Overview

Be aware that this A2887 iPhone 14 Plus is compatible with 5G NR bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n26, n28, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n70, n77, n78, and n79. It does not support 5G NR mmWave bands n258, n260, and n261. It was reportedly intended for carriers in Russia, as well as Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.


Every iPhone 14 Plus model has a 6.7-inch (diagonal) haptic-touch enabled "Super Retina XDR" display (2778x1284, 458 ppi) that covers nearly the entire front. It has three cameras. The front "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 has 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.


Internally, the iPhone 14 Plus is driven by a 3.2 GHz "Apple A15 Bionic" processor with a six-core CPU (two performance, four efficiency), 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 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," Crash Detection, Emergency SOS, and both dual eSIMs and a single hardware nano-SIM.


Apple's battery life estimates for the iPhone 14 Plus are "up to" 100 hours of audio playback, 26 hours of video playback, and 20 hours of streamed video.


While original pricing differed by country, in Kazakhstan, this iPhone 14 Plus was initially priced at KZT 629,990, 699,990, and 839,990 for 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB of storage, respectively.

Evaluation

The iPhone 14 Plus A2887 specifically engineered for Russian and CIS markets distinguished itself as a regionally optimized large-screen smartphone, receiving outstanding praise from Eastern European technology publications for its thoughtful adaptation to local network infrastructure and user preferences. Russian technology media including iXBT, 3DNews, and Hi-Tech.Mail.Ru consistently highlighted the device's carefully selected 5G band configuration that prioritized extensive sub-6GHz coverage across Russia's vast territorial expanse where mmWave deployment remained limited. The exceptional 100-hour audio playback and 26-hour video capabilities proved particularly valuable for users in regions with challenging power infrastructure, while the generous 6.7-inch display provided an optimal platform for content consumption during extended Russian winter months when indoor entertainment became essential.
