Jet Black owners - Do you regret getting Jet Black?

[Damstr]

I've had mine since November or so, and it's still flawless (used in an Apple OEM leather case).

My friend's matte black is not so fortunate. Same case.

Sounds like he's taking it out of the case. My matte black 7 Plus has been in a case since launch up until a month ago (case broke) and the back still looked brand new.

Too many smudges, I couldn't do it. Matte black 7 Plus is the best looking iPhone they have put out in my opinion.

I have always had white but would love a black phone this time and will take apple care and go case-less. I will only go white again if Apple bought out an all ceramic white phone.

I regret that Apple didn't sell a Jet Black Macbook Pro.

I regret that Apple didn't sell a Jet Black Macbook Pro.

That would have looked beautiful.

I regret purchasing mine. Even in (most) cases it still scratches the finishing (2 units). It no doubt looks beautiful when its pristine, but I’m the type that notices fine scratches. Would definitely buy the matte black if i had to do it all over again.

The back of mine is covered in tiny scratches and scuffs. It doesn't look amazing if you get down close and examine it. But in the hand it just feels so much better then the slippery boring 'normal' colors! Not a single regret!

I would have preferred matte black, but I like my space grey a lot

Not gunna lie, mine is LITTERED with scratches and dings but I don’t use a case and use it like a tool rather than jewelry (i.e. no case, been dropped a few times etc). Don’t really regret it

initially i thought id go crazy over the micro abrasions, but apparently im ok with it. no deep scratches on mine, just chuck full of micro abrasions. doesnt bother me. jet black looks sickkk. if there were a jb macbook id be all over it

 

[Curly Lu]

No regrets here. However, I did notice that I'm more diligent about keeping it in the case.

I got lot of cases for all my phones... used them for a day or two and realized that they take awy the beauty of it... so OP... I have Jet Black 7 plus.. and I don’t regret at all.. sure there are some smduges but you can always wipe them out on your clothes in a sec and you have bright shiny iPhone... being said that I always get the new color they introduce.... looking forward to Copper

 

[Technarchy]

Regrets? No. Though I have realized I prefer white/silver overall. It appeals to me more visually.

 

[Crazy Badger]

No regrets at all, even though mine has lived without a case and has lots of scratches on the back and a few on the front.

It still looks fantastic and works brilliantly!

True. I have a 7 Plus JB and a 8 Plus SG. Still prefer the feel of the JB, and I think it looks better and more uniform and monolithic.

JB is no doubt a classic.

Mine had a ton of scratches and after a while the color was just blah. Definitely will always stick with the brighter colors in the future.

 

[RUQRU]

Nope. Traded it for a new iPhone 8+ ;-)

Yah. I switched to black after 2 gold iPhones in a row, and I can't stand it. Much prefer the white front.
