The iPhone 14 range: what really exists

Apple launched four iPhone 14 models in 2022: the iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Plus, the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. There is no iPhone 14 mini, no iPhone 14 Max and no iPhone 14 Ultra.

Many people search for "iPhone 14" without knowing which model to choose. Others look for names that do not exist. Is the iPhone 14 worth buying in Cameroon today? This guide gives you the full map of the family, so you do not waste time or make a mistake.

Here are the four models, with the figures published by Apple:

The right reflex

When a seller offers you an iPhone, ask for the exact model name, the storage and the IMEI number. The only names in this family are iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. Any other name should alert you.

iPhone 14 mini, iPhone 14 Max: they do not exist

Apple never announced an iPhone 14 mini or an iPhone 14 Max. If you see these names, it is a mistake or a listing that needs checking.

These searches come up often. Here is what you need to know:

  • "iPhone 14 mini": the mini line ended with the iPhone 13 mini. Our catalogue still offers the iPhone 13 mini if you want a small phone.
  • "iPhone 14 Max": this name does not exist. The large model is called the iPhone 14 Plus or the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
  • "iPhone 14 Ultra": this name does not exist at Apple either.

If in doubt, message an adviser on WhatsApp before you pay.

What about the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro?

The iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro exist at Apple, but they are not in the Gafloow Store catalogue for now.

The iPhone 14 Plus is the big-screen (6.7-inch) version of the iPhone 14, with the same A15 Bionic chip and up to 26 hours of video. The iPhone 14 Pro is the 6.1-inch Pro version, with a 120 Hz screen, the Dynamic Island and a 48 MP main camera.

We only sell the models we can deliver. If you are looking for one of these two, contact an adviser: they will tell you whether it can be ordered. Otherwise, two alternatives are available right away:

What does "plain iPhone 14" mean?

"Plain iPhone 14" refers to the standard model: the iPhone 14, without "Pro" or "Plus".

It is not an official Apple name, but it is how many customers search for it. The "plain" iPhone 14 has a 6.1-inch screen, the A15 Bionic chip, a dual 12 MP camera and 5G. It is the cheapest iPhone 14 in our catalogue. Its full page is here: iPhone 14 256GB.

In 2026, is the iPhone 14 still a good buy?

Yes, if you want an iPhone at a reduced price. No, if you insist on USB-C or Apple's artificial intelligence.

The iPhone 14 models keep real strengths: a fast chip, 5G, water resistance and good battery life, especially on the Pro Max. What you give up compared with newer models:

  • a USB-C port: the iPhone 14 charges through a Lightning port, like older iPhones;
  • Apple Intelligence: Apple keeps it for the iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 16 and later (see Apple's page);
  • the camera: the standard model keeps a 12 MP main camera, while the iPhone 15 moves to 48 MP.

SIM or eSIM: check before you buy

Apple's US page states that the iPhone 14 models work with eSIM only. The version you receive may vary depending on its country of origin. Ask your adviser which version is delivered, then check with your network (MTN, Orange or Camtel) that eSIM is available if needed.

Before you buy: three checks

For a phone of this value, check three points: the phone is brand new, its IMEI is clean and the warranty is clear.

  1. Brand new and sealed. A genuine new iPhone arrives in a sealed box. Our guide on how to buy a phone safely lists the points to check.
  2. Clean IMEI. Our guide on checking the IMEI shows how to do it in a few minutes.
  3. Clear warranty. Find our terms on the warranty and returns page and the delivery page.

You then order on WhatsApp, without creating an account. Your adviser replies in under 5 minutes and confirms the colour, the storage and payment by Orange Money or MTN MoMo.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an iPhone 14 mini?

No. Apple never released an iPhone 14 mini. The last "mini" model is the iPhone 13 mini, which our catalogue still offers. For a 6.1-inch screen, choose the iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro.

Do you sell the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro?

These two models exist at Apple, but they are not in our catalogue for now. Message an adviser on WhatsApp to ask whether they can be ordered. The iPhone 14 models available with us are the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

What does "plain" iPhone 14 mean?

It is the name many people give to the standard model, without "Pro" or "Plus". Its real name is iPhone 14. It has a 6.1-inch 60 Hz screen, the A15 Bionic chip and a dual 12 MP camera.

What is the difference between the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max?

The Pro Max has a 6.7-inch screen with ProMotion up to 120 Hz, the Dynamic Island, the A16 Bionic chip and a 48 MP main camera. The iPhone 14 has a 6.1-inch 60 Hz screen, the A15 Bionic chip and a 12 MP main camera. Apple also announces up to 29 hours of video for the Pro Max, vs 20 hours for the 14.

Is the iPhone 14 still worth it in 2026?

Yes, if you are looking for an iPhone at a reduced price: it is fast, water resistant and 5G-ready. However, it has a Lightning port and no Apple Intelligence, which is kept for the iPhone 15 Pro and later models. If those two points matter to you, look at the iPhone 15.

Do iPhone 14 models take a SIM card in Cameroon?

It depends on the version delivered. Apple's US page lists eSIM only. Ask your adviser which version you will receive, then check that your network (MTN, Orange or Camtel) offers eSIM.
