Does anyone here else hope that Apple would make a black/gold iPhone color variant for the iPhone 7? That would look pretty cool.

I would like it if they gave all the case colour options the choice of black or white front face. It's not like it would be hard, nothing needs to be done except literally putting the front face on a silver, gold, rose gold back casing during assembly. One could say "maybe they don't want too many SKU's", but the watch has tons with all the case/band options available.

Black + gold and black + rose gold would look so good.

The Apple Watch does have a black front panel, so you could use those as reference to see how a silver, gold, or rose gold iPhone would look like with a black front panel.

You guys think Apple hasn't tested and considered all these color options? The ones they settled on were based on extensive testing. They don't want to dilute their premium brand by adding gross color combinations like black.

They added white at some point when they didn't have it before, then they added good as an option when they didn't have it for a long time, and just recently pink gold, so clearly they keep on adding things that weren't there before.

Fourth Exploration:

Gold iPhone with black bezel
Apple Watch Space Grey with black bezel
Silver with black bezel

Gold and black everyday for me, the new space grey makes for an almost slate look with a hint of blue, silver and black is pure class.

I did an exploration of black glass iPhones with different metal colors.
