Apple Unveils Special Edition (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

[oneMadRssn]

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

I don't usually like the black front. It shows smudges and scratches too easily for my liking.

However, the white face on a red back looks way too santa claus. Might as well put a little black belt with a little gold buckle over the home button to complete the picture. Maybe throw on a green christmas tree sticker over the rear apple logo too.

Nah, red back and black front would have looked far better and more neutral.

What extra $100? These start at higher prices because they start at 128GB. Same price as other iPhone 7 sizes and colors.

My apologies, I bought my gf an iPhone last month and got it into my head that 128gb was the base capacity.

It looks like a red cousin to the blue Pixel because of the white front.

If it had a black front it would look more unique, though it would be similar to my red HTC 10, then. But really, how many people would even know a red HtC 10 even exists? Everyone things I have a red case on an iPhone.

I've been waiting for a red iPhone since January 9, 2007—so I'm a bit peeved they went with a white front. They do white fronts on so many colors! I'd never upgrade mid-cycle, but I'd consider it for the next version.

 

[Lesser Evets]

mmm-MM! That be some innovation, there!!

 

[nt5672]

Well at least they did not think it required a Keynote to release minor upgrades. Maybe Apple can learn something, more likely the schedule got messed up and they had to do it this way for some reason, but we'll see.

Next special one is iPhone 8 RAINBOW!

 

[Martius]

Well, I think this means there is no Apple keynote until WWDC.

 

[Mactendo]

White front and red back is pure sex, you don't get it, people. Just hold it in your hands when it comes out. You'll love it.

 

[Dormammu]

Looks OK. I'm not impressed. Seems odd to release this about half way through the cycle of the iphone7. Oh well.

 

[GeneralChang]

As usual with (PRODUCT)RED stuff, this will be a controversial color. But I like it. Kinda makes me wish I'd waited on buying my 7 plus.

 

[macduke]

ColorWare like RED. https://twitter.com/ColorWare/status/844180363958243328View attachment 692973 View attachment 692973

That does look nicer than this—which is pretty sad—but do they not paint any more? Their website seems worse than I remember, so it's hard to navigate to what I'm trying to find. They used to actually paint your iPhone when you sent it in. All I can seem to find are DIY wraps?

 

[Bacillus]

Ehh - did Eddy Cue take over product managment ?

Where there was once just an iPhone, there are now 58 choices you can make today when you want one.

Oh, Apple...

and all the better for it. I don't understand why people keep hating on this, really there is only 3 models > then pick your size and colour, and if you find it confusing, f**k off somewhere else!!

 

[lucasrant]

Matte black is gone, on the website it's just Black now (next to Jet Black). Is it me, or is it more grayish? I think I'm imagining it, but still

 

[LeonardXW]

My expectations to Apple is lowered after every product release.
I used to share Apple latest news to my friends and family, but now I feel shameful to share because there is no great features to share.

 

[Martius]

and avoid any other opportunity to throw banana's and tomatoes on stage

yes, you are right! I actually don't care about the keynote. Let me say it another way – no Mac updates until WWDC.

 

[big-ted]

I count 5 models you can't lump the 7 and 7 Plus as one model with their camera differences

 

[c1phers]

Black front would have sold a ton... I can't fathom why apple only has black fronts for their black backed phones. Silver/gold/red would look fantastic with a black front.

 

[WiseAJ]

My excitement over the red iPhone quickly faded after I saw that it had a white front. yuck.

 

[thadoggfather]

I'm waiting for the jet (Red) iPhone 7s+

 

[jimbo1mcm]

Remember Tim is a master at moving left over inventory.

 

[ugahairydawgs]

Yeah....I don't get the white front either. Red and black is such a great color combination. Granted....I have a bias.

 

[Martius]

Black front / red back would be the only METAL fans approved version of iPhone!

I'm pretty sure it was always called black.

Livin' like a lover with a red iPhone!
