iPhone 7 May Have Fifth 'Gloss Black' Color Resembling 2013 Mac Pro

[HarryWild]

Am I the only one who would prefer going back to only 2 colors choices? iPhone 5 was my favorite..

Why limit the colors? More colors mean more choices means more interest means more buyers! Make sure you do not go into marketing and product promotion. If you were in charge of that area, the company you work for would be finished!

I thought that the other "speaker" was going to be cosmetic only?

I have heard both rumors. I guess we'll have to watch the keynote.

I hope it's a speaker

Love the idea of black, not sold on the glossy though. As another commenter pointed out, mine usually stays in the case, so having two options with the black bezel is good in my book.

 

[rGiskard]

Matt Black would be more hip. Anyone see the Matt Black Teslas? Holy schnikes those are beautiful cars!

But hey, as long as they've got the Rose Gold bling option it's all good!

New colors always get people excited for the new shinny iPhone.

Wouldn't it be a polished chrome pole that gets people excited for a new shinny iPhone?

 

[ConfusedChris]

Looks dark blue to me. :s

 

[JosephAW]

I want transparent so I can see the chips separate from the logic board.

 

[teefar]

Just give us Gold with black screen, thats all I ask. Sheesh

That's cool, but I'm still more excited for a "Space Black" color. Martin Hajek's renderings look gorgeous:

This is great. They best be bringing that color to the MacBooks!

I still get weak at the knees over ShadovvMoon's MBP rendering:

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. I must have this!

I wonder if this rumored glossy black version of the iPhone will be like the Apple Watch—a hardened carbon coating that costs more? Make it stainless steel and I will love them forever, even if it does weigh more. I really liked the look of my 3G/3gs and wouldn't mind a slim, metal version of that which doesn't scratch due to the diamond-like carbon coating.

 

[Schwyz]

Yes, you're the only one. Whats wrong with more colour choices?

Simplicity.

I suppose I'm also one of the few people who wouldn't mind living in a house without furniture, such as Steve's.

 

[Tech198]

Apple likes picking colors don't they.. Every year they surprise us with a new color or replacement added...

I wish they did the same ting with their boring "white" packaging.... Time to get some black in.. like Samsung does.

 

[Lepton]

I always got black, now gray. I don't like how most other colors go with the white front. On the other hand, I always use a lightweight case (black) for scratch protection, so the color of the phone doesn't matter that much.

 

[44267547]

I'm thinking it will be more of a slate black. In any case, there is no doubt we will see a black iPhone. One week from today!

 

[Kaspersky]

No... I was making fun of the redundancy, since most of us put our precious phones in cases.

I'm probably going to get a white iPhone this year anyway.

yeah, to protect the metal, not cause it's ugly

 

[havenyoung]

Oh no thank you, I don't want to see the signature iPod back scratches again.

 

[mthomas184]

If true, that's a nice color option. I never cared for the space grey but it has been the only iPhone with a black bezel for years now.

I wish they did a black and gold one. Would look SO much better than white and gold

 

[mi7chy]

How about a premium finish instead of cheap spray on finish?

 

[mthomas184]

Who really cares that much. We cover at least half of it with a case anyways.

1st world problems.

Mine is covered in a clear case. MIND BLOWN!

 

[The Samurai]

MacPro like iPhone colour... "can't innovate my a$$"

 

[Christian 5G]

Sign me up for matte black!

 

[mthomas184]

Because that's the answer. Apple use materials that are unsuitable so I have to pay to buy a protective cover (which will also scratch).

No thanks.

You must not have held a Samsung then

 

[ksnell]

Does this count as Mac Pro news for the readers?

 

[pkginstall]

Make it black, and built to take a whack, not made of weakling grade materials...

Black is a STRONG colour, so live up to that:

Chances are it's the microphone, just with the grill designed to look like the speaker. Same thing essentially with the 5 and 5s. Don't forget that they still need to put the mic somewhere.

Your assumption that Apple ever has or ever WOULD use a "spray on finish" shows you're a newcomer to the Apple world. They don't. EVER.
