Back in November, a report from Japanese site Mac Otakara suggested Apple would add a sixth "Jet White" color option to its iPhone 7 lineup, and while no Jet White iPhone has surfaced as of yet, a video making the rounds tonight hints at what a Jet White iPhone might look like if Apple does indeed release such a device.

The video, shared by Sonny Dickson, appears to depict an iPhone 7 and an iPhone 7 Plus, both with white casings. While the iPhone 7 Plus features an Apple logo, the iPhone 7 model does not, suggesting it is very likely fake.

Similar iPhone 7 and 7 Plus casing replacements can be found on various auction sites like Alibaba, so it seems the iPhones in the video are sporting third-party shells rather than representing actual forthcoming iPhone models.

Should Apple decide to release a glossy white color option to sell alongside the glossy Jet Black iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, both of which have proven to be highly popular with customers, it could potentially look something like the shells of the devices in the video.

Mac Otakara did not indicate when Apple might release its white iPhone 7, and suggested the information, obtained from supply chain sources, could be "unreliable," so it continues to be unclear if and when we will see actual "Jet White" iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models.

It bother anybody else that people call this "jet" white? Should just be called white. Jet doesn't fit into white color naming at all

If there's actually some kind of glossy white iPhone in the works, I very much doubt it'll be called jet white. That's just what Mac Otakara called it as the counterpart to Jet Black.

Sonny Dickson has a pretty good track record. I don't know if I like it though, think I'll stick with my Jet Black.
I seem to remember him showing off a bigger iPhone that was clearly fake. The you could tell it was fake is the top and bottom bezels were not symmetrical. It looked like a Samsung device.
 
Jet White is coming. Whether it will be released with the 7 or not is a different story.
These look more like 3rd party plastic casings, but it could be the lightning.

It probably just bothers sticklers, nitpickers and pedants.
Just ignore it, it's an oxymoron.
Good for marketing, & everybody understands the intended meaning.
"Pinch outward" is similarly oxymoronic, as is "inward expansion".

Even so, it's just another color to add to the line up. Either way, when and if it releases, it will be a sought after color and seems likely this could release possibly around the March 2017 Keynote.
