Black vs Jet Black

I have the SS Black Apple Watch. If it's anything like it, it really doesn't show any fine scratches but it does show fingerprints a little. I would still get the jet black I think.
Im so torn. I had the black 4. I got tired of black so i got the white 5. I thought the black 5 was the best looking iphone ever so i got the black 6. I've been very disappointed with space gray so i was planning on going either back to silver or to gold this time. But now darth vader is there telling me to buy jet black. It's just so cool. Its like the iphone i always wanted but the matte black is what space gray should have been. Soooo tough to decide.
[doublepost=1473284163][/doublepost]Its going to be like the old days of constantly trying to keep my ipod touch pristine, but always failing because when i would check to see if it was still shiny, more scratches would form.
[doublepost=1473284220][/doublepost]Another thing is that jet black is already more expensive and i expect resale value will also be more

Was going for Jet Black but after seeing it and how shiny it is - just looks cheap to me. Looks too much like a cheap plastic. The matte black is exactly what a black iPhone should look like IMO. It looks sharp. Dark, sexy and no issues with scratching, doesn't look cheap.
Once seen, not readily forgotten.
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
You were waiting for the 2017 phone anyway.
Yup, I've just ordered the Orzly Fusion Bumper with the 50% off at the moment, seemed like an easy decision as I'll definetly be looking to get one of these Jet Black iPhone's!
Was initially going to do Jet Black, but from what I have seen on videos, and read from a few people in the media and I follow on Twitter, the Jet Black version looks like plastic. It looks cheaper then the Matte version, and does look like plastic.
That would've been hot!Kind of disappointed the AirPods don't have a black option.

I was just thinking that!
I'm definitely going 256GB but still unsure if I'm gonna go Jet Black or Silver to match my iPad Pro. AW2 would follow whatever color phone I go with. I've done Space Gray the last 2 years so it might be time for a change. Also unsure if I will go with the 7 or the 7 Plus. Done the Plus the last 2 years and hate the width and lack of one-handed usability. The OIS on the camera and bigger battery is what drew me in. With less of a gap between the 2 aside from size, smaller might be in my future.
You can see what scratches will look like on Jet Black version. Verge has a picture of one of the demo phones at the event that already has scratches on the back.

The ones under the Apple Logo? Those are for sure scratches, but I think someone either took keys, or maybe fingernails to see how it scratches.
just like a black car... no matter how careful you are... you get those fricken swirl lines!
This will differentiate people that want to "show off" their money through their phones. Yea i paid 100$ more for my phone ... haha
somewhat true, my mom dont want to get 128gb but she'll have to since her current backup is clocked at 45gb and you cant restore that backup into an 32gb.
