Does anyone regret buying Jet Black iPhone 7/ 7 plus?

I never have regrets about selling my phone. If I get $50 or $100 less, I don't care. If that little bit of money is critical to me, then I should not be buying a new phone.

Either way people will always have a loss when it comes to selling their own phone to buy a new one. I will be going forward going to sim free and buying my phones. I will lose about maybe 350-400 pounds each year but if it's lasted me well for a year then it's done it's job.
 
Are you kidding me? No, absolutely not.

Jet Black is an amazing color. Does it scratch easily? Yes. Is it a pain to baby it all the time? Sure. But it's worth it to me.
 
I swapped my MB for a JB and have absolutely no regrets. Love the sheen and love how it holds in the hand, the MB was a nice finish too but very slippery to hold.

Ordered JB 7+ and had seconds thoughts at first. But never really went without protective case as construction superintendent. Mostly Otter. But could care less now with monthly payment with annual exchange purchase. I don't think cosmetic condition matters on annual exchange any way. Coming from 'phone as tool', and 'Xs' versions tending to recently be more advanced updates is why I went that purchase route. I figure a tad over a dollar a day to have a cellular phone/computer/camera/voice assistant/Dick Tracey gadget is cheap. Tools should never cost, they only pay.

I love my JB 7 plus she's so shiny and gorgeous. I also love the grip on the JB finish Vs the other finishes I was always dropping my phone out my hand haven't dropped this one and I'm not using a case

i have a jet black with a full screen protector wrapped on the front and back. I love the phone and don't use a case either.. that's what I recommend people doing having this scratch prone of a phone

Have a link to the protector? Also, does the gloss of the finish get lost in that protector?
 
After 2 days of my JB 7 Plus, I really like it. My 7 was Matte black and now looks so dull!

I've had my JB+ for almost a month now, no regrets. I was on the fence before preorder time came due to the microabrasions being easier to detect but it's all preference. If you're the type of person that's gonna be paying attention to that day and night, then don't go for it.

I thought I would be but the phone is so nice that I don't really care anymore, and if there are any they can usually only been seen at certain angles unless they are deep scratches, which can happen to any phone.

Amazing phone and my pops has the MB as well as my wife, they are neat too! There's just something about the JB that sets it apart for me though..

I love my JB 7+. It feels great in the hand (best grip of all colors, too). It looks great in my opinion, and the fingerprint issue isn't that big of a deal. They can be wiped off very easily. I take pretty good care of my devices, but I don't really care about a few scratches. I am on the IUP, so I will only be keeping this phone until the next iPhone anyways.

I did it at a kiosk in the mall near my house but will look for a name on the receipt , just not at my house right now. I haven't noticed anything of that sort happening though.
 
JB iPhone 7 is the most beautiful device Apple ever made, bar none. The look, texture, feel, ergonomics, everything is just perfect.

People with the MB may as well have stayed with the 6S, as the colour is actually dark gray and the texture is the same old crappy slippery one of gen 6. No thanks Jeff.

No regrets, it a beautiful sexy product.....but can't go commando because its slippery as a bar of soap. Had to put on a case which hid the awesome jet black finish which I waited 45 days for Apple to deliver. WTF
 
No regrets here. I love the device. I haven't had any issues with scratching or slip issues like other. It's been naked for the week I've had it. Looks much sleeker than the other models for sure. The feel of it is much better than the other models IMHO. While I would love to go without a case, it's just not practical. I bought a transparent SupCase that should be here Saturday.

I've had mine almost two weeks now, and absolutely love it. I think it looks incredible. I don't notice any scratches, but I also put a clear case on it. BTW, the case looks great on it, too. Still shows off the Jet Black color but gives my OCD a little break.

This is the most minimal clear case I could find.

This is real nice. Does it stick to the jet black finish on the back side over time?

It does, but barely. I've seen other posts/pics about some of the softer clear cases out there (like Spigen) that seem to be really bad. Right now on the back of my 7 there are three spots of that "sticking"; two are tiny (~1/8" circles) and the other is barely larger (~1/8"x1/2").

With this case being much harder and less flexible, the "sticking" is barely noticeable. Plus my phone almost always sits face-up, so I never see it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sounds like invisishield. I see those kiosks at the mall a lot.

Do you actually have the jet black? Was your box black or white?

The jet black is FAR from slippery.
