I'm guessing Silver and Gold will be the least favourite now, and that Black and Jet Black will have the most votes?

Jet Black? Prepare for lots of scratches...

I think everyone will put a case on it anyway (which also hides the beauty of the black), ha ha ha...

Still haven't decided if I'm going to get one or not, but if I do, it'll most probably be the Black.
Gold, Silver and Pink are not even considered since I don't like the white faceplate. Jet Black looks nice, but it'll obviously gather fingerprints faster than a crime scene.

Perhaps a screen protector for the back?

Perhaps, but I think it would still kill the "jetness". Same for clear cases, which I never liked anyway.

I prefer the white faceplate though, don't know why but I've always associated iDevices with the color white, ha ha. But both Gold and Silver are boring and dated for me now, and I still don't consider myself metrosexual enough to use Rose Gold.

There will still some tiny sands or dust will go into it..better dont...

matte black FTW ..

glass back like samsung phone is a big no no for me .. wasting lots of time wiping fingerprint & smudges since i like it naked

If I had a choice, I had always prefer black color on all my phones
For this ip7, my choice would be

Jet Black>Black>Gold>Silver>Rose Gold

I am not too worried about possible scratches on the Jet Black as I will always had a flipcase use with it

I like the Jet Black the most but have to see it IRL
I takut scratches and worse - fingerprints as i do not use any casing for my phones and no screen or apa protectors
One thing is its only available in 128 and 256gb when 32gb is more than sufficient for me
Is the Jet Black body aluminum or plastic?

next color of choice - Black

all color same material just process anodize the color diff due to glossy i guess

Either jet black or black. Wait to see one in real life first before deciding

After viewing the video at the official 7 thread, I have decided to get Black 😅
Beh tahan the fingerprints on the jet black

Black instead of Jet Black

Jet Black is nice but it looks like a Samsung S7 Edge/Note7 Back

Other advantages of the Matte surface are less finger prints and better scratch resistance

The other thing about Jet Black is that it is only available for 128GB and 256GB. Those considering entry level 32GB won't have this option.

Scratches won't be that obvious duh.
What's wrong with a little wear and tear?

Not good for a perfectionist for me.
But i will not risk lor..

Looks like those who are looking for Gold, Rose Gold and Silver will have better chances securing a unit

I also prefer white faceplate
and I hate black colour phone, too boring
almost every phone got black colour

normally I will get Jet Black, Silver or Rose Gold
but still need to see real unit before purchase

If I were to purchase, Matte Black anyday.

Jet Black looks nice and new but I've used iPhone 3GS before. It smudges like crazy and scratches are way more visible.

looking at SG pre-orders

Jet Black - delivery only in Nov
Black - 2-3 weeks
Silver 32gb - 2 to 3 weeks,
but others colors 6 to 8 days

Pity we didn't get a blue color...

I personally thinks that matte Black should be replaced with that matte Blue.

When people asked for full black iPhone, Apple gave two kinds of black. Oh well, I'm just ranting.

Wonder how black is the black compared to space grey?

nothing wrong peoples will tolerate it over time, but not as soon as they start using

like car, when it comes new, careful careful until minor scratches.... then started to let it be

so, conclusion is, Apple warn it can be scratch easily, use it with care... some people dont want to be paranoid... so not choosing jet black instead

From pictures, it looks like a legitimate full black. Space Grey looks like a lighter grey now.

but got 2 black

Jet Black would be my choice and my first iPhone.

Actually rose gold will have the least market now.

Hmm. Black or Jet Black. Hard to decide now!

Strange but so hard to find a rose gold when the 6S was launch... Now tak laku di...

matte black will always look better for me. oh wait guess im waiting for 7s

Nothing surprised. Rose gold has been the new colors for the past one two gen of products including iPad, iPhone, MacBook etc. new color sure ppl will go for it as it is also the key change to the new product. Same for gold color was once a popular color when it is new. Now rose gold is not new anymore, plus given the 'pink' look of it, it is really meant for niche market. If it is not due to new color last time. It will unlikely to become a popular color when compare to others.

