I really liked that part of the keynote. Apple Watch is almost a living being.
Tiny text on a website doesn't preclude users from returning items or seeking damages. Items should be fit for purpose and durable.
One carrier told they ordered more stock than the last launch, but didn't receive the amount wanted. Some stock was "diverted", properly to the whiney upgrade buyers.
It also gained +2/3rd of a stop in light gathering and has to project a larger image circle to cover the larger sensor which means the distance from the sensor has to increase. I bet we see a two stop net gain over the previous generation in low light...that's huge in the photo world.
The Jet Black seemed like a bad decision the second I saw it. Would never have considered buying one. Apple have a habit of creating products that only look good for the period they're sitting in the box. You bring them out into the real world and suddenly they're showing dust like nothing else, they're grubby or scratched. The glossy finish on the Apple TV comes to mind too.
Well I am one of them (1991) and I think you are currently sponsored by Massengill.
Apple said "micro abrasions".
Wouldn't call this micro anything. From the Verge review where he stated that his year old iPhone 6 looks newer than his 5 day jet black review phone

Exactly. Ridiculous product - especially considering anyone whom gives a damn about the device will have a cover on the phone which covers 60% of the device.
Besides that; anyone forgot about the iPhone 4/4S?! That was pretty Jet Black due to the Front/Back Glass on Black in my book. Most likely better built as well.
New Zealand might be first but an iPhone 7 Plus 256GB costs $345,096 USD there...
Actually an iPhone 7 Plus 256GB is NZ$1,829.00
ouch!!
ouch!!
I wish they would also post contextual shots, that could have been shot with a macro lens and then cropped which will show microscopic details.
BTW, I went with the matte black because it is going to have a leather case on it anyway.
Trust me, there will be morons buying the iPhone 7 to fake an exploding battery. The YouTube views will more than repay for the burned phone.
Why is Apple doing this, are they going nuts? Destroying their culture of fans queueing for apple devices at launch day. They should have at least 300 pieces for overnight queueing fans.
If you read this Apple, reconsider this new device launch style.
What is Apple without queues infront of their stores... just another retailer...
Angela Ahrendts is ******* it all up... She destroyed the Apple Watch 1 launch already.

Yah. Glass is always a better option though, rather than a glossy finish metal or plastic. The iPhone 4/4s used to scratch to hell as well, but it always looked better than the Jet Black is gonna after 2 months. Glass holds up better than a glossy 'coating' cause when it gets scratched, there's a transluceny there that sort of accounts for it and makes it less visible.
