When colour is being touted as a selling point, you know Apple is in trouble. Good luck to them -- they'll need it.

New Mockup Shows What the Rumored 'Space Black' iPhone 7 Plus Might Look Like

Maybe the iPhone 7 will be a let down (or maybe it will be wonderful), but switching because of a mockup made by somebody who doesn't work for Apple is pretty darn silly.
Given the proliferation of rumors, I think it's a safe bet that the iPhone 7 will have no headphone jack, a protruding camera, and the same tired design. That alone is reason enough to look elsewhere. If you need another reason -- rich notifications
We're not haters.
Just tired of Apple recycling a design that's old.
Especially when they are capable of so much more...
Wow! That's impressive!!! LMAO
NOT. Doesn't take much for the iSheep to get all up in a tizzt. Seriously, I hope they let you guys get OLED and ip67 rating. Don't hold your breath though...
IJS - this is boring

Who cares about another garbage 'toy' phone?
A new set of iPhone 7 images have emerged online, this time showing a mockup of the larger-screened, 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus in Space Black (via TechTastic). Earlier in the year, a sketchy rumor hinted that Apple might be introducing a "Deep Blue" color option in the 2016 iPhone lineup, but more recent reports have clarified that "Deep Blue" will ultimately be a darker version of the current Space Gray, now depicted in today's pictures.
Although the Space Black images fall largely in line with recent mockups and image leaks for the iPhone 7, there are a few inconsistencies. The dual-lens camera bump on the iPhone appears slightly less raised than previous depictions of the back of the iPhone 7, and the mockup designates the model as an "S" edition, which has been lacking from any previous reports and remains an unlikely moniker given the name schemes of the current generation iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.
The pictures also include a Smart Connector on the back of the iPhone 7 Plus, which, at best, has been an inconsistent rumor leading up to the launch of the new iPhone next month. More recently, mockups and image leaks have leaned more towards Apple's decision to not include the Smart Connector in the iPhone 7. The feature could also be specific to the 5.5-inch iPhone Plus, or a third "Pro" model.
Elsewhere, the Space Black variant keeps up with rumors of what the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will look like: no 3.5 mm headphone jack, two speakers (one likely to be cosmetic), and rearranged antenna bands on the back. Apple might be preparing an all-new, flush Home Button on the next-generation iPhone devices as well. But, like most image leaks, it's hard to be certain in the new pictures whether the Home Button is a new, pressure-sensitive option or just the traditional physical switch.
The new pictures follow a collection of high-resolution photos of a Gold mockup of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus that were posted last week. Apple is expected to reveal the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus on September 7, with pre-orders beginning on September 9 and a potential launch one week later on September 16.

It magically makes your wallet lighter... but your pocket heavier (because the adapter must be carried along). Magical.
This could be a guaranteed hit. A phone. That's black. And mid 2017 they'll release the S version of it. A S hit release once more - until 2018. When the 'proper' new iPhone is out. Nice.
Something for you to think about:
I went from the 5s to the 6s Plus for the nicer camera thinking the low lighting photos would be better, and the larger size thinking I would enjoy it.
As for the photos, I can't tell a difference between the 5s and the 6s Plus in low light.
As for the size, I love it, but only when sitting down and I can have 2 hands on it. But one handed, it is too big, and I have found that I use my iPhone one handed a lot.
Also, the rounded sides causes the phone to slip out of my grip all the time.
I was thinking of downsizing my iPhone to the SE, but it is only 64GB. So, I might wait until the 8.
You are probably not the only one, but I did not like the 6/6s antenna designs. I remember the first time see the iPhone 6, I thought it was an Android phone.
Thanks, I understand it isn't painting. White or something very similar is a possibility though.

I can't wait for this Key Note. So many possibilies of what to see and not see for that matter. My guess aside from the iPhone 7, we will see an announcement for the Watch 2, MacBook Pro might be in October.
And yet this a rumor. Secondly, Apple has been adding additional colors to their product line for years now, from the iPad, iPod, iPhone & 5C line up.
Some like a variety of colors, not one color fits all.
But it is using dye, the only reason white doesn't exist, is because they havn't been able to make a white dye, which has molecules small enough to fit into the holes created.
they need to just make it straight up black and be done with it. I don't think anyone really loves these shades of grey
Why is this rumour getting any traction to begin with? Think about it...
