iPhone 7 Case Molds Lack Rumored ‘Dark Space Gray’ Option in New Photo

[PlainviewX]

How dumb could these people be to not take a photo of the bottom which is the biggest 'Want to know' about this phone?

It also is pretty much confirmed this will be more fragmentation by Apple. Different cameras and now it looks like one will have the smart connector (7+) and the other will not (7). I bet there will also be storage differences now as well.

****, i need a shower to brush all this 'dumb' off.

Please explain what's GOOD about this particular design then. It's the flagship sales product for the biggest company in the world, what great design from "legendary" Jony Ive does it feature then? In what way is it better than the latest offerings from Samsung, for example. How does it show what a great designer he is?

I'm serious, rather than just accusing people of being dumb, why not explain your reasoning, if indeed you can.

I find it really funny that the design is leaking all over the place, yet we still don't know if there's an audio jack. I think Cook is having an awesome time laughing with Ivy, during their meetings where they decide what should be leaked and what shouldn't.

You think Ivy is still in the room? He already did the design for the iphone8, six months ago or so and is now continuing the design for the cupboard of his car...
For the iphone8 design, he just drew a line and gave it to the team..."make it look like this"

on a more serious note: I really do think Ivy is not heavily involved in the design iterations as we see today.... I think he kinda approves or remarks the designs and big redesigns, but that's it..

That's it. If Apple can't innovate and make a dark grey iPhone then my next phone is going to be Android. This is a deal breaker for me.

Ew. That camera hump tho.

Yes. The steel ring around the lens on the 6/6s never bothered me much, but the pockmark on the 7 looks just cheap.

iPhone and the color are material. Android is an OS. Two different things. You should say which Android based phone you like versus naming just the software.

I for one am staying with my iPhone 6, it was a good phone that i liked when I got it nearly 2 years ago, good camera, fast enough to do all the things I want, nearly 2 years later it's the same camera, it hasn't got bad overnight.

Apple have/had a good strategy to get people to upgrade, but as phones get as fast as the 6 and cameras take photos as good as the 6, I can see less people wanting to queue up for a really expensive upgrade over the perfectly good phone they already have.

Friend of mine has a Galaxy S7 Edge, now there's an upgrade that would be worth queuing up for.

I'm an iOS man, but damn, that phone is a beauty, he threw it in the pool, taking videos from underwater, amazing screen, cracking looking phone too.

Have fun. Cyaaaaaa.

According to this photo, no headphone jack. If you believe these are real.

Not saying they're fake, but I thought they didn't put those symbols on the bottom anymore?

IDK, but they are certainly some interesting color options unless their lighting is really weird. Reminds me of Easter. It does give it a really clean look, though. I'd prefer gunmetal, dark gray or a deep red iPhone. I've got gunmetal Oakley Deringer prescription frames that I've had for years and love (they match my hair), and wish I could match my iPhone and AW to it. These colors look like they're trying to get more women aboard, but in my experience a lot of women seem to prefer the smaller iPhones like the SE. Hopefully they keep updating the SE and bring it some new colors too. I just hope that we can at least get that dark slate blue or space black version.

No Smart Connector is visible on the rear of the top-most Rose Gold iPhone 7 mold, but the image doesn't provide a bottom edge view to corroborate the most popular rumor surrounding the iPhone 7: its potential lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack.

There's not a headphone jack. You can usually see something of an indentation removed from the chassis to allow for inserting the jack from most angles, and it is not present.

 

[EricTheHalfBee]

Have fun. Cyaaaaaa.

Can't even pick up on obvious sarcasm? I thought it was pretty clear.

No way I'd use the vastly inferior Android operating system.

 

[Someyoungguy]

Oh my god, I can't believe Im saying this but I miss the silver ring around the camera. Not having it makes the bulge look like a wart.

Huh, that's weird. I miss it too, but then I took a good look at my 6 and I don't have one - just a beveled edge on the outside of the protruding lens that creates a highlight. I wonder if I had one that fell off, or if this was exclusive to the 6s??

 

[dampfnudel]

I just wanted a drastic new design without waiting until 2017... is that too much to ask for?

Sometimes you have to wait, that's life.

 

[Leonard1818]

I mean, it's a pretty underwhelming redesign on the surface. But there's not much wrong with the current design, that camera looks MUCH bigger too, so I'd be expecting great things from it.

People seem to get their knickers in a twist about the lack of a wow factor. But when you look around, many other manufacturers offer the same iterative updates and don't get hammered for it.

I honestly think the reason Apple gets such flack is that people feel so compelled to buy the latest iThing. For me, I'm sure this will be a fantastic phone.

Thank you! I'm tired of all the hate. It's as if people don't recognize the pattern since iPhone 4.

I'm glad the colors will stay the same (if they will) as I wanted to do silver/white this time around and the only thing that would sway me would be a really dark black like slate...

I'm excited about the prospect of a bigger screen (for me) and a better camera (for everyone). A better battery on the iPhone 7, as some reports claim, will be nice... but I've heard the batter on the "plus" models is great anyway so I'll be glad to get something like that.

These are fake! This is because Apple removed the FCC logos beginning with the 6s.

Nope. It's pretty difficult to detect when all you're presented with are words.

 

[Eggtastic]

First, I don't see the big deal about the protruding camera. It doesn't bother me and I have the slimmest case possible on here and it helps level the phone out if that is everyones concern.

Second, if there isn't anything major design wise I will be keeping my 6+ until next year when the rumored major change will be.

Third, Anyone notice the apple logo cut out on the back of these? They look as if apple will be including some sort of LED logo.

Fourth, and I always throw this in to piss most of you off... PUT A DAMN LED INDICATOR IN.

It depends where you live. Different countries have different regulations.

Exactly. All the leaks so far have "coincidentally" not shown the bottom Wonder why that is?

I want a desing, that is nothing!

Thats what an apple watch is for

 

[azfalcons]

im not sure what "big change" everyone is looking for. Are you all wanting it to curve like the Galaxy? Im sure we will see very similar specs to the new galaxy except the expandable memory. What is you all are looking for?

I agree, why don't the press just ask these bozo's at every turn, what's up with the audio jack? I will be so pissed off if it's gone, and I have to ride out my Apple contract without taking the mid contract upgrade option, then jump ship.
Arrogant ******s.

 

[mcapanelli]

I'm rather "meh" about this one. I'm sure it'll be a great phone, but I'll hold out till either they come out with a new design or my 6 decides to leave me for the great beyond.
