Same color-line? Honestly missed the iPhone 5's black so much, IMHO best looking phone ever. Not so much of a fan of my current gold iPhone 6.

and what color are you getting?

Black has been missing since the iPhone 5s.

Space Gray, if that's all they offer, will be what I am getting. Black if they offer that (unlikely).
 
Well since they want to appeal to Chinese people there will probably be:

Gold
Rose Gold
Royal Gold
Lucky Gold
Prosperous Gold
Fortune Gold
777 Gold
888 Gold
7878 Gold

If you don't live in a city with 85% Chinese population (I do) you might not understand why....

PS. I know not every Chinese person will buy a gold phone - but where I live - it is almost exclusively the colour in this city - whether it is iPhone or Samsung.

And maybe Grey for the rest of us.
 
It would seem like they only add colors on the S models. That gets them the biggest bang for their buck -- there's a reason arose gold was the hot new 6s color, whether customers preferred it to the other three or not. if the 7 is just a 6ss, then we'll probably see a 5th color. If it's a complete redesign, then probably not until the 7s.
 
Still want an iPhone with any shade of blue!

That in itself would be enough to make me get over the disappointment of the 7 looking almost exactly like the 6s :D

Since iPhone 7 would looks like similar with iPhone 6 and 6S, we probably will see 5th colour, some other gold colour

Samsungs' golds are disgusting.

Peace.
 
Who cares, they always having only one color version with black bezel... at least they should make it full black...
 
I wish they would start matching the MacBook. A black and gold iPhone would be amazing.

I am getting tired of a white front after 4, 4S, 5 & 6 but I don't like space grey
 
I don't see apple veering away from their current color selection,which is too bad, I'd like to see some bold color choices.

Somewhere on the non-IOS part of the forum someone posted pics of Chinese smart phones that looked a lot like IPhones, but surprisingly better because they offered a true black phone and they had antenna lines colored to blend in with the gold, silver, and black (real black, not gray) aluminum bodies.

I don't know why Apple can't or won't color in those stupid antenna lines. If they did that, they could easily do black bezels with gold or rose gold or silver chassis. I actually prefer the white bezels at the moment, but I wouldn't mind an expanded choice. I am tired of space gray and would love rose gold and black bezels on an SE or a 7.
 
That's the other thing, rose gold "by Apple standards" is more pink.... I could go bronze or copper also. Samsung's gold is okay but the front face of the Samsung gold phones being more of a platinum color is nice.
