iPhone 7/Plus I still think iPhone 7 Jet Black is THE most beautiful iPhone ever made by Apple

I don't know how it is in the US/UK but in France, almost everyone with flagship phone has at least a case or a screen protector and having both is frequent too
I got the same colour as that of missus which is white when getting iPhX. I totally hate that white and silver look but the case help sort out the issue.
The idea of phone colour tripping me. For this upcoming, I will be looking at Navy blue but how can I see that every day without case. There are transparent cases but the sensation of those plasticky case cover are totally out of character.
May be, I still have not find the right brand of phone case.

Then it doesn't matter what color or finish the phone is.
True if people were rational. But in real life, most people are influenced a lot by emotional things when purchasing a product. And Apple plays around it by giving exclusive colors/finishes or news one each year to increase purchases intentions.
Personnaly I'm a rational type of person when it comes to purchase stuff but I know that a lot of people are lot more influenced by design / look / marketing stuff even if it's completly usless in practice because hidden in a case. They buy in some way an experience to be happy at the unboxing rather than just the product.
It is possible that it was the first time I saw it naked too. I liked the look, but had it locked up in an Otterbox case back when I actually used it, and never saw the profile. Weird, huh... ??
That's not true whatsoever. I use a Spigen Liquid Crystal see through case that shows the phone exactly as it's supposed to look.
I wasn't joking.
I've always liked the style and especially that color on the metal body. The antenna lines never bothered me, but I see how it could be an annoyance to some. I have a 6S Plus in silver and love it's sleek looks but always regretted that it wasn't space gray. It's still in use for a music collection. My 8 Plus in space gray, while nice in the direct sunlight, is too dark most of the time and may as well be black.
iPhone 4 all the way. I remember studying the beauty of that thing. The buttons, the edges... one of the first phones not made from plastic.
Release an updated iPhone 4, edge-to-edge display, Touch ID in the power button, jet black, no lightning port... I’d be all over that

I’ve always liked the iPhone 5 slate black or whatever it was called. It has that cold matte steel look with a tone of blue. It would chip and scratch easily but man did it look good
Yes i still have 5s in gold but it has 4.0 inch display & i want little bigger than that. Imagine a dark gray iphone 12 mini with space black stainless steel frames, chamfered to make a uniform mirror-like edges, holding an endless edge to edge display. Wake up ?
The jet black iPhone 7 plus was stunning. Hard to believe it’s aluminum like the other colors. I now have 2 of them. However there’s a reason why that color was discontinued first lol. Those micro scratches. I’d still buy it over the Matt black one though.
It is a nice classy phone and stands out from the rest of the 7s but sadly it marks to easily mine is covered in surface marks all over the back!
im packing it off to a mobile selling this next week cos got the 12 in blue now I just hope it’s not devalued cos of them ??♀️

This was the hardest iPhone for me to give up. I loved the phone for the pure fact that is looked amazing. Same reason I love my Apple Watch Space back series 4. Those have been the most incredible 2 colors Apple has ever made. Wish they would do it again. I don’t care about finger prints, I can wipe those off.
The jet black iPhone 7 was gorgeous. I managed to keep mine nearly pristine by keeping it in a leather case. I only had the slightest scratches on the edges where the case rubbed from removing it and putting it back on. And they were so faint you had to look at it at an angle in the light. That was really a great phone. It is probably my all time favorite iPhone.
I liked the gold and silver on the 7 series, when they started doing the glass backs on the 8 and above series, the silver looked white and the gold looked pink.
