Even the current iPhone 6+ is water proof. I've seen dozens of videos proving this and I've had water splash all over my iPhone several times in the last year. It's already water proof. Apple just didn't want to advertise it as such yet...until now.
Got a tip for us?

Thinking I will probably do the exact same.

I guess we'll find out on Friday...
Thanks for finding this! This reminds me of the old iPods with the crazy shinny back. Man, those things had hairline scratches like crazy over time.

Matte/Regular black for me.
Jet Black looks awesome, but the fingerprints/scratches it would attract would drive me up the wall.

Kind of wish we got this nice, deep blue...

Never owned the 5 but always loved the looked of it. Have the 5s but it never won my love over.
Plain/Matte Black, too. I'm not a big fan of shiny/glossy things. Alas, betting the Black and Jet Black versions will be most in demand since they're the "new" colors.
Directly from Apple's website. I guess Matte Black it is.
- The high-gloss finish of the Jet Black iPhone 7 is achieved through a precision nine-step anodization and polishing process. Its surface is equally as hard as other anodized Apple products; however, its high shine may show fine micro-abrasions with use. If you are concerned about this, we suggest you use one of the many cases available to protect your iPhone.
This. I was debating between the two, but that little blurb seals the deal. 256gb matte black it is!
I think it's kind of cool. Kind of techy-buggy. Reminds me of the newer Porsche Carrera headlights...
Sorry man. There was a reason I stayed with my 6s+. I've hated the camera bump since it was introduced with the 6.I think it's kind of cool. Kind of techy-buggy. Reminds me of the newer Porsche Carrera headlights...
This is just exponentially worse to me.
Obviously some people like it and that's great. Just not me.
So is Jet Black color the same as the Mac Pro's?

No, the 6s is not water proof. Even then 7 is not water proof. The iPhone 7 is IP67 certified, meaning it can withstand water for up to 30 minutes and no deeper than 1m. The S7 on the other hand is IP68 water resistant, meaning 1.5m. If Apple was able to get a better certification, they would have. Just because you can put a phone in water, pull it out and have it fine, doesn't mean water did not get inside that will slowly cause problems down the road.
Ok but u can clearly go in the rain or shower with ur phone now and drop it
In the pool one time and nothing happen
I have Space Grey in an Apple Leather Case or clear Spigen AirSkin now but I want try to go naked iPhone this year because I'll finally have a black phone again. I think the shiny Jet Black will show fingerprints and micro scratches, but the matte Black might show greasy finger smudges. Both would look bad on a black phone.
I'll probably pre-order each Black and return one after the display models are in Apple Stores.

Was actually on the edge of the couch for a deep blue color announcement ; was a bit disappointed
Only the shallow part of the pool, it's not certified to go any deeper than 3'.
