iPhone 14 Plus

歴史的背景

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus were announced at the Apple Event in Apple Park in Cupertino, California on September 7, 2022, alongside the higher-priced iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max flagships. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus feature a 6.1-inch (15 cm) and 6.7-inch (17 cm) display, improvements to the rear-facing camera, and satellite connectivity. The iPhone 14 was made available on September 16, 2022 and iPhone 14 Plus was made available on October 7, 2022 respectively, and was launched with iOS 16. Pre-orders for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus began on September 9, 2022. The iPhone 14 Plus replaces the iPhone 13 Mini in Apple’s lineup. It is the first iPhone to bring back the "Plus" moniker since the iPhone 8 Plus in 2017. iPhone 14 and 14 Plus models (as well as iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models) sold in the United States drop support for physical SIM cards, making them the first iPhone models since the CDMA variant of the iPhone 4 to not come with a discrete SIM card reader. Crash Detection is a feature built into the iPhone 14 that is designed to detect severe car crashes and automatically initiates an emergency phone call after 20 seconds after it is detected unless the user cancels it. The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus feature the same camera system with three cameras: one front-facing camera (12MP f/1.9), and two back-facing cameras: a wide (12MP f/1.5) and ultra-wide (12MP f/2.4) camera, with the wide and front-facing cameras having a faster aperture than the iPhone 13. The front facing camera also has autofocus for the first time. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are available in five colors: Blue, Purple, Midnight, Starlight, and Product Red. Purple is a new color replacing Pink used on the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. Yellow was added as a new color in March 2023. To comply with mandates, the iPhone 14 models, along with the iPhone SE (third generation), were discontinued in the European Union in 2024, completing the iPhone's transition from a Lightning connection to USB-C.
