Sketchy Rumor Says Apple Will Add 'Deep Blue' Color for iPhone 7, Drop 'Space Gray'

[mariusignorello]

They ought to make it purple.

Apple needs to offer something so that people can show off that they have the latest.

They dropped the slate because the anodized color was so dark that even the tiniest of scuff marks / dents would easily jump out to the naked eye. I do agree that it looked amazing on my iPhone 5 and original Mini! However, I did have to get a few replacements due to bright scuffs / dents that I wouldn't as easily spot on the colors available today.

Ok, that makes sense. I don't really have any scratches on my mini but I can see that happen, especially on the phone.
Hopefully, we will get a black model when they switch back to glass for the 2017 iPhone then.

I'm pretty sure there was a white iPhone 3GS. Get your story straight, MR.

Once you go blue, you know you have to call doctor.

No.

Nice!

The Asus Zenbook 3 in "Royal Blue" color was the best blue metal color ive seen. Combined with the gold lines it gives that luxery feeling.

Would love to se Apple adding that color!

Now that's innovation, people.

Blue and Pink Phones.

Funny isn't it, how despite all efforts, such sexual stereotypical colors still exist today.
With those colors only chosen to drive sales for either sex.

Why not nice socially neutral colors on the high end products?
Greens, Yellows, Oranges etc?

All three of which, in the right "tone" can look amazing against Black.
Like high end super cards, with Black and Yellow, orange, green paintwork that really "pops"

Innovation gone completely wild!. New watch bands, new iPhone colors, pretty amazing stuff. Pretty soon they are going to pull out all the stops and go for colors for those $29 charging cables…

I'm voting for Deep Zebra color.

But if they replace rose gold version with a nice red one that'd be awesome.

 

[Wowereit]

Every single iPhone I have ever bought was the dark version.
I don't want trendy colours and especially no white front. You can give people options, fine, but don't remove the classic, neutral finish.

 

[akash.nu]

Don't care. I never buy black iPhone... All my iPhones, iPod and iPads are in either gold or silver. I hate Black phone because it shows finger print easily and o cannot handle this.

I don't like to go with the black one either. I think my last black iPhone was the 3GS.

Essentially that's it to be honest...

I'm hoping it looks like this:

I can't see Apple axing a standard business (and fashion) color. If they introduce dark blue it will be in addition to, not a replacement. They've done garish, so now they will give people that prefer something different but still subdued. Also the face will not be white.

 

[Iconoclysm]

Please, just make more colors with a BLACK front. So much nicer than the white.

The gold would look great with a black front. Or pure red... anything for variety from the old gray.

Because I will not get a sun-glaring white faceplate that makes all the sensor holes look like missing screws....

Black front with Silver would be my go to if it were available.

 

[neilhu]

Who cares about a different color?
Apple cares more about comestics than substance....

 

[pmau]

After "rose gold" comes the "blue balls" version. I get it ... great.

You can never say anything with Apple.

This rumor is probably to see if Samsung and Huawei will release one before Apple has a chance to, then apple says gotcha!

 

[BruceEBonus]

Once again, while competition take their eye off the ball and fit Bluetooth 5 to stuff. Apple know what the public really want. Deep Blue. And by golly they're so crazy and forward thinking they'll jolly well go and do it despite the cynicism. Think different!

True, but it makes zero business sense to axe black/gray. If Apple wants to see sales really plummet then it should do that.

 

[Porco]

I would prefer a deep blue to the gold or pink (ok, 'rose gold'), but I wouldn't buy it.

I don't see them dropping a black+grey/silver model of some description though... that would be incredibly foolish.

 

[akash.nu]

True, but it makes zero business sense to axe black/gray. If Apple wants to see sales really plummet then it should do that.

Don't forget apple was the first to axe dvd drives, Ethernet ports and everyone said it was madness.

Not to mention they've never had a memory card solution on iPhones which was an absolute must back in the days. It never hampered their sales.

 

[Precursor]

But people upgrade their phones because of colour?!

Apple probably thinks they will
