So many people saying how the Jet Black is going to look cheap and plastic-y yet they haven't even seen or held it.
Ordered Jet Black. Have faith Apple won't let us down. Who knows, maybe I end up switching to Matte. Just excited to get my new phone. 4 days left.

If you look around, glossy black metal is not that rare. Here is my stapler lol.
Should be similar to black 3Gs no?
I still thought that was a sexy phone, even with the smudges and micro-abrasions.
It's still black and shiny. That's what will catch the eye first.

Matte black for me. I will use a case that will mimic the jet black - problem solved.
Jet black comes with a cool black box, if that makes a difference for anyone.
Exactly what i thought when i read his glorified post on how the Matte black is the holy grail of black phones and so much better than the Matte Black lol
I personally ordered the 128gb iPhone 7 Plus in Jet Black and i need to wait till Oct 4-10 to get it due to the low stock and i'd like to mention i preordered at 3AM on the 9th, i rather have a phone that looks unique and different than any iPhone created to this date, I am putting it in an Apple leather Case as well from day one so if the jet black coating was to get scratched then it will more than likely be on the bottom part next to the lightning port since the Apple leather case doesn't cover that area but then again i could care less if it scratches since the phone is ment to be used at the end of the day,
The Matte black is boring in my opinion and looks just like the last 2 iPhones that were before it (iPhone 6 and 6S), heck i could have gotten the Matte Black delivered either on Launch day or a week after Launch day but id rather wait 2-3 weeks to get the Jet Black.
....And this post is the holy grail of the jet black, lol.
Different than any iphone to date? You know the back looks a lot like the iphone 3g(s) right? Or close to the iphone 4(s) right? The matte black is just as different as the jet black, from the front both look like the iphone 6(s), from the back both kind of look like the 6(s) series as well and different as well.
Man people on both sides are going crazy, fanboys within apple now, lol.
Come on people both phones look great, both are unique.
They both look great but the Matte black will look just like the previous gen iphone 6s and the even older iphone 6, and since you mentioned the 3GS, The 3GS's back was made of plastic where the iPhone 7's whole body is made of aluminum, these two materials are entirely different and comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges. Besides, you mention the 3GS like it was an ugly device or something lol, i thought it was a great looking device overall.
Not once did I act like the 3gs was an ugly device, you said the jet black will look like no other iphone, when in fact it will resemble the iphone 3gs because of the back. Also it doesn't matter if one is aluminum and one is plastic the look is close to the same. I liked the 3gs a lot, one of the best feeling iphones in hand, and I said the jet black looks awesome, you said the matte black looks dull.
The black of the matte black is completely different than the space grey of the 6 series, its like comparing apples to oranges
I just think it's funny, people make excuses why they dont want the jet black iphone, you make fun of them for making fun and then you bash the matte black.
My thing is that both colors look awesome in their own way. Both sides should be happy they have a new color.

Ill agree to disagree but on a positive note both the matte black and jet black will be great, can't go wrong either way. It's just that jet black is the more unique and exclusive of the two.
