Is this really newsworthy? It's not as if the iPhone 7 was the first ever phone to come in black.

Tim: We're revolutionized the phone industry. This is the biggest thing since the iPod.
Audience : * gasping for air *
Time: We've made a black phone
Samsung, HTC, Motorola et al: WHY DIDN'T WEEEE THINK OF THAT! GEEEENIOUS!


Yea.... So that never happened.
 
People who say Samsung copied Apple with this, this is Samsunga wa.y of getting back at Apple. Apples Jet Black was marketed towards potential Samsung buyers, and I'm sure it was one of the many reasons they produced it.
 
The Samsung branding they put on the front and back of their phones looks really tacky. I hate overt branding in general.

I like my matte black iPhone with its stealth black Apple logo. I was talking up the black colour long before they announced the 7 so I feel like maybe I had a part in its return! :p

The MB 7 is like a non-flakey iPhone 5!

I'm with you on this. I pined for a black iPhone so much that I took apart my original iPhone and painted it black. I think my 4/5 was my next favorite phone.
 
Dang Samdung its such a copy cat...I don't know how they sleep at night...I won't own a thing that stinkin' company makes! I read somewhere that Apple may come out with a Red iPhone next year.....the crappycats are already starting to look for their Red color...
 
you have to give them credit thoughts their version of Jet black does not scratch so easily like Apple's.
better material and design for outer chases for sure.
 
ITT: Apple are the first/only company to release a black phone and everyone else is copying.
 
iPhone 6s can't start a fire, they can't even hold a charge. Still waiting for my battery replacement.
