It's about trying to entice people who may not have otherwise bought an iPhone 7. It's actually a smart move (and a fairly common move by other companies). Once sales of a product start slowing down, they release minor tweaks to the original product in an attempt to give the sales numbers a little bit of a bump.
I always gov black front, except SE.
I like the white/gold combo on the retro beast,
still not regretting it, and easy to find for wherever its laying,
Glad they went with a silver ring for the home button rather than red.

You probably mean that their functionality as premium flash drives might induce some overlap
Send them to the Apple Space Museum.

Tim has never answered my emails, but Steve used to. As for #2, are you sure about that? Perhaps because it's the one offered in the greatest variety of back colors. You can't get gold or rose gold or silver without a white front. There are simply more white colors, therefore it's probably more popular. White looks terrible with the display off because of the ugly black rectangle and the visible camera and proximity sensors. As for #1, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. They make black displays all the time. The original iPhone was black on light silver!
Well....
If you can't innovate, iterate.
In the not so distant future the attention of Apple devotees will be turned and the next big thing will be waiting to see what startup company comes along and picks up the mantle. It pains me to say that but better face the truth sooner rather than later.

Aestheticly speaking I'm not a fan of a red iPhone, but with that said, I hope this model raises a lot of awareness and funding towards research and a cure.

ugh but why still space gray? so frustrating. they did the same thing with the new iPad, which in itself makes no sense that the mini 4 is still more expensive....

2gb of ram and an a9 is MORE than the SE needs. I'd like a color update for it though.
Apple did not upgrade the iPad 9.7" pro in September 2016. They updated it in March 2016. It is a year old, and ready for an upgrade.
You think they're still coming? That would be nice, but it won't be three. Either they do the 10.5" now, and the 9.7" becomes the cheaper model (which happened today). Or they wait to do the 10.5" after the iPhone event if it betrays the design language of the iPhone Edition. I think if they do that, we'll only see a 9.7" and 12.9" Pro update now that look the same with upgraded internals, and they'll just wait until next spring to do the 10.5" model. The thing about the 10.5" model is that it would be weird to design a sleek new 10.5" device as the base Pro and then not redesign the 12.9" model to also have minimal bezels. I suppose they could do it, but there haven't really been many rumors about it. However, shaving down some size and weight on the 12.9" Pro would go a long way towards addressing a key concern about the device for many early adopters. It's just a bit unwieldy for a handheld device.
But don't hold your breath. That means waiting till next year. They will be coming out with the 7s first.

Dude I completely agree. Apple has lost it's vision, and I know that sounds cliche but I believe it's true. They haven't updated their Macs at all for several years, and the touchbar or whatever it's called feels way too much like a gimmick. I agree there are way too many iPhone models. The funny thing is that the products that got least amount of updates (Macs) have the best discerned models. Mac mini as a desktop for consumers who want a small desktop computer, iMac for people who want a more powerful computer and dont want to hassle with a separate screen. Macbook for people on the run a lot. MacBook Pro for people who need a powerful laptop. Mac Pro for the absolute power users.
When I look at the iPhones I see a whole different Apple though. I see a half-baked irregular updated SE, although a good concept I have the feeling it will get neglected by Apple like the 5c. I see their flagship, and they have the flagship+, and they have the flagship from last year with a 100$ cut. I sincerely hope the rumors about the iPhone Edition are not true, because Apple was already screwing people over with their 'entry 16gb'. Making a flagship-flagship model is so against everything Steve stood for lol.
Okay. Looks like iphone 8 is coming out and is there a reason why people would get this other than the cause and special edition? I mean...the tech spec is still same, right? I mean...it's still sufferring hiss gate, right?

solution: click your account on the top right and click "log off."
Well there has to be a first for everything right? I still wait for that time Apple all proves us wrong again. Just like it did all those times with Steve. I hope for an event nobody saw coming or products that are so far ahead of the competition samsung and others will **** their pants. Alas, I think Tim is only focussed about maximising profits instead of delivering a superior product. They only use the phrase "great products" but that phrase gained trust in the time that Steve used it. That has worn off for me by now, I no longer take Apple serious when they claim they will release 'exciting products'
if only it had a black front, à la...
Actually bought that back in the day. I think I may still have it some place…
Wouldn't mind black & more of a burgundy color, either.
They began to change the style of production for the front when they released the jet black phone...
But regardless. Have you seen mock ups of black on red? It's beyond hideous. And on top of that, Apple produces phone color combinations that they expect will sell the best. I trust their research and data than random posters on a random forums site. As does Apple.
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
My exact thought when I saw the white face. The red is cool, the white is not my style - I would very much like an option to have a black face.
I've had a product red case on my phone since the 5. I would buy one of these for sure. Probably still put it in a case though.
Why is the ring around the home button silver? It should be red!!

I know this and I get it but 80% of people don't give a flock about this...People will see just a red Iphone and they will buy it! And that's that.
The other part with "They are using the death of over a million people a year to promote the illusion of activism via cause branding" it's so true but it's so useless to complain about it because no one is gonna do something about it.
And also we know already that Apple is Satan in person xD why are we shocked?
