What color iPhone 7 should you get?

[MaxSmarties]

I switched between silver and gray for years, on my iDevices, and after two consecutive space gray (6 and 6S) I opted for a change. I don't like Jet Black very much, so the choice was between Gold and Rose Gold (yes, I like it even if I'm a man, with no doubt about sexuality). Apple chose for me: the only 128 Gb available was Gold

JET BLACK! Personaly, if you're not buying an iPhone of jet black, you should wait untile the next iretation of iPhone coming out next year. What's more, only an iPhone of jet black color can show the difference from iPhone 6 and 6s....

The difference I care about mostly are internal.

Got the black. Dropped it a couple times. Lots of scuffs. They make me crazy. Going to a 7 plus now. Lol.

What about a case ?

I can't be the only one who finds that the gold is classy AF

I love my gold 7

In my area, the Rose Gold and Gold are plentiful in all sizes, but the Matte Black and Jet Black can't be found. I had the 5s in Gold with the white front and the white Blackberry Z10....that's enough white for my lifetime. I'm sticking with the Black front from now on. Good luck with your iPhone.

Black is your best bet especially because it wasn't an available color for the 5 and 6 versions. Making it stand out from the rest.
Jet black is nice as well but of course as we all know, is prone to fingerprints. If you're not worried about that then both of those options are really good picks.

I prefer the normal black since the Jet Black is more prone to smudges and scratches. I dont like cases.

I held the jet black the other day for the first time. It feels like it has a better grip than my matte black. It is almost sticky in your hands.

I got the iPhone 7 jet black 128gb

I think jet black looks great, but due to how easy it is to scratch it, black is the next best thing.

Hardest decision ever. Black, or Jetblack.

Yep. On pre sale day I ordered the jet black. Then went into the store to look at it. Went back and forth and wound up canceling the order for the jet black. Instead wound up ordering the matte black. The jet black and matte black are identical on the front and if you put a case on ur phone no one will notice the difference except for you.

Why did I go with the matte black? After looking at all the videos online as well as the display, not sure I wanted to deal with the scratches and such. Had a black car once and the swirl marks bugged me each time I looked at it not to mention the scratches.

I will get the mate black. I can easily deal with minor scratches on my device, i suspect the jetblack body to easily call for all sort of scratches being in a case or not.

I'm not getting the iPhone 7 and am holding onto my 6s until at least next year's iPhone, but I voted for rose gold. I fell in love with that color with the release of the 6s and will probably stick with it. I did really like the matte black iPhone 7 when I saw it at the Apple Store, though, and silver is always awesome as well. But rose gold is just so special to me.

I knows it?s a cliche but I actually also like the color but people say its a girly color. Have you ever seen a man with one?

Cheers

Most often, when I see people out in public with iPhones, they have them covered with cases, so it's hard to see what color they are unless it's got the black faceplate. However, I do have one guy friend who has the iPhone 7 Plus in rose gold. I was surprised because when he told me he got the phone, I figured he went for the matte black. Hope that helps!

One of my students has a rose gold one. He chose it to be different. Leo laporte also bought a rose gold one when he bought a 6s

If I get the 7 Plus....I'm still on the fence (so to speak), it would be a tough choice between the Jet Black and the Matte Black.

I decided to go with the Jet Black 256gb 7 Plus. Luving it so far. Clean and Classy ...OH did I mention KOOL as well.

Rene Ritchie, iMore's Editor in Chief, has a bunch of rose gold stuff.

Thanks for the info. I hate cases but since I've never seen a gold version I'm debating. I have to see it in a store to decide.

Not sure it's my imagination if it is shoot me but does anyone feel that the 7 feels cheaper plasticy in your hand than a more metaly feeling 6s?

They feel about the same to me.

I agree!
Jet Black is classier but Rose Gold is best

Pink is nice for women.
