Dark Space Gray iPhone 7 Conceptualized in New Renderings

Following rumors suggesting Apple's iPhone 7 will be available in a much darker Space Gray color that's close to, but not quite black, designer Martin Hajek has created renderings exploring what such a device might look like.
Using the iPhone 7 design rumors pointing towards a larger camera, no headphone jack, and relocated antenna bands, Hajek has created an iPhone 7 rendering in a deep shade of gray that's close to the color of the Space Black Apple Watch.
In Hajek's concept, the iPhone 7 is a much darker shade of gray than the Space Gray iPhone 6s, appearing even darker than the black and slate iPhone 5.
Over the years, Apple has used several different shades of Space Gray, Black, and Slate across the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch product lines, with some shades that are much darker than others. Apple's most recent products, the iPhone 6s, the iPad Pro, and the Retina MacBook, feature a light shade of Space Gray, and a darker Space Gray could differentiate the iPhone 7 from earlier devices.
Rumors of a darker Space Gray or Space Black iPhone 7 first surfaced earlier this week, when Japanese site Mac Otakara clarified that a rumor suggesting a deep blue iPhone 7 was in the works was mistaken. The site, which reported the deep blue color in early June, said its source had misidentified a darker space gray for a shade of blue.
Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in September with an iPhone 6s-style design, no headphone jack, an A10 processor, a better camera (larger sensor for the iPhone 7 and dual-lens for the iPhone 7 Plus), and faster LTE and Wi-Fi. Unconfirmed possible features include a flush home button, improved water resistance, and a thinner body.

Amazing!
Geez guys. It's a dark phone. Not really something worth creating a mockup. I can imagine light and dark phones without the help of visual aids.
Also, considering the good phone won't even come out this year this seems pretty moot.

I saw the picture before I read the title and I got super excited and then "conceptualized" came across my eyes and then I was sad.

Some like to fiddle with things like this as their hobby. I don't think any mockup is really needed. People just enjoy making them.
Gorgeous but please let it be gloss black to match the front ..... So it will look like a monolith.
finally... the least important feature for the most margin... thanks john, thats what steve deserves.. I love to buy this... those others will never understand...
Black"
this should have been the design of the iPhone 6 from the start
Been an iPhone owner since 2009 and never ever once used a case. Never cracked my phone either thankfully
This color mixed with a dark mode would look so sleek and sexy IMO. From all the rumors thus far I don't think I'd care for an upgrade, but that might do it for me. I would love to have an all black phone.
I do. I want it to look good, and I'm courageous enough to caseless all the time.
Actually I have bent my iPhone 5. lol pretty damn good too there was a long thread about it, bent right in my pocket
They used to make this exact color, dubbed Slate, when the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini first came out. I believe they shifted away from it due to issues with that color "chipping" easily (the black would chip off and reveal the light silver/metallic underneath). Of course they never officially made this statement to my knowledge, but it was pretty obvious after hearing all the complaints, followed by the new space gray introduced in the 5S/subsequent model products.
Reference for those who forgot about the iPhone 5:

I was thinking about skipping this model, but the black or dark navy would make me get one...
