CSS px are the units media queries see. Visible heights subtract the status bar and the Safari on iOS bars as set in our device profiles; real bar heights vary with settings and scrolling. The release year is that of the first model with each screen.
What this means for your layout
How the width difference affects your layout
The iPhone 14 Plus is 38 CSS px wider (428 vs 390, 10% more). One common breakpoint falls between them: (min-width: 414px) (a common large-phone test width) matches the iPhone 14 Plus but not the iPhone 14, so a rule written for that width applies on only one of the two.
In a 2-column card grid with 16 px page padding and 16 px gaps, each card is 190 px wide on the iPhone 14 Plus and 171 px on the iPhone 14. Check that buttons, prices and long words still fit in the narrower one.
Pixel density and image sizes
Both draw each CSS pixel with 3 × 3 device pixels, so text and icons are equally sharp. A full-width image (sizes="100vw") needs about 1170 px on the iPhone 14 and 1284 px on the iPhone 14 Plus to look sharp.
With a srcset such as 640w, 828w, 1080w, 1290w, 1440w, 1640w, 2048w, the browser would normally pick the 1290w file on the iPhone 14 and the same one on the iPhone 14 Plus.
Above 2× most people can't see much difference in photos, so capping photo candidates around twice the CSS width saves bytes on both. Keep SVG for icons and logos: they stay sharp at any ratio.
How much fits above the fold
On first load about 749 px of the page is visible on the iPhone 14 Plus and 667 px on the iPhone 14: 82 px less (12%) on the iPhone 14, roughly 3 lines of 16 px body text at a 1.5 line height.
If your main button sits just above the fold on the iPhone 14 Plus, it can end up below it on the iPhone 14. Keep the headline and the main action within the first 667 px, and size full-screen sections with 100svh rather than 100vh — see the 100vh problem on mobile.
In landscape
Turned sideways, the iPhone 14 is 844 px wide and the iPhone 14 Plus 926 px. The visible height drops to about 340 and 378 px, so a 64 px sticky header covers 19% and 17% of the screen — under the 25% at which MobileCheck flags fixed bars covering the page.
Same browser engine
Both are Apple devices, so both render with WebKit, the engine behind Safari. Engine quirks are the same; the differences above come from size alone. Chrome DevTools only emulates the size and still draws with Chromium, so check Apple devices in a WebKit browser — see how to test on an iPhone.

Frequently asked questions
Is the iPhone 14 screen bigger than the iPhone 14 Plus?
In CSS pixels, which decide how much of a page fits, the iPhone 14 Plus is larger: 428 × 926 against 390 × 844. The iPhone 14 Plus has more physical pixels (1284 × 2778), which makes it sharper rather than roomier.
Do I need different CSS for the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus?
Only if your breakpoints fall between 390 and 428 px: a min-width query at 414px applies to one and not the other. A fluid layout handles both without device-specific rules.
How much of a web page is visible on the iPhone 14 vs the iPhone 14 Plus?
About 390 × 667 CSS px on the iPhone 14 and 428 × 749 on the iPhone 14 Plus when a page first opens in portrait, after the status bar and Safari on iOS's bars. Bar heights are our device profiles' estimates.
