But I think that that's the capacity that a lot of people were going to go for anyway because it's a good deal as the next step up over 32 GB.

Coming from a 16GB 6s Owner, I barely even used all this memory. 32 GB is perfect for me, being photos and 4K video takes considerable memory usage.
what's so special about the jetblack iPhone 7 for me?
one simple plain answer: grip!
Have owned every single iPhone starting 3GS and up.....this is the first and only iPhone ever made with such a phenomanal grip (out of the box).
Where the iPhone 6S and 7 (non jetblack color) feels like your holding a soapblock, this jetblack iPhone gives you this feeling it sticks to your hands (no sweaty hands).
I am using the jetblack iPhone for 4 days now (naked), no visible scratches.
Same here. Loving mine.
1. It's new
2. Apple made a big deal about how it's made
This year more than ever it makes sense to me. If you're going to get a phone that already looks almost exactly like its last two predecessors, may as well get the brand new finish/color to stand out the most.

So Jealous, so angry. Buying a gold one is ok? Since most go into a case want to try again?
Apple are responsible for this.
They made it their flagship colour. Used it in all marketing material. Gave it an entirely new texture to any other colour. Don't offer it in base thirty two gb size. And have almost zero stock in stores
So that's your answer
That's fine for you, but fewer and fewer people are able to get by with the lowest tier these days (which Apple knows), so as I said, I think that a lot of people were going for 128 GB anyway and didn't get it just for the colour.
I had the regular black for a week and returned it for a 256 GB JB 7+ The JB is the best iPhone I used bar none.
- The feel and grip is amazing. It doesn't feel like I am holding a 5.5" device. It is fantastic.
- It doesn't have the metallic heavy feel of say 6+ or 6S+ or even the other 7+ phones.
- The finish is absolutely gorgeous.
Interesting. How do you know that Apple knows that? Have they directly admitted customers are in need of larger storage tiers?
Seriously? Perhaps folks want the JB because that's what they want. I call it a personal choice and decision.
Probably from sales data.
However, people will complain again about 32GB being too low when they go to 256GB and 512GB as the middle and upper tiers.
Is this really something to bicker over? Seems far removed from the original point. But the fact that the low to mid tier transition is a 4 fold jump and that by all accounts the 128 GB models are in the most in demand suggests that Apple expects most people to bypass the entry level, and that many if not most are.
Posters that use the terms "lame" and "boring" in this context are ridiculous. Even more so when they repeat vowels. I've said this before. I think it may have been in response to one of your posts.
Your interpretation of 'Bickering' is me asking you a question? Surely a two side conversation involves discussion, does it not?
Back on topic. You stated Apple Knows customers are able to get barely by these days with lower storage tiers. I asked you how do you know that and you replied with anecdotal superfluous evidence. That was my point. Where is your source for how Apple knows this?
It's not an argument. It's a discussion with a legitmate question.
It's limited, new and of course one of the new ways to identify one has the iPhone 7.
I'm not gonna lie when the Rose Gold first came out it was one of the reasons why I went with it but really grown to love it that I got it again. 7 Plus 256GB.
Pre-ordered the Matte Black as well but Rose Gold came in first, wasn't surprised. I'm happy.

That may be true of some, maybe even many
But some people might, just might like the color
What's special is the design and finish of the metal.
It hides the antenna lines and makes it look like one seamless block of black.
That's what's special about it. All the other colors show the antenna lines clearly, and you can see the color separation from the screen.
Jet black just looks uniform all around. People who appreciate good design will love it.
The extra grippiness is a big plus too
