Apple Prototyped a Jet Black iPhone X

Umm, is it just me or does that Jet Black iPhone X (first picture) definitely have an Apple logo on it? You have to zoom in on it, but it is there.

Yes, it's there, just extremely hard to see as pointed out already

Well if it wasn’t scratched it would be nice and shiny.

jet black iPhone 7 was the best. don't care if it scratched easily. looked great!

But some people like me scratch their phone easily. That’s why the iPhone 7 wasn’t that good.

Wow I keep thinking that the space grey on the X was dark but next to jet black I am reminded of how light it still is.

Space gray and jet black pretty much look exactly the same to me.

 

[macsareveryinteresting]

Let's be honest, the iPhone X is still the best looking iPhone that Apple has ever made, especially in Silver.
I would really have preferred this Jet Black to the Space Gray we got tho.

So far... iPhone 13 may have a better design but we don’t know that for sure yet.

4 & 12 are the best looking iPhones. Hopefully we can all agree that 6 was hands down the worst looking iPhone.

Maybe. I would actually say the 2G was the worst look iPhone.

I loved my Jet Black 7 and felt it was the only good looking phone in the 6 style design (which I generally hated). The X looked beautiful in photos but I was put off when first seeing them irl and discovering the “black” was a muddy gray and the white a “pearl” color. Both clashed with the stainless steel sides imo

Looks pretty nice.

Loved my jet black 7 Plus -- never used a case the entire time and it still looked great after two years. The best part, though was how grippy the surface was. It was so easy to hold.

Then what do you call that Apple logo in the picture supplied in the article?

my Jet Black iphone 7 still alive and kicking, hand me down for 3 person now.

It's a nice shade of black but I'd no doubt scratch it a lot. When the 7 came out I'd have chosen the other black.

Black iPhone 5 for the win.🔥😍🤤

I still think the 4/4s where the best form factors of iPhone, followed by the iPhone 12. I just love that squared look.

I prefer the block design of the 12. I don’t have to have a case on it. I can grip it so easy. The 6-11 curved design was a bar of soap for me.

Agree. The 4/4s was stunning. A glass sandwich of stainless steel. Was also the last decent iPhone reveal event, Steve was good.

I remember handling a 5 and thinking it was an empty dummy phone as it was so light!

Totally agree 😂 still remember getting mine on launch day. How time flies 🥺

 

[ColdShadow]

Doesn’t look that good,the matt jet black is nice like the iPhone 7 and the amazing Phantom Black Samsung S21 Ultra.

 

[Mainyehc]

Nope. You guys are all wrong. Apple’s best design ever was the 3G iPod with solid-state touchwheel and buttons backlit in red. Fight me.

Edit: come on, @NetMage, is a thumbs-down the best ya got? 😉

 

[cwwilson]

Still think about my Jet Black 7+ from time to time. Such a gorgeous finish!

 

[FHoff]

my 7 looked great!... the day I sold it when I took the case off for the first time in years.... honestly who cares what these phones colors are. no one carries them naked

I loved my jet black 7. Lots of people me included don’t use cases. I buy them and just can’t stand em.

4 & 12 are the best looking iPhones. Hopefully we can all agree that 6 was hands down the worst looking iPhone.

I think the first iPhone was the least attractive, but with everything it did, and worse looking phones at the time to compare it to, no one cared!

Nah, 5C was the best looking iPhone, followed by the Jet Black 7.

 

[joecomo]

pity - jet black was great. Who cares about fingerprints and practicability ...

... honestly who cares what these phones colors are. no one carries them naked

speak for yourself - I've done naked iphones for the last 4 years and absolutely love it! definitely not going back to using a case any time soon and, as build quality improves, I doubt I'll go back to cases ever really.

and no, I've never smashed an iphone in my life.