Same reason why black colors are the hot color for iPhone 7 simply because they are new.

Quote 1:05 onwards

“I don’t think I can seriously recommend the jet black to anyone. It looks good when you keep it clean, which is what they were doing [in Apple's demo room], but not only is it going to be the slipperiest iPhone of all time, but it’s also going to be super-prone to fingerprints, like Samsung phones, and scratches.”

He found one of the jet black iPhone 7 models in the demo room already had small scratches on it.

Anyhow, if finger print smears and tiny scratches do not matter much, just opt for the jet black according to your heart’s content. Both are stunning

Thanks for the video.

OMG! I can seen the scratch, it is too easier scratch already. Hmmm.... wait for more on review.

Lucky the normal Black also nice, if the Jet Black is way too much easier to scratch, then I will pick Black. Still got plenty time to decide.

My dislike for the white faceplate is because;
1. I find it too distracting, especially that black border that separates the screen from faceplate.
2. How closely the finishes resembles cheapo toilet ceramic.

Haha - "Cheapo toilet ceramics"... Nice!

True. 24 hours into this poll and clearly the new black and jet black is leaving every other color in the dust

Prefer black....

Yes, looks like Black is the most popular at the moment, which means if I opt for Silver or Gold should be easier to get once it reaches our shores

I read an article that China most of them choose Jet Black compared to Black.

I foresee a new gate coming to town...

The iPhone 7 micro-abrasions gate...

Jet Black would be my choice

Well, Jet Black is not an option for those who only want 32GB base storage. Anyway, even if I did opt for 128GB I'd probably not take Jet Black. It's a fingerprint magnet!

I decide get Jet Black already because I always use transparent case for my phone which means no worried on finger print and scratch.

Apple should have come out with a Jet White. Less obvious oily smudges and micro abrasions
Maybe they keeping it for the 10th anniversary edition. Pure white like the ceramic watch. Here's hoping

I wud choose jet black
Btw, black is leading with 53%

What surprises me is that Rose Gold has outlived it's popularity..

Use transparent case

Probably because these votes came majority from men.

Votes in lyn forum is not real reflection on actual demand & preference..

Will be taking the Black instead of Jet Black

Hahaha... Good point

This is true. But I still have a feeling Black and Jet Black will have limited stocks once it arrives here.

I'm also leaning towards Black this round.

The black is so sexay

Yes, I do feel that too.
Apple cannot fulfil demand..

Malaysia may cut short orders for the non hot colours such as silver, gold and bump the orders for the blacks. Looking at trend, black has always been the hotter choice.

I can't decide between jet black or still stick with rose gold. Most likely will go with the trend of popular colors.

Will you be getting it from maxis this round or are you buying retail?

Plan to buy from Apple online store. Unless maxis comes out with a really good deal. Don't really like contracts.

Yup, especially with iPhones most contract will be for two years if you want a significant discount...

I prefer go apple reseller to get them, since I want to check out the colours as well
as for contract, maxis only got oneplan, which cost at least RM 128
is unfair for those light user like me which just require 2gb data / month

Then get RM98 plan.

as I mentioned earlier cheapest contract is oneplan 128 (that what 6s offer currently)
*7 should follow 6s contract as well

Ahh i see, didn't know that was their contract offerings. Thanks for the info. Looks like the best bet is buy outright from Apple and save more from being tied to a contract.

alternatively go for other telco like celcom, digi and u mobile

but I am going outright which buy from apple reseller since I want to check out the colour 1st

Yes, two years is too long a contract. Max is 12 months for me.

Btw, celcom has trade in programs during the launch of iPhones for the past two years. Nothing great but no harm asking the prices.

I thought maxis still have ivalue plans?

