iPhone 17 How do they call this black?

I was on the Apple website looking at the Iphone 17 colors. This is not a black phone, absolutely not. Its a Grey phone with a small amount of black in the camera section. I wish they would release a phone that actually is black.

Black is reserved for 16Pro. 😇

I assume you are being sarcastic as I looked up the 16 Pro in black on the apple website and its grey also lol.

We are grey. We stand between the darkness and the light.

You can't really judge this from an image like that.

On a 2nd look... Both are black actually. That render photo does not do iPhone 17 justice I thought it was lighter shade, but it appears to be the same. Rails/sides are completely black, back is lighter shade with camera island and Apple logo being pitch black. That's as close to black as you're gonna get without doing like jet black / glossy.
Sides of the phone blend perfectly with bezels as it is to make it immersive, I don't think it needs to be any more black.

I don't know, I will get to see it next weekend in person so we shall see.

It is black, it's just matte and lit up with flashes. Black is subjective especially in photos.

The pic I posted is from the Apple website, I guess I’ll have to see it in person.

I got into an argument with another MR member when the Space Gray iPhone 5s launched. They were INSISTENT that the phone was black, while I was trying to point out that while gray is a shade of black, it's not actually black.

The argument ended when another member pointed out that the Space Gray iPhone 5s was black in the same way that black tires make your car black.

Nice to know this issue isn't dead, LOL!
