Partly the lighting but I think it's a little darker?

Website photos of Apple cases didn't quite match what I saw in person at the Apple Store, colour-wise. Recommend buying cases in person, this time.

I have a grey leather waiting to put on whichever one I end up opening. I have one matte and one jet black sitting next to me and I'm agonizing over which to keep. First world problems.

You have 14 days to decide, so you're good!

I'll most likely keep the matte. Hubby doesn't want me to spend the extra $100 on the jet black bc it's the 256 model (vs the 128) and I'll never use it. Also, I'll get mad if it ever scratches.

Bought a mat black 128 at the T-Mobile store today. Originally bought the tech21 case for it, but decided I wanted a battery case. Went to the apple store and the line was about 50-75 deep and I walked right up, told the girl I just wanted to buy a case and she let me in and I was out 5 minutes later with a battery case.

First impressions, the phone looks sharp. I thought I would regret getting the small 7 over the plus since I had the 6s Plus previously and my son has a 6 plus but I don't mind it really, seems to work well, I see things okay on it.

I haven't been able to ask yet but there is a pretty long line for those without reservations. I'd say 40 people or so. I'm currently standing in a very long line for those with reservations. They haven't even checked me in yet.
Which store did you do? I usually do Galleria. They tend to have it better organized than that, or at least have in the past. I had it shipped this year since I waited til 11pm to pull the trigger. It got delivered at around 4:15-4:30. My husband was waiting for them all day so he could sign for it, and I got home from work just in time to see them pull off my street. The just left it in my front door...so much for signature required, since I never set up the shipping release.

It took 2 hours for me to get through the line and get my 128gb matte black. I still haven't opened it yet bc I have work I need to do and I know if I open it, all hope will be lost. A jet black should be arriving at my door anytime. I will decide which to keep tonight.

I'll most likely keep the matte. Hubby doesn't want me to spend the extra $100 on the jet black bc it's the 256 model (vs the 128) and I'll never use it. Also, I'll get mad if it ever scratches.
I get the largest they sell--256 this time. Moar Golden Girls! lol but seriously, I'd rather have the buffer. But if you won't use it, and don't want to worry about the finish (esp for resale?) I'd keep the matte.

I got disappointed by the matte black. The finish made it feel cheap ☹️
I feel the exact opposite, this matte black looks really nice, what "space black" should have been. I find the jet black to look like a plastic junk toy. I do wish they'd release something with the black front and a navy back or rose gold back. Something not just black/gray on the back.

I disagree with the above poster. It's sharp.
Agreed.

I go to the WC location bc I live and work closer to there. But in the future, may be going to Galleria. My husband had a bad experience with them recently as well. Maybe the management there is lacking. Who knows.

I won't upload a picture since its a repeat - black matte 128GB iPhone 7. I really thikn it looks amazing I have one of the Apple black silicon cases on it (new color), it's a black on black look you can see above that a picture doesn't do justtice to.

Compared to the 6s I can tell the 7 is just a tiny bit lighter.

BTW I ran Geekbench 3 nd the results were better than what I saw posted prior to shipment:

my iPhone 6s:
iOS 9.3.5
A9 @ 1.85 GHz
Memory 1.96 GB
SIngle core score - 2551
Multi core score - 4417

my iPhone 7:
iOS 10.0.1
ARM @ 1.94 GHz
Memory 1.95 GHz
Single core - 3528
Multi core - 6140