The only benefit buying from Apple online store is the 1-1 exchange if the phone is defective during initial purchase. Did the return during my i5 purchase with no hassle.

no longer exist, I just visit maxis website, only either zerolution (which change phone every year) or normal contract (oneplan 128, 158 or 188)
here >> https://store.maxis.com.my/maxis/personal/d...4589.1470565231

but buying from Apple Online Store took some delivery date which can't get on the spot, but pros is as you mention offer 1 to 1 exchange
on the other side if buy from Apple Reseller, pros is can get on the spot but if there's any cosmetic issue, they ask you send to service center unless heavy issue like screen not working, etc ..

but still I will go and buy from Apple Reseller

Ouch. Just realized maxis don't have ivalue plans anymore.

Back to the color topic. Jet black looks interesting. But I wonder if it would scratch easily.

The sample size may not b true reflection of user taste

Absolutely. More dudes here, I think

Can't consider Celcom coz maxis is the only telco with decent service in my housing area, so yeah, I'm basically stuck with them On the bright side though, since the whole social media fiasco, I'm now getting 10GB for my maxis OnePlan 128 compared to 3GB when I first signed the plan with them last year so I'm happy

I think it's not so much that it scratches easily but more like every single tiny scratch is more obvious due to the glossy glass-like finish. Here's a look at the real thing posted in the other topic: -

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=81663239

Black jet for now as used the black i5 before. Currently my model is silver.

Oh, ok ok. I was at maxis just now for other stuff. Enquired about their plans. It's true. No more ivalue or even surfmore. Sad. Just going to stick with my surfmore.

The color is too black or too masculine for me. I probably need to see it at the stores first. Not in the rush to buy but dateline by dec.

yeah if got ivalue I will go and sign up
as for scratches, just get any casing will do

As of now Gold has the least votes... D*mn, hopefully still can sell my 6S Plus 64GB Gold when the 7 reaches our shores

A little warning from Engadget, for those considering Jet Black: -

The phones come in new colors too: a matte black and "jet black." The former looks exactly what you'd expect a black iPhone to look like, though the dark finish does a good job obscuring those antenna bands. Jet black, meanwhile, is at once lovely and a bit of a bummer. When I say lovely, I really mean it: The moment I touched one, I couldn't believe it was made of the same 7000 series aluminum as the others. In fact, it doesn't feel like metal at all, thanks to Apple's lengthy anodization and polishing process. Jet black iPhone bodies feel just as glossy and slick to the touch as their glass screens, and that unity makes them feel like seamless, cohesive wholes. The entire thing is seriously impressive, even if it feels sort of plasticky.

Then the scratches and smudges appear. I'm not a case person, but I take good care of my things and exercised what felt like a more than reasonable level of caution carrying these new phones around. It didn't even take 24 hours for the first batch of scratches to appear on my jet black iPhone 7's back, which was either the result of placing it on a bar's granite countertop or repeatedly shoving it into my empty jeans pocket. Those little nicks have only multiplied, which could be an understandable deal-breaker for some of you.

Full article: https://www.engadget.com/2016/09/13/iphone-...-7-plus-review/

Get the Jet black as it is a brand new colour and easily to distinguish from others

Case is a must already, I shall purchase a transparent case 1st in this scenario.

3:03 onwards ( scratches from repeatedly shoving it into pockets)

Jet Black for sure, I will cover it with a Spigen transparent TPU casing. I am fans of Spigen products.

Sexy JB all the way with no regrets.
Anyway, will skip iP7/7+ & wait for iP7s+.

Global shortage for the jet black right now, even after Apple warned that it will scratch easily

If i were to grab one, i will stick with my same old ip 6 color which is silver

Silver ftw~

black for sure... not a fan of those super glossy plastic-ish look of jet black

gonna pick Black.. it's looking sexy

Same here, I think.

I change my decision already, Black will be my choices.

matte black!

silver to match my macbook

Looks like black n jet black is the main choice

So those opting for Gold, Silver and Rose Gold will have less competition to grab a unit when the phone is released
