How To Unlock Iphone 14 Plus In 3 Easy Steps
1. Connect Your iPhone to Your Computer
Now that you have all the necessary tools, the next step is to connect your iPhone 14 Plus to your computer. Take your Lightning cable and plug it into your iPhone’s charging port, then plug the other end of the cable into your computer. If you’re using a Windows computer, open iTunes. If you’re using a Mac, open Finder. Your iPhone should show up in iTunes or Finder as an icon in the sidebar.
Now, on your iPhone, you’ll need to tap “Trust” on the pop-up that appears. This will allow your computer to access your iPhone’s data. If you don’t see the pop-up, check to make sure your iPhone’s screen is unlocked. Once you’ve tapped “Trust,” you’re ready to move on to the next step.
2. Put Your iPhone Into Recovery Mode
In order to reset your iPhone and start the unlocking process, you’ll need to put it into recovery mode. Don’t worry, it’s easy to do.
On an iPhone 14 Plus, start by pressing and quickly releasing the “Volume Up” button.
Then, press and quickly release the “Volume Down” button. Finally, press and hold the “Side” button until the screen goes black. Keep holding the “Side” button as the Apple logo appears, and then release the button once you see the “Connect to iTunes” screen.
If you’re using an older model of iPhone, the process will be slightly different. You can check Apple’s support website for instructions on how to put your specific model into recovery mode.
Once your iPhone is in recovery mode, you’ll see a message on your computer that says “There is a problem with the iPhone that requires it to be updated or restored.” Don’t worry – this is normal. Simply click “Restore” and follow the prompts to restore your iPhone. Once your iPhone has been restored, it will be unlocked and ready to use.

To install the latest version of iOS, open iTunes or Finder on your computer and connect your iPhone to it. Then, click “Update” when prompted. Once the installation is complete, your iPhone will restart and you’ll be able to set it up as usual.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can the iPhone 14 Plus use a SIM card?
Yes, the iPhone 14 Plus can definitely use a SIM card. In fact, all iPhones released since the iPhone 5 can use a SIM card. The SIM card allows you to connect to a cellular network, which is required for making phone calls and accessing the internet. So, if you’re planning on using your iPhone 14 Plus for anything other than just apps and games, you’ll need a SIM card. Luckily, it’s pretty easy to get one – you can pick one up at most major retailers or directly from your cellular provider.
2. What size storage does the iPhone 14 Plus come in?
The iPhone 14 Plus comes in two storage sizes – 128GB and 256GB. The 128GB model is great for most people who use their phone for everyday things like calls, texts, social media, and photos. However, if you’re someone who takes a lot of photos and videos, or you like to download a lot of music and movies, you may want to consider the 256GB model. Keep in mind that both models can be expanded with a microSD card, so you can always add more storage later if you need it.
3. Is the iPhone 14 Plus waterproof?
The iPhone 14 Plus is indeed water resistant. It has an IP68 rating, which means it can withstand water up to a depth of 6 meters for up to 30 minutes. So, if you accidentally drop it in the sink or spill a drink on it, it should be just fine. However, it’s still not a good idea to go swimming with your phone – even if it’s water resistant, water can still damage the screen or other components.
Just to be clear, water resistance is not the same as waterproof.
4. What colors does the iPhone 14 Plus come in?
The iPhone 14 Plus is available in four colors – Midnight, Purple, Yellow, Starlight, Blue, and Product Red. Midnight is a deep, dark blue-black color. Starlight is a light, champagne-like gold color. Blue is a deep, saturated blue color. And Product Red is a bold, vivid red color. Which one is your favorite?
Keep in mind that the color you choose may impact the availability of certain models. So, if you have your heart set on a specific color, you may want to order it sooner rather than later.
5. How much does the iPhone 14 Plus cost?
The iPhone 14 Plus starts at $899 for the 128GB model and $999 for the 256GB model. These prices are for the unlocked, SIM-free models. If you purchase the phone through a carrier, you may be able to get a discount or payment plan. And, of course, these prices may vary depending on your location and the specific retailer you purchase from.
