Concept Imagines What a 'Deep Blue' or 'Dark Blue' iPhone 7 Could Look Like

Two speakers immediately adjacent to each other may well play the left and right tracks of a stereo track but you will not hear true stereo sound because as far as our ears are concerned the sound is coming from essential the same place.
Unless you're going to listen by holding the lightning port against your nose so the speakers are almost to the left and right of your face
I've seen A LOT of different anodized colors done on BOTH aluminum and Titanium but I've NEVER seen a dark blue like in the concept pictures shown here. Also personally I don't its too nice either. I would prefer they went to a straight black instead of the space grey option that is currently offered as a black anodized on the current aluminum the way that it is now would look very much like a matt black finish.
While I agree with your main point, IMO this is changing. As case manufactures develop Clear Cases that are higher quality, more smudge resistant etc.... the iPhone case color will, and is becoming higher on the choice list. Personally I will always use a Black case with a device with a Black Front. My opinion is based on my observations as I interact with society. Especially at work. The vast majority of colleagues with Rose Gold phones have Clear Cases. I'm talking 98%.
Now, one could perceive a phone such as shown above in that light. Especially for the user you wants an alternative to Rose Gold. This Blue could easily be the "Other Rose Gold." It does look killer in Dark Mode IMO.
Time will tell. Could all just be rumors.
How about black? It's been a while since there's been a true black iPhone. Or white, for that matter, though I know aluminum can't be made white.
I miss the days when Apple products came in either white or black, my two favorite colors. The iPhone 5C looked good with a white back, but the front was black which I think ruined it. It's time they did something truly all white or all black.

That's on Apple and the type of anodizing. Military firearms are hard coat anodized type III class II and that black holds up VERY well.
WHY would they replace space gray? It doesn't seem like an "Apple" thing to do. They added a 2nd gold (aka pink) but didn't replace yellow gold. They could add blue and leave the gray. I am all for another option with a black front. iPods come in lots of colors, why not phones? Gray/blue/silver/gold/pink. Nice options. Especially when a lot of people upgrade annually now, you can get a different color next time to switch it up.
No, not all. With an case it won't fit in my car holder and/or in a dock. I manage to do 2-3 years with a phone without scratches. Never understood why people carry phones around in their pockets.
On topic: dark blue looks nice, bit boring, but I will take it if it replaces space grey.
In addition to space gray / black, sure. Instead of, naaaah.
Me, I want a red metal one like iPod Nano and the Mac Pro. Apple starts making red metal stuff beyond the Project Red releases, I'd be all over that.
I picked up a rose gold 6s as the space gray and silver models I bought had issues.
I like having the option of a space gray / black because it is easier on the eyes (for reading from the screen etc.) and a neutral dark color. Besides, I cannot see Apple getting rid of their 'little black dress' if they want to continue to pretend they are a fashion accessory company rather than tech.

funny how nobody whines about the camera humps on all the other smartphones -- hope, just a "design flaw" when its apple & iphone. what nonsense.
i like my thin phone. i like my quality camera. i use a case so dont care. im glad my case is thinner than it would be if the camera were thicker. but i once took it out and set it on a table to try it flat, which ive never done in 7 years. it barely moved -- since i could swipe from the entire left-edge to move backward.
all of it makes it a big, giant, non-sense...only an issue to haters.

Perhaps that's why they keep making space gray lighter every year.
There will finally be another good option for most guys besides space gray and silver.

WHAT ... you mean Apple doesn't use military-grade anodizing ... that's it, the blooms off.
