KUALA LUMPUR: If you're wondering why the bigger version of the iPhone 14, that is the iPhone 14 Plus, is in store besides the three other models, it's because Apple will only release it to the Malaysian market from Oct 7, 2022.

The iPhone 14 Plus uses a 12MP main camera that features a larger sensor and larger pixels, a new front TrueDepth camera, the Ultra Wide camera to capture more of a scene, and Photonic Engine for a giant leap in low-light performance.
The Photonic Engine is a new technolgy that improves mid- to low-light performance for photos across all cameras: up to 2x on the Ultra Wide camera, 2x on the TrueDepth camera, and an impressive 2.5x on the new Main camera.
