I bought the rose gold 6s plus. But this time around I bought the silver. The rose gold wasn't/isn't too feminine IMO, I'm just wanting something different. Prior to the rose gold, I had the regular gold in the 6 model. I like to change it up...

I always like the darker color iPhones. For some reason, pulling a brightly colored phone from my pocket doesn't seem appealing to me, personally. However I went with the space gray 6, and it was one of the dullest colors I've seen on a phone. Nothing "space" about it- just a plain gray
Before I saw the new blacks, I was prepared to give silver or gold a try. Better to have a bright color than a dull one. But of course then they revealed the matte black and I was so excited to get a true dark color for iPhone again!

remember when we had to wait 6 months to get a white 4S -- because it took that long to "find the right kind of paint" or somesuch?
I switch between a white bezel and a black bezel every year. Right now I have a 6s plus space gray and I will get my 7 plus silver on Friday. The black screen phones look a little cooler when it's off, but the white makes bright apps look better when the screen is on. (My opinion)
More black surface area = shows more finger prints. Which is why I chose white and have had white the last 3 iPhones.
I have the silver/white iphone 6 plus right now and I grown to hate the 2 toned look. I was going to get a rose gold as I think it's pretty but what's the use of getting it if I'm looking at the front of my phone the majority of the time and all I'll see is a white iphone. Boring, so I decided jet black for me.

Actually someone who's into iPhones would know you have the latest if you have a clear case or no case at all because the newest iPhones don't have those ugly antenna lines on the back anymore!
I'm passing on upgrading at this time- I currently have IPhone 6S in Rose Gold- but thinking possibly silver next time- I always keep phone in case- but enough of the pink color shows through-certain cases don't look right - I think the silver may be the easiest one to match up any style case I would choose.
I have purchased gold iPhones exclusively since they were launched with the iPhone 5. I absolutely love the gold and white combo.
If I wanted a black phone (front or back), I'd buy a Samsuck.

I'm choosing my iPhones just by the color of the front, that MUST be black for me.

This will be my first gold iPhone and I am very excited. I was starring at the gold in the store on the 6 and it's just beautiful.
Nope. Ugly! Just like the iPhone 6/6s since everyone only judges and differentiate the rear of iPhones. LOL! Ugly especially the gold and rose gold options catered for the iJustines and Kim Kardashians of the world. Eww! Like watching chick flicks! Whatever! As if! Apple finally went back to black and offered more manly color options.
Black options especially matte black should have been released back in 2014. Or at least make the antenna lines black. Just wait next year for iPhone 8. Apple holds back the color options. Then by 2019 when iPhone 9 looks similar to it, Apple releases the coolest color for people to upgrade to.
I really don't like dual tone phones. It looks ridiculous like the white 3Gs where black on the front and white on the back. Only the iPhone 2G and glacial silver HTC One M7 looked great to me having different colors from the front and back. If I had to choose between silver or gold, easily silver since it looks better with white.
55% with black
45% with jet black
Wait to see both in person and the durability test videos. If jet black isn't as slippery to grip, scratch as badly, or doesn't show silver underneath like the matte black will, then the Darth Vader iPhone 7 is the one to go for. Again, I want black onyx Note7 so the fingerprints and scratches doesn't bother me and could imagine plenty of folks who could roll with the jet black if they aren't so OCD.

Ordered a 7+ Silver 256GB, love the look of my 128GB Silver 6S+, so I went with same color, though Jet Black or Black, but 1. ship dates are ridiculous, and 2. Not into the black iPhones that much. I don't care for the Gold that much, I'd be ok with it, I use a case, so it wouldn't have been a big deal, but Silver was the one I was going for.I'm reading a lot of excitement for Jet Black and Matte Black, as expected and understood. Why no love for Silver or Gold?
