Would you have chosen Space Black?

I voted yes but would rather have other colors like red or blue. More along the line of some of the iPod colors.
I don't think you can blame Apple for playing it safe with the iPhone after the fuss that was made with the Slate iPhone 5. I can afford to make something like the watch darker because it won't have anywhere near as much abuse. A phone is handled, put down, chucked, you name it and will attract chips etc. Most are out in cases I know but still.
This is perfection. Really hope they make black someday. I went from always having black and grey to white for the first time this time around because the space grey looks so damn light.
While I loved my slate iPhone 5, I did hate the scuffs it came with straight out of the box.
Also, watches don't exactly dodge the "wear and tear" bullet.
What I wish Apple did was use the same new space grey from the 6th gen iPod. Bought mine shortly after release and after a couple months of naked carry, it still looks amazing.
I have the space black watch, I would definitely consider paying a premium for a DLC phone. I'm sure it will never happen but I can dream.
I read somewhere that the darker shade is harder to produce, hence more costs to Apple.
This year I was going to go with the Space Gray just to have the black bezel and then get a black case for the back. However, I forgot all of that when I was ordering. I guess I was more focused on getting a 128GB 6s+ instead of the color and got the Silver again, just like my 6+. I do like the color, but this will be the 3rd white phone in a row. I wish they would have more colors. I would LOVE a red phone. A blue would be nice, too.
I pick whatever has a black bezel. It goes in a case, so whatever the back looks like doesn't matter, but the touchID ring may make a difference (wishing for black bezel on a gold phone).
I didn't day watches dodge 'wear and tear' but they don't encounter anywhere near as much as a phone.
I suppose I don't have any particular strong feelings on this to be honest. It's just a shade of grey to me.
That's gorgeous. So assuming you have been using the phone with Neucase at least for couple of months, do you notice any scuffs as was the case with iPhone 5? Just can't get around my head that the scuffing issue is that difficult to be fixed.
Wow that's perfect! That's the phone I want! Apple, quit with the space gray and do that.
Most definitely! Space Black would be so sexy, professional, and business-like.
Until then I am satisfied with my Gold Plus or getting a Silver model. Don't have a problem with white bezels…think it looks more Apple in my personal opinion. SG was probably the dullest looking iPhone color option in my opinion. YMMV.
I just couldn't pass on a Space Black given the opportunity.

Another question: let's say Apple charged a premium for the Space Black? Maybe instead of the devices starting out at $649 full retail they started out at $699. Apple claimed the up charge was for special technology and materials that made it so the device wouldn't get scuffed or scratched as easily as the Slate 5. Would you pay?
