Rumored 'Deep Blue' iPhone 7 Said to Actually Be Very Dark Space Gray

[Wiesenlooser]

What if they simply have both? Recently Apple has pretty much added a new color every generation

Front black, back gold.

Or just full stainless steel, please and thank you.

Maybe hate was a little too strong, I put up with it and enjoyed the phone. I actually only kept the upgrade cycle going purely because my networks plan allowed me to.. Admittedly I had to upgrade to a 20gb data plan to catch up (which I heavily use) but the phone came pretty much guaranteed each year, with no handset fee.

I must say however that my previous upgrade cycle was the iPhone 2G, 3G, & 4 just before the 4S came out.

There was no such thing as an iPhone 2G. Nitpicking I know but that always bothers me

I'm also in for darker space grey. I'd also appreciate a steel-blue (but very dark) or arctic-blue (more whiteish) brushed finish, possibly with a protective layer...

Fifty shades of grey.

Thank You! Scrolled all the way for this comment... ;P

Space Black!!
I like that name.

Yeah, they'll never get rid of a space gray / (verging on) black iPhone. It's a great color (and if they go for a dark gray / black Macbook I am all over that.)

Slow news day, I guess.

Space Black!!
I like that name.

If this rumor is true, they'll just keep the Space Gray name as they're already using it for the much darker color on the aluminum Apple Watch Sport.

Space Black is the name of the black DLC-coated finish on the stainless steel Apple Watch.

A lustrous deep-blue iPhone would be really cool I think, and I'd buy it in a heartbeat. More frequent color changes to instantly identify new models, in addition to the core line-up of slate, silver and gold, could be helpful.

Space Grey
Space Black
Space Where The Headphone Jack Once Was

... the new color will actually be a "much darker" variant of space gray that is "close to black, though not quite black."

Yay. I miss the old Slate color.
Current Space Gray on iPhones is too close to the Silver color.
The Watch Sport's Space Gray is just about right.

 

[teknikal90]

the best space grey is the apple watch space grey IMO
which I think is very similar to the Macbook space grey.

 

[rizzo41999]

But I just want straight black...

Black and slate would be nice, especially if there's a shift to dark mode by iOS 11.

Addition of dark mode, fine. Shift to dark mode, please no.

I love it how many people get all bent out of shape over the color of a phone... the same phone that they will immediately put directly into a case.

If the iPhone 7 has a slate version I am not buying a case for it, I bought one for my space gray phone because of how f*ck!ng ugly it looks.

I hope they introduce this dark grey option, but not replace it with the space grey, just give more options to the users. Especially that there is only one black (glass) iPhone available right now (compared to 3 with white glass)
we deserve a second black option!

Right! Black glass front is more seamless to me when off and makes the screen pop a bit better when used. That is why I've always stayed black. I'd like more and darker options for the back though with a black front.

Tim Cook's dying words. "Rose Gold..."

 

[Zimmy68]

Uhh, they move heaven and earth to create pink and rose and gold colors.
But when it comes to more masculine colors we get another form of black.

How about hunter green or midnight blue that looks like actual blue?

 

[blacktape242]

in other words....a slow news day.

 

[Appleaker]

When 'deep blue' was announced I thought it was clearly slate as it has a blue tint. The fact that others are calling it dark space gray proves my point. However it's possible that it won't be and will just be the dark space gray from the iPod Touch/Apple Watch or maybe even darker with no blue tint.

"I only work in black. And sometimes very very very dark gray."

 

[liu pei chang]

good

Sadly fifty shades of space gray - that is where the innovation is now :-/
