Does the Apple iPhone 14 Plus have infrared capabilities?

The iPhone 14 Plus does not have an infrared sensor, so it cannot use the infrared function to control household appliances such as air conditioners. However, Apple's iPhone can be controlled by smart home devices that support homekit, and as long as the home device supports homekit, it can be controlled on the phone. In addition, many devices now support APP operations or home gateways, so home devices can also be controlled in this way.
