Question: For those who are hesitation between the black and silver. Would you still buy the black if Silver had a black front?
I'd get Copper if it had a black front otherwise it'll have to be black again.
I have a jet black 7 right now
I have a jet black 7 right now
My thoughts exactly. If only black has black front then boom, no decision. If all three have the same front I think it goes Silver->Black->Blush Gold for me personally.
Edit: Phrasing
I was really hoping to get a gold phone if the bezel was black. That blush gold is hideous. I guess I'll get black.
SUPER-disappointed that there's no red option this time around and I'm not wild about the blush gold. Silver always looks awesome, so I'm about 95% sure that that's how I'm going this time after having rose gold on my last 2 phones.

Black, it blends in the most with the color of a screen that is off! Adds a quality feel for it. Black is reserved for luxury products, like a Mercedes Benz, Lamborghini... with the iPhone 8 being as expensive as it will probably be, it's gotta be black.
It's very possible they could re-introduce a red iPhone later on after the initial launch, typically six months or later to keep the iPhone colors refreshed.
Which is just long enough to ensure that I won't wait for it.
In a perfect world I'd be patient enough, but I know myself, and I love the excitement of this time of year too damned much to miss out. it's like Christmas!
That's exactly my thought. I always buy new Color every year. New Copper Gold exictes me and i am definitely buying it

While I'm not overly concerned about the color at this point, all those same thoughts have gone through my head. I do think that the black iPhone 8 will look similar to the Jet black in person. It does look dull directly compared to the other two here, but I believe it will be a slightly less glossy (but still glossy) look, but primarily the same type of color as jet black.
My guess is the people who always get silver will continue to do so, and it actually looks better than ever on this new phone. They don't need to come to this thread to say so though.
Practically every car at every level has some sort of black color option. It's one of, it not the most common car color option.
Keep in mind, while that picture looks cool, it makes the blush gold look dark than it probably will be. If you look at the sides of the Blush gold in the first picture, you can see it's more of a gaudy gold color, than a more subtle gold as shown in that picture.
For this reason, and the white face, I'll likely be sticking with my black preference. Otherwise, the blush gold is a little more masculine to me, compared to rose gold.
