If you own an iPhone XS Max or older and are only interested in having a bigger screen, you will be blown away by the iPhone 14 Plus. You're getting a higher quality display, faster processor, better cameras, improved battery life, more durability and all the new emergency features. If you are coming from a Plus model phone, like an iPhone 7 Plus with a 5.5-inch screen, the 14 Plus will seem like Big Daddy Don Bodine's truck, The Behemoth.

The inside of the Phone 14 Plus got the same redesign as the regular iPhone 14, which improves thermal management. The back glass on the rear is easier and more affordable to repair since it's no longer attached to internals.

The CMA said merging Activision with Microsoft could allow the tech giant to use games to 'damage' competition in the growing market for cloud gaming, which allows consumers to stream games to their devices in a manner similar to Netflix's offering for movies and TV shows.

Ever since the launched in 2018, there has been only one option for those who love big screens: Pay top dollar and get a Max model with extra features you might not necessarily need, like a telephoto camera or a high-refresh-rate display. I know many CNET readers, friends and co-workers who have shelled out $1,100 or more for an iPhone 12 Pro Max or 13 Pro Max because it was the only way to get a phone in the size they wanted. But that all changes now.
The $929 iPhone 14 Plus is either a big iPhone 14 or a scaled-back iPhone 14 Pro Max, depending on your perspective. With the arrival of the iPhone 14 Plus, Apple now has the most straightforward iPhone lineup in years. There are just two iPhone sizes: one with a 6.1-inch screen and the other with a 6.7-inch display. After you pick a size, you just need to decide between getting a regular iPhone or a Pro model.

The iPhone 14 Plus has an aluminum body with matte-finish sides and a glossy glass back. I tested the purple model, which in some situations looked nearly white and in others had a bright spring aesthetic, similar to the purple iPhone 11. Of course, most people will likely put a case on their 14 Plus, but luckily Apple makes a silicone case that's also purple.

The iPhone 14 Plus starts at $929 for a model with 128GB of storage, pkvgames or $899 if you activate with a carrier. That's $200 less than the iPhone 14 Pro Max and just $100 more than the regular iPhone 14. But that still makes it out of reach for many people. And that's disappointing, especially when you consider that the Android landscape is littered with large-screen, rectangular slabs that can be bought at nearly any price.

They allegedly recovered seven firearms, gel blasters, a replica handgun, a kilogram of tobacco, steroids, cannabis, a crystalised substance believed to be MDMA, a prohibited laser pointer and $1,600 cash.

Police intercepted a package sent from Batemans Bay, in New South Wales, to Queensland last month, with officers finding white powder hidden inside the toy from the international smash hit children's show on the ABC.

"The two Star casinos presently carrying on business in Queensland (Star Gold Coast and Treasury Brisbane) have been operated in a way that is inconsistent with the achievement of the objectives of the Casino Control Act," the report said.

Police also arrested and charged a 45-year-old man from North Batemans Bay with a number of offences related to illegal firearms, ammunition and possessing a gaming machine that isn't approved.
He was also granted a conditional bail.

"As a consequence, some of the business that was drawn in placed the casinos at real jeopardy of infiltration by persons whom The Star had reason to suspect were likely to have been involved in criminality," Mr Gotterson wrote.

"We have in black and white some damning findings about how this company has operated, how they dealt with the regulator, and their obligations to act in the public interest clearly were not taken seriously," she told reporters on Thursday.
