I have a black iPhone 5 and, while i understand the complaints, I'm saddened that end users made it such a big deal because I dont want the negative backlash to force Apple away from more all-black devices because I've always wanted a black aluminum Air and iPad.

I dont get why people make such definitive statements so close to the actual product announcements. If youre wrong you look silly and if you're right nobody cares.
