I like them both

The stealth look to the matte black iPhone 7 is really cool

But there's also something about that space grey colour that makes it look nice with black front panel iphones, just has a classy look

If the 6s used the space grey shade of the macbook/pros that would have looked so nice
 
My preference is space grey, but honestly my phone goes in a case the day I get it and never comes out so color of the phone is not a big thing to me. Now the color of the screen/bezel is a different matter, I definitely like black over white.
 
Space Grey is goofy. It's like they hadn't figured out how to make the back of the iPhone black and now that they did it seems bizarre in retrospect.

Matte Black. That said, if they trickle the Mac version of Space Gray to iDevices, I'd be all over that.
That's one thing that is frustrating about space grey, there is no set colour. It's different on iPhones, it's different on the iPod touch, it's different on the Mac, it's different on the Apple watch and they can tweak it from year to year. It's nice that matte black would be a set colour

Good point. The Mac Space Gray is the only version I like, so yes, a set version across all devices would be cool.

Yes the '50 Shades Of Space Gray Problem' (as I call it) does mean you don't know which one you get. Personally, I don't like the iPhone/iPad space gray.

I tend to prefer the classic silver look on Macbooks, I might like a darker variant if it was black. But it would look great on an iPhone. I would like the Apple watch variant on Macs
 
Happy to see this age-old question resurface yet again. Wouldn't want a month to go by without another debate of this important issue.
Say it with me... I MUST ignore threads that I don't like...
See how easy that is ;)
