Oh well that’s me convinced, and here I was proceeding on the notion that it is actually pretty good. Guess I was mistaken, Thanks Z.

I’ll sell my 14 Pro straight away and start looking at for one of the 1000 or so copy and paste Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme etc devices that have been released over the past 24 hours…..🤦‍♂️

    iOS wishes it was MIUI….priceless 🤪

      This whole American lib-right view of "well we are better and you're just poor" has been present in tech since the dawn of time and Apple is the basic casus belli for this ideology.

      You are putting certain companies on a pedestal. Stop this.

        Other thing newer iphone use more power and throttle less, in Golden reviewer video they use over 5W of power compare to 13 pro max which use around 4W power in sustained perfomance.

        This also can lead to reduction of battery life.

Thanks for letting the world know that what is considered by many to be the best mobile OS is "garbage"! I am sure that Apple's stock will tumble now and Xiaomi's will shoot up. And Xiaomi will abandon ripping off iOS with MiUI and will hire you to head its UX team. LOL.

              GSMArena, you used to include in the alternatives section of your review, how the phone compares to it's alternative, like for example ..with S22+ you get a better display but an inferior chipset, you get a telephoto, other cameras are comparable/ better/ inferior...

              Dropping that kind of comparison lately is making your reviews kind of pointless, because most phones are good in isolation, I read a review to see how it stacks up against competition!!

                I'd go for a new 12T Pro, however. Especially if it gets Lineage OS support down the line.

                              blue, 15 Oct 2022I'll correct you - every phone manufacturer does the same.No.

                                The 14 Plus is the worst buy in the iPhone lineup. Don't buy this.
                                Get the 13 Pro Max, brand new even cheaper below €1200. It has stainless steel build, better screen with 120Hz vs 60Hz and 1000nits vs 800nits, it has telephoto sensor and a better ultrawide sensor, lidar scanner, it does 10 bit HDR which the 14 Plus doesn't, ProRes and Cinematic Mode all things the 14 Plus doesn't do. You're paying big money and skipping on all these goodies man? 13 Pro Max is a better iPhone all around, why would anyone buy the 14 Plus? To say they have the more recent model? haha

                                    What i will never understand of apple is how can charge 1000€ for
                                    such a trashy phone with outdated and out of place specs for a "premium" phone,
                                    i think is better for apple to stop this trashy marketing with "low end, top prices" models.

                                    Because each year it becomes more ridiculous, and seeing people buying the base iphones just makes my brain blow away....

                                    Phones you can buy for less than 1k include S22+ ( already better specced ), Pixel 7 Pro, P50 Pro, Vivo X80 ( with deals also the pro ) hugely better deal, old Xiaomi 12 Pro, or new 12S Pro.... There is a long list.

                                    Let's see what this iphone 14 plus has to compensate the price.
                                    -> Last gen CPU ( even if up to task ).
                                    -> 5 or 6 gen behind cameras, and no proper tele.
                                    -> No high refresh screen ( good damn we're talking about 1k phone!!! ).
                                    -> No USB C and no Jack.
                                    -> Being the low-mid end of apple.

                                    Despite this, yea battery is one of the best, but hey cmon for less you can also
                                    have an android with same great battery but at much less.

                                        If anybody buys the iPhone 14 Plus without considering the iPhone 13 Pro Max, they're an idiot.
