Jet Black iPhone 7 cost more than other colors

[Armen]

jet black doesn't come in 32gb, but the rest of the colors do. why would that be?

Black tax. Same happened with the space black Apple Watch. You want black? You pay more.

You want silver you can pay as little as $649, you want Jet Black you must pay at least $749. The entry point is more expensive.

But it's not the same entry point. Simply that the smaller model isn't available in that color. That's different than the same model costing more for a particular color (which is what the thread title/OP implies).

OMG people... get over it IT DOES NOT COST MORE! THERE JUST IS NOT THE OPTION!

comparing APPLES to APPLES (see what I did there!?) ALL 128 GB PHONES COST THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY!

YOU DO NOT PAY ANY PREMIUM FOR A JET BLACK PHONE. THERE ARE JUST LESS OPTIONS!

If you define entry point as "Cheapest available in this color" then it is more expensive, it's just about perspective.

It costs the same capacity wise but not if you look at it like just wanting the cheapest model in that color, then the price is higher. (almost like an up-sell) There is more then one way to look at things you know.

In summary: Jet Black is not more expensive. Its entry point however is more expensive.

Well, at least we clarified that it's not the color that's more expensive. However, aside from the entry point being more expensive it's also a different model than the other entry points, which needs to go hand-in-hand with that statement, otherwise it's an incomplete statement.

I'm buying a 256GB phone... so none of this matters to me... argue away....

True but someone who's just wanting the cheapest in that color might not care about capacity. If we're being fair they are equal in price, but not everyone will look at it that way.

Well, wether someone looks at something in one way or another or doesn't care about something doesn't change what it actually is. There's simply no smaller capacity option for the jet black color, that's basically what it all comes down to.
