Pure speculation on my part, but with the new rose gold colour option in the works, I'd imagine Apple is wanting to contrast and diversify the colour options. With the silver and space grey phones so, so similar, I think the space grey will be darkened to create more of a contrast to the other phones, which would create 4 distinct colour options.

This could all be me talking garbage, but it makes sense to me.

Well what you say certainly makes sense, now we have to wait and see what Apple is going to show us.. If they do something among these lignes I'm certainly sold! [Render via 9to5mac]

That's exactly what I was thinking they'd do. Get the contrast with all the colour variations. I think it makes each one stand out, not like now where the space grey and silver basically merge together.
 
I am definitely getting the new "darker" space gray. Every report (reliable or not) seems to lead to a color reminiscent of the iPod
 
I want a darker grey!

(although depending on the tone of the rumored rose gold.... I may go for that!)
 
No just a render from somebody

Edit: notice the 'glass' on the top and the bottom of the phone

Is that from a legit rumor?

Pretty sure that was a render from last year when a report from out of the blue said the iP6 would feature glass panels where the antenna lines were.

It (obviously) turned out to be false, but seeing it again makes me wish Apple would've gone down that route. I think it looks great.

I remember these too, still think these would have been absolutely perfect. Man those still look awesome.
