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

Why we've had to wait 3 generations of iPhones (so far) for black to return is ridiculous.

Learn about anodising from an expert:

Maybe Apple should too since they seem to have been too scared to anodize any colour with a high contrast to aluminum since the Slate iPhone 5.

So instead of blue which is the most popular color in the world, we get another black. Ok.

White is the most popular color in the world!

Probably only a high end option...

I wish they'd do black glass with silver/light grey metal like in the old days

Or better yet, modern internals, white glass but 5C style plastic bodies. Gorgeous!

Bet to get the black you will have to order quick as they will sell out the quickest

Finally....black is the new black.

That's innovation only Apple can do.

I hope it's a speaker

I hope it's not and that Apple will make better use of the freed space (such as e.g. a noise-cancelling circuit).

As much as I'd love to see a DLC plated iPhone, I went to the Japanese site noted in the article to get a better look at that sim tray adapter. Sorry to say guys - it looks like anodized aluminum. Not the glossy black we'd see with DLC.

Heh...there go my dreams of Apple really blowing our minds with DLC plated MacBooks.

Matt black (or space black) would look much better than this glossy black

What does "space black" even mean?? Using "space..." works with grey cos it's a dark shade of grey. If "Space Black" were a lighter shade of black then it would be grey, haha. Space black makes no sense.

Gloss Black, now thats interesting. With the rounded edge of the black glass front display almost seamlessly blending with the equally rounded edge of the gloss black back the phone will look like an all glass wrap around unibody. It will look unlike any other phone including the iphone 6 and the other iphone7 colour-ways.

I don't know if you've ever BEEN to space, but let me tell you - it's very, VERY black! I've never heard anyone say space was GREY! "Space Black" is a FAR more sensible, logical name for a colour of black.

Okay, we get it.

Sorry. I'm finally excited about SOMETHING on the iPhone 7 lol

 

[transpo1]

Surprise! The gloss black iPhone 7 Plus is the new Mac Pro upgrade! That's why they made it glossy black.

An all black iPhone would be awesome.

I own the iPhone 5 too. One of us needs to get our eyes checked because it looks black to me.

glass, yes.
aluminum, no.

Custom anodized color housings have been available in Asia for the longest time, it's dirt cheap for them to create endless fake mockups. I don't understand how these analysts believe everything they see.

They could make a red iPhone 7 mockup and the rumor mill would go *******.

I was true
