Every iPhone 14 Plus model has a 6.7-inch (diagonal) haptic-touch "Super Retina XDR" display (2778x1284, 458 ppi) that covers almost the entire front. It has three cameras. The front-facing "TrueDepth" camera, located in the "notch," supports Face ID, has an f/1.9 aperture, captures 12-megapixel photos, and records 4K video. The rear features a dual-camera system with 12-megapixel, 4K-capable Main (f/1.5 aperture) and Ultra Wide (f/2.4 aperture, 120-degree field of view) cameras. Apple highlights these cameras as having a new "Photonic Engine" for better low-light performance. The rear cameras also introduce a new "Action mode" for improved motion correction and an enhanced "Cinematic mode" with simulated depth effect, now supporting 4K (30 fps, 24 fps).
The iPhone 14 Plus has an aluminum case with flat sides and a glass front and back. The front is protected by a "Ceramic Shield" cover for durability, and the back includes an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connection. It is IP68-rated for splash, water, and dust resistance (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes). Initially available in five colors—(pale) Blue, (pale) Purple, "Midnight" (black), "Starlight" (warm gray), and (PRODUCT) RED—a sixth color, Yellow, was added on March 7, 2023.
