Apple Prototyped a Jet Black iPhone X

They should put out a new phone that looks like the 4. Black front and back with the non annodised aluminum band. Best looking phone they've done by a mile.

The speaker world calls it “piano black” and it looks fantastic. The downside is that on a phone it’s a fingerprint magnet and a scuff/scratch revealer, which doesn’t look so fantastic.
 
Or better yet waiting for the full wrap around always on OLED so you can make your iPhone any color or pattern. :p

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’ve been using my 7 jet black without a case for the past year. Given its age, and the prior case disintegrating, I prefer the slimmer size in my pocket. Still runs like a champ.

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.

UGH - I’d have bought one if they did Jet Black

Still using my Jet Black 7+ and have held off upgrading specifically because they haven’t done the colour again!

see this is where i agree, hikes, and any activities with increased movement or risky environments and i’ll throw on the case for the day.

but the bliss of taking the case back off is always nice:)

It’s good to see people here exchange opinions without lunging at each other‘s throats for a change.
Seriously.
 
Ive had all but 2 iPhones (3GS & 6), and I used the Jet Black iPhone for a year without a case. The “microabrasions”/scratches didn’t bother me one bit, as I didn’t and don’t hold up my iPhones at specific angles in specific lighting conditions to look for them in day-to-day use. The enhancement of in-hand surface feel—only experienced without a case—was more than worth that trade off.

To me, still the best iPhone finish (not overall design) ever.
 
The Jet Black 7 plus was one of my favorite phones and after a year it still looked like new.The process for getting the black color was amazing and I believe their was a video about the process.

I had the choice between an 8 plus and an x and I stupidly bought the 8. big mistake

the x still looks classy and I love Face ID , can’t say the same for my 8...

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

There never was a 2G iPhone. There was the original, which I think looked great, but that's just my opinion. The original iPhone didn't even use 2G, it used edge which was 2.5G technically.
