been dying for an all black phone since the slate iphone 5,

it delivered. photos dont do it justice, its perfect! when i saw it on the table while waiting to pick up my preorder, i was so pumped THAT was the model I chose,

Jet black seems like an OCD or anal retentiveness person's worst nightmare, but seems cool, and my opinion is sorta beside the point of this thread- more importantly glad to have not one but two options for the black phone.

sucked that the only black front option was space grey, i think its just bleak on the phone. would even prefer silver+black to that not even half step

on iPad its ok

Yeah the matte black is definitely sleek af. I've been white/gold for years, but I'm loving the change.
 
I dont mine space gray being kept around but I think it would have been more of a constraint than they are already having.

Personally I think my matte black is awesome, I thought from the pictures it was going to just be a darker gray but nope its definitely black, so glad I got it.

The jet black is terrific looking as well, it's a good year to buy a black iphone. Next year if apple does glass again I'll be all of the black iphone too.
 
Matte black goes harder than slate
