Anyone else miss space grey?

I feel like I'm the only one that liked the black silver combination. Looked more premium to me.

I got matte black and it's just so boring. Any other space grey fans?

I currently have a space grey 6 plus, and would've liked space grey again.

Will be ordering the matte black, as my OCD won't allow me to own the jet black, and I don't want a white front.

I'm sorry Space Gray is no longer a color option. I got matte black. Would love a rose gold with a black front.
 
I thought I would miss it. Just went to the store and I love the matte black. Don't miss SG at all. Now my watch would be another story. 😉
 
I liked the original space grey that debuted with the iPhone 5S. That was the darkest version Apple ever did and was a nice middle ground between the slate finish on the iPhone 5 and plain aluminum. But on the 6 series and later, space grey became just a slightly darker shade of silver and I wasn't as big of a fan. Also, the new matte black looks really really nice!

Personally i missed the black face on my 6+; but opted for the rose gold for a change last year, soon to be replaced with the incredible matte.....back to black i guess🙂.
 
My 6S+ was space gray and I've had black faced phones since the beginning but I went with the silver this year and I love it.

Whites the new black 😎
 
Nope, not missing space grey at all. The space grey on the 5S looked good, however on the 6 and 6S the space grey resembles silver too much.

Only on the iPhone 5 design series like 5s and SE.

Nay to the space gray from the 6 series.

When I saw the OnePlus 3, I was hardly impressed by its design. Apple hasn't wowed me in phone design in years. Maybe since iPhone 5s? Or maybe the 4? I knew while matte black iPhone 7/7+ will be more resistant to smudges as jet black, it just felt kinda meh in design. Mainly because I really wasn't in love with the slate iPhone 5 either thanks to Scuffgate.

Neither black options are terrible. You can argue both options are the best for the 6-like series design. Black looks a darker shade of the space gray with a hint of slate 5 that I didn't care for. While jet black could be ugly in real life and sleek in promo shots. A slight throwback to the 3G/3Gs. I just figured both black options would lose their luster rather quickly once the excitement of getting it wore off.

Only took a few days for the luster to wear off to the thread starter with the matte black. Millennial ADHD alert! Just kidding! 😉

Love my matte black. I was never a fan of space grey, though. I think the matte black has a very high end, James Bond sort of look/feel.

To me , colour is irrelevant as i always use a case. But if i had to choose, i would go with matte black. Space grey is nice too, Jet black looks like a chinese knock off.

It's strange that they got rid of the space grey, they got rid of the black on the iphone 5 because of all the marks it made. Pretty sure gonna be the same issue on the 7.
