You can always wait until Monday to decide. There will be plenty of experiences with the Jet Black until then and as you said, if it proves to be very easy to scratch, you won't wait long for the matte black. I think in Germany it currently says the wait is 2-3 weeks long.

Setup is part of any new electronic device. Be it Apple, Samsung or other. That's life.
How do you know?

Ahahahahaha! Good one!
Have they really changed since iPhone 4?
edit sorry i tried the redesigned ones in 2012. yup still worthless compared to what I'm used to.
Apple needs this... Apple needs that... rinse, repeat.
If it's actually 8K it would have the be the RED Weapon, that's their only camera that shoots 8K. It does use the Dragon sensor but a RED Dragon shoots 6K.
However I will say, I would be very surprised if that's what he's using. Seems a little unusual to use a cinema camera that costs $20 000 (as an upgrade, that's not a fully new body) for YouTube unboxing videos.
You mean the little link at the top right corner of the setup screens that says "later"
You don't say, really? I know that, but anything more than three questions is a big problem. Choosing the type of haptic feedback on setup is unnecessary. Users can change this in settings. Why on earth do users need to choose their haptic feedback, is there not a default that suits most users?
Guys... This guy's point wasn't that there should be less options. It's that there should be less options in the setup screen. The boingyness of the home button does not need to be a new step in the initial setup process. It is an option that has zero impact on anything, unlike other steps like "Location Services".
I think watching the actual event for the unveiling of the iPhone 7 killed the excitement for me. It reminded me of a mattress commercial, and I cannot get that out of my head 
Touch ID is necessary on set up, but users don't need to choose haptic feedback on set up. Three or more set up options is crazy, it's not simple, it's not pure in good design either. It's just an example of an operating system being needy and unconfident in its presentation to users.

Exactly. There is the necessary stuff, and then there is the unnecessary stuff.
the jaded experience started with an Android fan doing the unboxing and then instead of seeing the phone 1st, Team Tim Cook put paper work? Apple was always about the presentation of the product you should see the phone first, and wrapping the earbuds with cardboard is a bit tacky regardless if anyone uses them. Apple was always about the wow presentation and package of there products. Reminded me of how Sony use to be
As an admin who sets up lots of iPhones for end users, I agree. The setup process really needs to be simplified, either with less choices overall or, as ArsTechnica suggests, a few checkboxes or buttons per screen. Ars also suggests that some things could be dropped from the startup screens at this point, like "Display Zoom."

If Apple didn't offer this at set up then people would complain that something isn't at the setting they want and won't know where to find it buried in settings. I suppose Apple could just not provide choice and just decide for everyone what they think the optimal haptic feedback setting should be but people would complain about that too.
Well Apple are giving you an adaptor which costs them 40 cents, so they have every right to save 20 cents on not having to provide you with a nice case for the earpods!
The earbuds used to come in a plastic case. My guess is Lisa Jackson is now heavily involved in packaging decisions and wherever they can get rid of plastic in their packaging they will.
I disagree.
The removal of the home button may be confusing at first, so the selection of the haptic feedaback to everyone's taste is a very important step that otherwise could remain buried in the settings. Probably, Apple will learn from people choices and remove the splash page in the next iPhone.

As soon as he set the Jet Black onto the box, I was like, "Well, now its scratched."
Which Nobel Prize will you be working towards with those 2 minutes you don’t have to spend setting up your phone?
Absolutely not true at all. Some journalists at the event complained about not liking the new home button but changed their opinion once they had the phone and were able to adjust the settings. I'd rather get that out of the way upfront than have to go digging for it in settings.
Really? You get a super-computer and you can't be bothered to set it up. Not really a path towards deep literacy...
I'm surprised MKBHD getting a pre-released iPhone 7, considering he's not really appreciative about iPhones. He always downplay iPhone features and intentionally joking about users to celebrate for finally getting that feature. He's a die hard Samsung guy and I'm sure he'll deny about exploding Note 7 and claim to be a new feature. SMH!
