All iPhone 14 Plus models have a haptic-touch capable 6.7" (diagonal) "Super Retina XDR" display (2778x1284, 458 ppi) that occupies nearly the entire front of the device. It has three cameras. On the front -- tucked in the "notch" -- is a "TrueDepth" camera that in addition to supporting Face ID, has a f/1.9 aperture, takes 12 megapixel photos, and shoots 4K video. The rear packs dual 12 megapixel, 4K video-capable Main (f/1.5 aperture) and Ultra Wide (f/2.4 aperture, 120-degree field of view) cameras. Apple promotes these cameras as supporting a new "Photonic Engine" for improved low-light support. The rear cameras also have a new "Action mode" for improved motion correction and an enhanced "Cinematic mode" with a simulated depth effect that now supports 4K (30 fps, 24 fps).
The iPhone 14 Plus uses an aluminum case with flat sides and has a glass front and back. The front has a "Ceramic Shield" cover for durability and the back has an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connection. It is splash, water, and dust-resistant to the IP68 standard (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes). It has five original color options -- (pale) Blue, (pale) Purple, "Midnight" (black), "Starlight" (a warm gray), and (PRODUCT) RED, with a sixth option -- Yellow -- added on March 7, 2023.
Internally, the iPhone 14 Plus is powered by a 3.2 GHz "Apple A15 Bionic" processor with six cores -- two performance cores and four efficiency cores -- as well as a 5-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine. It has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of flash storage. It also supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO, 5G wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, Ultra Wideband "for spatial awareness," NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve" for compatible transit systems, Crash Detection, Emergency SOS, and support for dual hardware nano-SIMs (it does not support eSIM).
