones. Thus, Apple claims that it will provide an 18% performance boost over last year’s non-pro models.

In terms of raw performance, the A15 Bionic remains ahead of the current best chip from MediaTek and Qualcomm. So we are sure that you will not be disappointed with the performance. Similarly, the 14 Plus is available in three storage capacities: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.

Connectivity

The A15 Bionic also supports 5G connectivity. And Apple dropped some major announcements regarding this. Beginning with the iPhone 14 Series, the US model will only support eSIM. And there will also be support for satellite connectivity.

According to Apple, satellite connectivity required the development of entirely new hardware and software to enable message transmission without the use of bulky antennas. This is, of course, an emergency feature that should not be used on a regular basis.

Before you can communicate, you must first locate the satellite single. The iPhone 14 Plus will direct you in the right direction until the satellite connection is established. However, Apple notes that this feature is only available outside with a “clear view of the sky.”

Even if there is no cellular connectivity, once the iPhone is connected to a satellite signal, you will be able to send a message or call an emergency service. You can also use FindMy to share your location with friends and family. This service is currently free for two years for iPhone 14 buyers and will be available in November for users in the United States and Canada.

Cameras

As for the cameras, the iPhone 14 Plus still has a 12MP dual camera setup on the back. However, the main camera now uses a larger sensor and larger pixels (1.9µm, up from 1.7µm) and a brighter f/1.5 aperture. All this translates in a 49% increment in light capture compared to the iPhone 13.

There are also some new software features. The new iPhones bring deep integration of hardware and software with a feature called Photonic Engine, which improves photo performance in low-light conditions across all camera sensors. That is a 2x increase in the ultra-wide camera, a 2x increase in the front TrueDepth camera, and a 2.5X increase in the primary sensor.

In addition, for more stable videos, there is a new Action mode that eliminates the need for gimbals and supports capturing videos in Dolby Vision HDR. The maximum video recording resolution is [email protected]

Moreover, the selfie camera also sees some upgrades with a new TrueDepth camera and, for the first time, an autofocus feature. The hardware improvements result in 38% more light capture and improved low-light performance.

Battery

Finally, the iPhone 14 Plus battery is rated to deliver up to 26 hours of video playback, which Apple claims is the best battery on an iPhone ever. However, there is no upgrade to the charging department. That means you’ll still have to choose between 20W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and 7.5W Qi wireless charging.
