Here you go, ,
he is is strongly suggesting for people to not buy the jet black, i dont know what the deal is with his attitude but yea watch the video and see for yourself, he says that there wont be such a thing as a jet black without scratches, makes me feel kindda meh considering i preordered the jet black
Wait til' they work out the kinks on the production line and improve the anodized coating process. It's not an easy task especially producing millions of phones.
But worth waiting the later shipments if you want a different more lacquer mirror finished phone than everyone else. Will I be able to tell the difference? haha probably not.
the finish won't change over this next year. just look at the iPhone 5 black issues. they stuck.
So I just cancelled my Jet Black order. Still think it's the most beautiful color, but I'm someone who's gonna use an iPhone for at least 4 years, and I am quite sensitive when it comes to scratches.
Another good thing, I will get it earlier now. And maybe one member here gets his/her Jet Black earlier thanks to my cancellation
Jet Black, ordered 4 minutes after pre-orders started, - delivery September 26 to October 4.
Standard Black, ordered just now, - delivery September 22 to September 26.

Never say never they're already dipping Lamborghini's in Shenzhen beyond anodizing and powder coating technologies keeping it hush hush. Apple will be knocking on their door soon.
the thing with a clear skin is that applying a clear screen will already make your phone look glossy. you can apply a clear skin to a normal black iphone and it'd look glossy
i know. i was just stating that you can't compare something rare as a lambo to a mass produced iPhone. Issues usually are cleared up on the following phone a year later.
I read a new thread on this every hour or so. We already know! I ordered anyway!Apple wasn't kidding when they warned us about the jet black iPhone 7's being prone to scratches. I'm positive that you'll eventually find scratches on your jet black baby even if you use a case since dirt and who knows what else will eventually make it's way inside. Beware OCD JB iPhone 7 owners!

Thank you for helping the rest of us get ours more quickly!
I'm not saying that to be snarky - really, thank you!
How is this new or surprising? Apple did move away from a "black" phone back in the iPhone 5 days due to "Scuffgate". No wonder people think that history repeats itself.
It won't prevent much. Dirt always finds a way in.

They also moved away from gloss black plastic after the 3GS. I completely agree with you - people didn't think this through very well.
I'd still like a jet black but since it was going to be in a case I went with matte black. I did notice where apple did say it would scratch. There will probably be lawsuits by... Tuesday after release?
Probably.
I was initially planning on going matte, but have changed my mind. I'm getting the jet black. Will it get scratched? I hope so! I like the look of finely designed and aged objects.
