Anyone else miss space grey?

[a sleepy bear]

Definitely loved the two tone, even if they just merge a black screen w/ silver back. Really would like to see a shiny silver w/ black screen, like the stainless steel Apple Watch, but probably not going to happen w/ JB as an option.

Side note, would have been awesome to have gold and rose gold antenna bands, seems like a no brainer iteration, but we never got this.

I had 3 SG phones. Glad to now have the actual black I wanted all along. I would also like an all white phone like my 4 was.

 

[brojan]

YES. Not impressed with MB or JB. Somehow looks dull.

I got tired of space gray some time ago. I don't mind it on my SE because I have so many great cases.

Space gray was Apples mistake, wish they kept the black color from the 5 to the 6 series. Glad it's back!

 

[Tsuchiya]

No, I'm glad they've finally changed it. Space grey sucked.

 

[Bako-MacAddict]

Never like the space grey to be honest. The matte black is stealthy looking, although I recently purchased a brown leather nomad case for mines and it looks pretty good.

How you liking the quality of the leather ? Just bought mine today, the grey one. My phone comes in tomorrow, couldn't be more excited lol

I didn't hate the freycas much as I know some did but I also don't think it's something I'll miss.

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!

Honestly I think the 5s colors were the best iPhone colors ever. The gold was a more subtle, classy "champagne" gold. Space Grey was darker and the silver just seemed to pop a little better. No idea why they change things up with the 6 series.

I just wish more colors didn't have the white front... then I would barely care what I had.

This. I would have gotten silver if the front was black, I don't like the way the white looks. The flat black is very sharp looking now that I have it though.

 

[joshwithachance]

God no. The matte black is the iPhone I've been wanting since the slate 5 got replaced.

 

[noteple]

Flat & Matte

 

[unobtainium]

I like the double colors. iPhone 5 slate was tbe best color combo ever, 5S/SE with the space grey is great too.

This.

I was really hoping the matte Black would look slate-ish, but it doesn't. It's just boring black.

No. it was never grey anyway. It was silver.

There have been darker Space Gray variants. Those were always my favorites.

 

[Macshroomer]

I have had iPhones in the 3,4,5 & 6 and Space Gray has been my favorite color, would have ordered it again had it been available. I love the combo of the all black face with the military aircraft look of dark silver.

The rumored blue color that was floating around pre-announcement was pretty awesome too, totally would have went for that, medium blue anodized with a navy blue bezel....yeah, that would have been sick.

That bieng said, I am going with get-right-down-to-business matte black on my 7+.

 

[pika2000]

Nope. People liked space grey because it was the "black" colored iPhone. Now we have real black.
Having said that, I do want more colors. Nanochromatic. I mean black is nice, but clearly Apple has ignored the gold/rose gold colors as they don't even care to color match the freakin white antenna bands, but they did so for the black one.

 

[CEmajr]

Glad to see space gray go and a true black iPhone back again. Never liked that color. Now the black iPhone 5, that was beautiful.

 

[HarryWild]

Not at all!

 

[criminycraft]

I would've gotten gray if the front was black. That being I said I still like the matte black that I ordered.

 

[johnothy]

I wouldn't have minded a dark blue color, but it really doesn't matter since mine is in a case and I never hardly see the back of it.

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 think the rose gold is great with the white. The regular gold on the other hand would do great being paired with black. Or alternatively I would love Apple to steal the Blue Coral color from the Note 7. (blue front and black with gold accents).

I like the double colors. iPhone 5 slate was tbe best color combo ever, 5S/SE with the space grey is great too.

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!

No way. In my opinion, the space gray on the 5s and SE are the UGLIEST colors Apple has ever produced. The bodies are WAY too light to match the pure black glass parts I feel.

 

[garirry]

I have yet to go to the Apple Store to take a look at the iPhone 7, but from the videos and pictures, I prefer Black over Space Grey. However, I love both just as much. Silver is also great but I don't like the white display. I don't like Slate though, it's too dark.

 

[PhillyGuy72]

I do miss the iPhone 4 and 5 colors. I did have front and back Zagg protectors on both of these..maybe I overdid it, but I never had a single scratch on those in the 2 years I had each of those models. I have the 6+ Space Gray...if I get the 7, still debating if I go for Jet Black+ (My number 1 choice..however I still have to see how bad these scratches really are in the next few weeks on the forum - even with clear cases) or the Matte Black+.

I always thought all black was slick.

 

[Booji]

I certainly liked it, but won't miss it. Time for a change. Very much looking forward to the matte black.

 

[resaka]

I miss it. I still have my iPhone 6 with space grey and wish they had it this time around.

I am not saddened that they chose to instead focus on black this time around. I'm more sad that my favorite choice ended up being everyone else's favorite too.

I don't miss it, space grey was the compromise for wanting a black iPhone.
