Apple May Add 'Jet White' Color Option for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

[aloshka]

"Jet" white is not a color!!!
Jet Black is so named, because the color of jet (a hard, dense coal) is black.

You just think you know everything....don't you? Well did you know that the sun is hot to the touch? Huh? Didn't think so.

but but but it's suppose to be the iPhone 8 for the tenth anniversary.

And 8 is a very lucky number in parts of Asia, I hear. A gold 8 iPhone? A doubly lucky phone! Think it will improve sales?

Glad apple is the only company that provides more color choice than any other company (nice looking color)

There can only ever be one company that provides more colour choice than any other company.
[doublepost=1478538414][/doublepost]I think this could look lovely. I was wondering why they hadn't done this when they did the Jet Black.

You better get going and let all those people on the Internet selling products called "Jet White" know that they are violating color labeling laws.

There is no such thing as white anodizing, so to create a white iPhone 7, one of two things has to happen:

1. The body will remain aluminum, but will have some other kind of durable coating, perhaps a ceramic glaze or paint; or
2. The body will no longer be aluminum, but will be solid ceramic, like the white Apple Watch Edition.

Given that the white Apple Watch is a premium-priced product, I can't see option 2 happening, and option 1 is a bit of a crap-shoot.

Having seen the polished and matte black side-by-side, I cannot understand why anyone would want the glossy one. It's a magnet for greasy fingerprints and scratches. The matte looks way more "stealth".

But how about white glass? Remember when Apple had huge troubles figuring how to make a proper white glass display bezel? They solved it, and with the next phone rumored to be all glass...

Now that's innovation...

Have you looked at the official colors of cars?

You can get the 2017 Accord in Crystal Black, or Orchid White.

Or you can get the BMW 5 Series in "JET BLACK".

You can get the Prius in "moonglow" or "sun fusion" or my favorite "Tangerine Splash Pearl".

I didn’t say they were the only ones and usually you get vilified on here for car comparisons. Also, look here…….

Oh, I'm sorry.... am I speaking with the one netizen unaware of how Poe's Law works??!
Unless you know that guy personally or closely follow his post history, you (like everyone else) have ZERO idea of whether or not his straightforward statement is actually sarcasm.
That is why we have smileys, the term "jk", & the /sarcasm tag.

Calm down, jeez. Also I must apologise that the forum police have mandated that you must clearly indicate when sarcsam is used. /s

 

[myrtlebee]

You always have to be extra careful when you call other people ignorant. The dictionary definitions make it clear that the most common use is to indicate an intense black, not the gemstone use

I am extra careful. And I'm right. The origin of the term jet black does indeed stem from the gemstone jet. I have a degree in Art & Design, so you may want to try again.

 

[Aluminum213]

They better not . That wouldn't be fair bc I would like to have that color

No one forced you to buy an iPhone 7

 

[Andres Cantu]

So the most popular color in the world is blue, yet Apple continues to release very similar colors. Great.

 

[jamezr]

Wow. Doesn't that constant negative view on everything in life get tiresome? It's never too late to change your outlook; you'll be amazed how much better it feels to have a positive take on most things.

Don't mistake factual with with negativity. New iphone colors are ALWAYS out of stock because they are in high demand. Do you remember when the Gold color was first introduced? It was out of stock for months. Do you remember the Rose Gold color? It was also out of stock for months. Have you read how hard it has been to get a Jet Black iphone? The Jet white will be the same....not negative...but factual.
Then honestly...isn't your reply to me...exactly what you are complaining about?

 

[indychris]

This!! They launched about 60 days ago and still do not have a single 7+ in stock here in Arizona at least ar any of the Apple stores and if you want to order it online it's anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks, unreal.

I see several 7+ phones in stock in the phoenix area, including a couple of stores that have Sim-free 256GB options. I've picked up two for the family in the last two weeks simply by using one of the 'stock' sites around noon EST. Both phones took me less than a day to acquire. Buy them online when they are in stock, and pick them up within 48 hours.

 

[satchmo]

This would actually have some meaning, given Apple's previous ties with Disney.

My guess is the previous post might have been referring the G3 iMac...in Snow White.

 

[Konrad74]

Jet white??!?

Pure white. Modern white. Absolute white. Maybe.

Jet white??

 

[DrumApple]

LOL that would be the fugliest looking phone out there.

 

[sudo1996]

The white option was the main reason to buy the iPhone 5C. It looks so nice.

 

[teflonthadon]

I would have to definitely get this but would have to get Apple Care bc I will not cover this up with a sleazy case . Naked all the way

 

[Gathomblipoob]

ya well this is america, the term jet in america means really really fast. maybe you think my face is jet black ?

How marvelously provincial!

 

[doboy]

I would upgrade my iPhone 6s+ for this

The point was whether people were "ignorant" as you called them for using "jet" to mean intense, as in "jet black" "jet blue" and yes "jet white." No one disputes and it doesn't matter where it originated from, it's how it is used in common parlance. You were calling people ignorant when their use of "jet" as meaning "intense" is used vastly more than your obscure reference to some gemstone that few have ever heard of.

 

[Breaking Good]

Jet White. I reckon Apple has a whole department for coming up with lame names.

All those people in the new spaceship campus need something to do because they certainly aren't designing new products.

 

[dvoros]

I always wanted a white one....its about time

Not true. Jet is normally only used for intense black. Any use before another color is simply wrong. Jet is not a synonym for intense. Jet is a description of a type of black - specifically the intense black of the gemstone jet. Any other use in front of another color is indeed ignorant.

I thought the same thing re: the JB until I gave in and bought one. It's GORGEOUS. And, smudges wipe off easily.

I think that the white will be ceramic.

And expensive.

I like black most but probably would consider white over the 50 shades of galaxy/space/universe grey.
