Why I chose the non jet black iPhone 7

[profmjh]

I wanted a new phone because I've found my 6S+ too large.

I went into an Apple reseller today and walked out with a black iPhone 7, 32GB.

32GB sounds small, but I checked my 6S+ and I was only using 20GB. Everything's in iCloud.

So my choice was 32GB black or 128GB jet black. £100 price difference.

Given the concerns about finger prints and scratches, and the fact that it's only the back that looks different, it seemed like a no-brainer.

No regrets so far other than the fact it takes such a long time to set up a new iPhone. "It may take a few minutes to set up your Apple ID." Ha. That's a laugh. A few?

Despite everything being in the iCloud you had already used up 62.5% of its capacity. It tends to sneak up on unexpectedly. You may regret not getting the 128GB model down the road.

Great story. Compelling and rich.

Why are matte Black owners going to extreme measures to rationalize their purchases?

My friend Matt got the matte black one because his name is Matt.

I think sharing helps with the JB regret
