I know it's probably because of the scuffing issues. But the black slate was the best black combination IMO! I really hope they bring it back for the iPhone 6! The new black grey is not bad but the black slate is just much slicker.

Too hard to anodize according to Renee. Rather than absorb the cost of defects, better to just pick an easier colour to anodize.

This makes perfect sense on Apples part, especially given the amount of complaints about the Black iPhone 5.

I can see that as a good reason for apple to discontinue it. Based on leaks, ipad mini might be going back to silver casing as well and eliminate black/slate option. Man it's a slick a color combination but I agree it does scratches/scuff easily. I'm just disappointed because I've always wanted an all black or somewhat iphone. Now, this might just be a one time thing with the iphone 5 because of all the resulting issues.

Overall, I do think it is a good upgrade for people coming from a 4/4s. Even for some 5 owners that are willing to upgrade. Imagine what iphone 6 will bring us!

I agree with the OP what's with the white models dominating? I want the gold color option but with black not white.

I think iPhones/iOS is getting more feminine by the day :). I'm still ok with ios7. I just wish there's an option for black or dark gray ui for the black iPhone instead of white.
