To all the jet black customers check this out

[MooMooPrincess]

Lmao all the food comments, that's why I love you guys. But seriously I have beyond greasy hands (I obsessively wash them) and I touched a clean jet black and it was covered in finger prints.

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

Those are pics posted in a reddit thread yesterday from someone who took them in an Apple Store where literally hundreds, if not thousands of people are touching that thing throughout the day. Imagine all the people wandering in there after eating fast food at the food court? I'm not at all a fan of owning the jet black because I think it shows a lot of fingerprints, but those are just an exaggeration.

How incredibly disgusting! In addition to washing your hands frequently, having a good microfiber cloth handy should help in keeping the jet black nice and shiny!

If you...

just shoveled manure with with your bare hands
ran your hands through Donald Trump's greasy toupee
rubbed your hands all over a pepperoni pizza
cleaned your toilet bare handed
licked your hands after pigging out on ribs
cleaned out your kitchen sink trap with bare hands
changed the oil in your car with bare hands
work at a rendering plant
just had sex with Ted Cruz

FOR PETE'S SAKE WASH YOUR HANDS WITH LAVA SOAP BEFORE HANDLING YOUR PHONE!!!

Ahem. Sorry, I can almost smell my new phone in the distance, it's making me a wee bit unglued, lol.

I don't see why people are making a big deal, it's the same glossy black that was on the old iPhone 3G and everyone loved it.

Not me. I hated it. It's one of the reasons why i'm not getting the Jet black iPhone this time.

You forgot one.......after handling Clinton's filthy, germ-packed phone after she deleted everything.

Aww, little trumpanzee got his feelings hurt. My apologies. I wouldn't dream of rattling such a sensitive soul.

 

[piscestg]

You're pretty smart you think, but I come here for iPhone talk. Besides, people like you have such a problem with those who don't think just like you.

 

[cunningbrad]

Probably a Samsung fanboy trying to make iPhone look bad. If you don't like the smudging...get a case for it!

Let's stay on topic, folks.

Okay. ��

I have oily skin, i take two showers daily and wash my face throughout the day when I get time. Also I wash my hands constantly. I've Never left finger prints like that on anything.

If I washed that much my skin would fall off if I didn't replace with a heavy lotion eczema creates the need to constantly moisturize.

 

[Shanicenicolle]

I mean I have to use lotion otherwise...ashy...and I don't like to be ashy. One doesn't have to be a disgusting person for that type of thing to happen. It does look excessive though. It's even over the camera and everything. I'd imagine that person was intentionally trying to get fingerprints and smudges everywhere.

This exactly.

 

[pantlesspenguin]

Who's to say this even came from hand oil/grease? It could've been someone who was walking past the store after just putting lotion on their hands and thinking "Oooh! The iPhone 7 just came out! Gotta go see it for myself!"

 

[Fit24]

Hmmm... So what's the takeaway? At least it's not scratched and can be cleaned.

 

[Sekelani Zwambila]

Lol. How entertaining. I knew this jet black phone would cause controversy. I find it weird because the iPhone 3G had the same issues but people just accepted it but it's a problem with some people.
Personally I always keep my phone clean constantly that's why I have I always have a screen protector and case.
So if I got this model it wouldn't ever touch my pocket naked only at home where I know it's safe from the environment.
We cannot also have the assumption it's from greasy hands.
It's just a finger print magnet high can be wiped away with a cloth.

 

[mbranscum]

Some people just perspire more and are more prone to put prints on anything regardless of how much you wash or what you eat.

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

I find it weird because the iPhone 3G had the same issues but people just accepted it but it's a problem with some people.

Because 8 years ago things were a lot different. The iPhone didn't get all the coverage that it does now. Eight years ago you couldn't even use an iPhone in the U.S. unless you were using AT&T.

 

[reeneebob]

I just want my phone to be able to get fingerprints on it. Come on, Apple. *taps foot impatiently*

Plus you'll get to work in some beautiful swirls as you wipe your phone for that seriously unique look.

 

[Gene Heron]

maybe try not using a hand cream or if you have a greasy face to wipe your hands on your pants before grabbing your phone.
