Always purchased black faced devices this time went with gold and white face. It was time for a change for me.
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Is there anybody here who really wanted a matte black 7-Plus...but settled on a silver model because of availability?
How do you like the silver/white color now?
There are no known concerns over the Matte Black with fingerprints and/or scratching. It's the Jet Black you're referring to, the glossy / shiny one.

Do u find the white face distracting?
I quite like how everything is blacked out on the black face - that only the screen is bright? If you know what I mean?
I had ordered a matte black, but gold was a close second. So when I found a gold in stock at the Apple Store, it wasn't a difficult decision to cancel the matte black and take the gold. Color isn't much of a concern to me anyway. I do have a clear case but I mostly carry my phone in my Apple black leather case.
Given all the concerns with the blacks in terms of fingerprints, scratches, etc. I am rethinking waiting to get one. Silver would be my third choice, but maybe the right one. I'll probably have a damn case on it most of the time, so it may not matter.

I essentially went and got a silver/white model....But just couldnt do it... Finally found a Matte Black 256gb at a local sams club and purchased. And extra plus is that all of their phones are at A1661 models so mine is already fully unlocked as well.
I originally had a silver 7 Plus but I just couldn't get over the fact that it wasn't black. My last several iPhones were silverI—I like the color a lot—but the black is really sharp. I ended up babysitting the Apple Store availability web site and trading my silver in for black as soon as I found one.
