I typically enjoy this particular thread watching what others are leaning towards. But at the moment, I need to see more than a possible sim tray leak to make that decision.
Edit: I can however eliminate gold and rose gold without seeing them.
As a report from KGI states the new iPhone will have indeed the glossy black finish which will be called 'piano black'. Also there are 'dark black', 'silver', 'gold', and 'rose gold'. 'Space grey' will be removed and makes a total of 5 colours. Since it's the weekend before the announcement these colours should be accurate.
I have to see the new piano black but I think I will go with dark black.
If I go 7 and not SE, then either matte black or silver.
Can you imagine what an absolute disaster this place is going to be when humanity for some reason doesn't realize until after purchase that piano black is going to be full of fingerprints and scratches? This place is going to be a zoo with people absolutely dumbfounded with why their glossy black phone is full of fingerprints and scratches.
I have a gold MacBook 12" laptop, a gold iPad, both of which I like, so I will probably buy the gold iPhone 7. I've had a space gray 6, and I'm just tired of the black front.
Rose gold and gold are like a one time sensation. I think in the end, only the 2 classic colors matter: black and white. I'd get glossy black because it's new
I am more inclined towards the piano black. I don't find my 6s+ too slippery with no cover...quite used to it since the 6+. And I have managed to retain the phone in a near-pristine condition at the end of Year 1 in both the cases. But, considering that I sell off the phone every year and upgrade to the next one, I need to think how sclratch-resistant the glossy finish is going to be. So, torn between the glossy and matte black at the moment. I'll wait for the 7th to make up my mind.
I have a rose gold 6S now, so I'm thinking about either keeping that color or going with silver since that seems to be the color that matches with any case well (aside from the black faced phones.)
I regretted not getting the rose gold 6+ instead of gold and tried for 2 weeks to change but it was never in stock. This time I'll pre-order a rose gold 7+. I already have a rose gold Apple Watch and urBeats.
I really like the matte grey back of my iPhone 6 Plus. When I upgrade I'll for sure would choose a black matte iPhone 7 Plus. But that would not be very soon, because my current iPhone still works as aspected! Perhaps wait untill it would not be supported anymore by any new iOS!
