Seems like everyone wants a black fronted phone, why do Apple always never quite give you what you want.
If it was black fronted i would have bought one, at least now i don't have to spend any money.
I hate white fronted phones they look so cheap, especially when the screen is turned off.

From the article: "Apple says the model is in recognition of more than 10 years of partnership between Apple and (RED), which it says gives customers a way to contribute to the Global Fund and "bring the world a step closer to an AIDS-free generation."
[doublepost=1490121060][/doublepost]If I remember correctly, the last red phone had a white bezel as well.
Probably the worst and most ugly mobile phone design available on the market today! May be for a great cause, but in that colour that's ALL it's good for! Yyuuukkkk
I don't necessarily believe this iPhone will be a sales booster, as much as it is more of an additional option at this point. This color really is to apply to a specific individual and of course, the actual cause behind Product Red.
looks same to me, but I thought it was always called "Black", not "matte black".
Apple has $205B in the bank and they need ME to finance HIV research?
Well, as a visual designer I'd like to think that I've got a better sense of aesthetic than your average "random" forum member.
if only it had a black front, à la...
Looks like it could be an early 00's Foobar music player skin. Pass.
Where do you see this?

So then your opinion on whether blue is a prettier color than green must also be more accurate. LOL!

If you were in the US I would say buy it, sell your iP6+ and then when the new phones are released in September, sell the red phone and get one of the new phones. Idk how it works in the UK though.

Agreed. The black would have looked so much better.
If you're past the 14 day return window, unfortunately, they won't swap. You could try your luck, but I seriously doubt they'd let you swap.
Unfortunately, no one bothered to read your comment (emphasis mine).
Half considering getting it on the upgrade programme and just being half a year behind, but I think I'll just end up waiting. If the 8/"Edition" is hideously expensive though, I might have some regrets...
Why stupid white front again!!!??? Can we not get black/red version? Which btw, is a very nice combination?
Why are all the colours except two with white front? I don't get this
Because white looks so much better than black with any color. This is totally my opinion, but a black front only looks good with a black back too. I thought the space grey looked weird with a black front. I personally love the white front iPhones- It looks more like an Apple device to me. That said, I currently have a black 6s because I wanted to change it up this time. I'm guessing a lot of people feel like me, which is why Apple makes more white front phones.
