I work right across the Apple Store in Grand Central, so I decided to take a stroll down there to take a look at the new phones. The Jet Black is absolutely beautiful in person, and holding it, it feels like one cohesive piece of hardware. The glass and the Jet Black finish really come together perfectly. Interestingly enough, they had NO Jet Black Pluses on display. Absolutely none. They had all other finishes on display, just not the Jet Black Plus. As someone who's stuck in the October 18-30 group, I'm just trying to tell myself that it'll be worth the wait.
Surprising they didn't have any for display... although it kinda makes sense. They didn't want random people "testing" the durability of the display model. You never know with some people.
Back when the 6/6 Plus came out, an Apple Store employee told me people came in wanting to "test" if bendgate was real! You can imagine what happened next.
