Off topic. Completely against ‘Brexit’ but they’ll never take our 3 pin plugs away from us!:rolleyes:

Agree Brexit is a night mare, but 3 pin plugs are daft and a waste of material and space, European plugs work like USBc - insert it any way you like :p

As far as I'm aware the original idea for the 3 pin plug was to reduce the amount of copper used to wire homes around the second world war. With a fuse in the plug you don't have to put fuses around the whole property which would use more materials.
 
I do not think the Apple employee who took the images and video is going to be an employee there for much longer. Technically it's classed as leaked information.

Am I the only one that is not impressed with the design? It's not that sleek and it's not that pretty either. It's nowhere near as refined as the iPhone 4. And don't even get me started on the fact that the space gray version is more gray than black.

I mean... the name of the color is Space Gray. Not Space Black, Black, Jet Black, Matte Black, oily hands black, Black as the night sky or any other type of black. :p That being said, I would have preferred just straight black.

I’m sure you aren’t the only one. Many disagree. And who cares what they call the color..?

I just thought that referred to the SS band. You would think that the back would match the front.

Well there’s about a 99.9% chance that was not an Apple employee.

Glad I picked silver

The only thing I'm not really fond of, or rather I need to get used to is the camera.
 
If you have an unboxing video this early, you know someone got it from the storeroom of a store or something of the sort.

Instagram shows it was taken from a Vodaphone store.

I’m hoping it’s more white than silver, like the 8. Hard to tell from the photos with that lighting.
 
You say that, but even on apples website it looks different.

Because
  1. Those are renders
  2. They have been rendering in a different lightning condition
The colour is silver, but it may look like it's white (or some other shade) depending on the lightning, just like how the Space Grey model looks black under certain lightning conditions.
