Same thing happened last year lol. I remember people kept coming on here saying there phone shipped and it would either be the regular 7 or an unpopular color. We gave them hell lol. We started saying unless its a 7+ black or matte Black we do care. Lol.
This year I picked silver for a few reasons.
1. I figured it would probably ship sooner as not as popular.
2.Im on JOD so I can switched later if it dont like it as much.
3. I always put a case so it really doesnt matter.
4. The reason I never went with the silver in the past is because of the white front bezels. Now that the phone is bezeless it doesn't really matter.
